TENT WORK.

followed after lew days by Mr.. +. i.
Smith Brooklyn evangelist who has had
much experience in tent work in the South.
There are many saloons here and large
foreign element. and the neighbOrhood
seems TO be 4 stronghold Of anarchy and
iuhdelity The young people had become
imbucd with these sentiments, and young,
girls, N talking with the lady workers,
would utter sentiments absolutely sFas
pnemOuS and, IN some cases, almost Fnde--
cent. The interest Of this class u Us
presentation Of the truth has been on a<eat
encouragement. There is but one ESSishzs
speaking church in the community and this
mas prosecuted its work under many dis
couragements, but God has blessed the
work Of the tent from the beginning. The
tent has been full, with many listeners who
stand outside and refuse to come in. Many
conversions have shown that
the Lords blessing WAS upon
the efforts put forth here. One
Sunday night drunken man came TO the
door ia his shirt sleeves. and was led in ard
seated comfortably. Although deeply in
l5sica'ei he drank in every word of the
gospel message, and, after conversation 81
the close of The service, accepted Christ
His last words rs he left the tent We're,
"Oh. | AN so glad l came 10 the tent to-
NIGHT"
The children's meetings at this tent have
been under the charge Of Miss \. W. PoXOn,
who led many children 70 Christ last sum
