Gently from Chicago, where she has been
assisting Evangelist Moody In great

pecially effective. Following Miss Wray

our first opportunity TO listen to Mr..

power and impression OF his
wonderful voice. The attendance
at this Introductory meeting was good,
and IL the appreciation manifested is
indicative OF the future progress OF the
