DEAR MRs. JOHNSON:
We expected to see you before
his. but the days have been 90 fill
4 Il was impossible to break
raw from the PRESSURE upon our
lime.
We spent two most effectusl days
n Macon, Ga, icing the guests of
drs. Cobb; visited their college,
beld one immense shop meeting ct
boon, two large mass meetings at
bieht. Net the Union at their
ooms, Y. M. c. A. Hall, near zen.
line house." After q helpful meet.
no. visited the "fremen" as We
ave done in ali the cities we have
|een in. They enjoy taking out the
orses, showing the ladies how
hey work. It is quite marvellous
hal the horses always know when
lac call is for "fun" rather than
FIRE." After seeing, we hold .
neeting with them which is al.
Eays appreciated. This is a place
There our Literature and Flower
bepts. can do q good work. After
he National Convention we return
ID to Atlanta with the "HERBERr
UARTErT :" they did good service
md while the victory was not gain
ID, in one sense, much good was
one in other respects. We came
Jack to Chattanooga where the
Methodist and Presbyterian
churches called US in united work
nth the Y. M. C. A. and w. G. T.
b. The noon shop meetings were
ranged, so that two and three
hould be held at one noon hour, in
). R. and various corporations. We
ould not respond to all the calls
nade. So it was in Louisville KY.
Dur meetings in the different plac-
d with the "Polioe forces," having
|eading ladies and ministers with
s, have been of deep interest.
The kind receptions and courtesy
Extended with the expressions Of
gratitude for the interest manifest.
ID in them and their callings have
surprised all observers.
If those upon whom the public
lre 80 dependent could be made to
leel in their privations that they
hre remembered by the Christian
people, many would be strengthen
ed to resist their perilous tempta-
|tions.
The day we left Louisville we
net nearly six hundred men in the
J. & N. Shops meeting. We hear
: good number of them have come
put in Mr.. Moody's meetings. We
you'd have enjoyed remaining
through the meetings but had to re.
eurn to al engagement by the 18th.
pnly expected to be in Cincinnati
Pne Sabbath but the interest was
Puch in our department of work
Ind the way 80 clearly opened, we
Pould not turn way from it. For
nine years they have plead with
ne to take up the work in this
pity. Dr.. Banks sent a circular
letter to four thousand R. R. men
ehe week We came, inviting them
70 his church ; go it seemed the way
Fas being prepared for US. But o,
Puch field! Never have We need
Pd the prayers of Gods Children
more than here. The ministers
Pre- generally taking hold and aid
ing In the noon meetings in Offices
|fnd shops. Many have been in the
church during the last week, the
nrst for years. Ono week tonight
lnce we opened the series of meet
kngs in Trinity Church. Thirty
tnree have been converted ; a num-
per OF these will be earnest workers.
The interest is increasing in each
6ervice.
