One good result of the donation is
seen by the increased attendance at
meeting. In the course of his re-
marks Mr.. Dodd told the people that
he did not suppose there were so ma
ny people at Evansville, as he had
never seen them before, and if they
felt kindly enough toward him to
feed his body so literally, he hoped
they wonId give him chance to feed
their souls as we'll. His wish has
been gratifed iu having full house
ever since. Let us hope that the
work will increase until an abundant
harvest is the result.
