there have been numerous conversions,
not only of the children, but OF men and
women, not few of whom had preyl-
ously been VIGOROUSLY wicked.
One of the most successful Of Mr.. Ham
mOnds meetings was that IN st. Louis,
last winter.
He comes to Savannah after twelve
years Of successful labor on two CONT
nents, not as an adyenturer, but on the
urgent invitation of ministers Of the city.
He comes here refusing invitations that
might be regarded as more attractive,
because his word was pledged. he
comes hoping that all Christians Will
work with him, and that united and
systematic efforts, with Gods blessing,
will result in great good.
Rev. James II. Brooks, D. D., Of st.
Louis, is one of the best known and
ablest pastors in that city. When it
was proposed to invite Mr.. Hammond to
St. Louis he opposed the movement, and
for week after the meetings began heidi
not attend. At lenghth he went, and then
wrote to friend a letter in which he IS
unstinted in his praise Of Rev. Hammond
and his able and efficient work IN the
cause Of Christianity
