DAY AND sJNDAY.
l. Greatly Encouraged by Attendance
aud Cooperation aspects
Grand Results.

How are you this morning, MIR.
Yatman, after your big days work.
said a STAR representative to the
evangelist. Splendid, had a glor-
ious day Yesterday, how are your'
What kind Of a mems meeting
had you'' was the next question.
Magnificent meeting" was the
prompt reply. 1T was a large
meeting, and we had representatives
OF every class in the city"
will you give the readers Of
THE STAR some idea of the nature
of your address,
Yes, it was upon the necessity
of sinful man having a new nature
that he may become a good man
and a good citizen. My purpose is
not SO much to keep men out of
hell hereafter as to get hell out Of
them here, | am not so anxious to
get them to heaven, as to get some
OF heaven into every human life
now.
How about the subject of your
address, Lamb or Tiger, which, "
By that | meant that the tiger
nature in man must receive from
God the nature of Jesus Christ, the
Lamb of God.
II illustrated that by incidents
i'll connection with my ministry in
Newark, New Jersey, where a gang
OF toughs known as the dirty nine,
were soundly converted to God, and
the tiger changed to lamb.
1t is impossible for a report to
give the livinl picture as presented
by the evangelist of the nine tiger
like men who were changed by the
power Of God.
Were tht results of the mems
meeting satisfactory to you Mr..
Yatman'? YES the results were
entirely satisfactory, and | am of
sanguine temperament too"
How about the womans meet
ing. Why, we had large attend
ance of the best ladies of the city.
| made an appeal to the ladies for
help in these meetings especially in
prayer and personal effort to inter
est others. 1t was a good meeting
and will do much to make the re-
naming meetings a great success"
please tell me about your other
meetings Mr.. Yatmant"
1--WE had a Workers Council
and Prayer Meeting in the Y. NJ.
{. A. at 9 a. III Its object was to
return thanks to God for the good
already done and to pray for the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon
Honolulu; after prayer, methods of
work were briefly discussed and
suggestions asked for from the
workers present. At II a. III.
preached to the
students of Kamehameha school.
My theme was the duty of giving
to God and his service the whole Of
our being. 1t was good service,
and the teachers, and students were
deeply interested as far as | could |
see. Then there was the woman's
meeting at 3 p. III. and mems
meeting at 4 p. III. At 6:3o
we held union meeting OF Y
NJ. c. A. and Christian En-
deavor at Central Union Church.
| took the IS chapter Of Isaiah as
the lesson and illustrated its state
ment that 'the wilderness shall
blossom as the rose" by three cases
which have come under my notice
where a wilderness of sin in the
heart had been made to blossom
like the garden of God. The young
people paid strict attention and |
expect that they will greatly help
me during the rest of the meetings. |
AT 1880 | spoke in Kau-
makapili, Rev. Mr.. Parker
interpreting My theme
was Jesus the Friend and Savior of
Sinners'-there were about twenty
enquirers at the end Of the service
Yes, it was an impressive service"
How about the support given
you i'll your work by the Christ
ians, Mr.. Yatman?"
IL am very much pleased at the
way am being helped, the pastors
with their people are doing much to
l. Al
prayeriul, quiet work done outside
the services as well as by attend
ance."
Mr.. Yatman unlike most evan
gelists seems neither to be in a
hurry nor anxious for numbers.
His anxiety is for the depth and
quality of his work and in this he
will no doubt have the sympathy
and help of every well wisher of
