When the invitation was given for
persons to come forward some who

to the interest of the meeting. The

with so much reluctance that it was
taken up again at two by Miss Jen.

the first to its close. In the evening
DR.. Boyl preached with unusual
earnestness and tenderness. Then
the last invitation came to come to
Jesus, There was but one respon.
ded, but she was greatly helped.
After the meeting was closed
which was certainly the best one OIL
all, there fingered a young man just
outside of the Auditorium who Miss
Jennie found in a very anxious state
to be saved. After some persuasion
he went back into the building where
singing and prayer was engaged in
for some time, Before leaving fol
his home, near Grantsville. he fell
that he could trust all his interests in
the hands of God.
There were only two or three con
versions as far as we can tell, yet THU
was sufficient reward, not saying
anything of the great number wht
were so wonderfully helped.
The strong probabilities are tha
there will be another similar meeting
next year. J. A. E.
