brief outline of his trip to and from that city,
and spoke of the cordialty and good fellow
ship that prevailed, and of the intense enthu-
siasm and religious interest that was manifest
in all the thousands of people present; the
Keystone OF the whole seeming to be per-
sonal consecration to Christ. Mr.. Houghton
said he would not try to give an extended re-
port OF the meetings as we had that in the
daily papers, but he mentioned DR.. Chapman
| as prominent speaker and one whom he
personally enjoyed. The music was a princi-
1
beautiful beyond description. Mr.. Houghton
considered that he was amply repaid for go
ing, and that the results from such a meeting
must be felt all over the United States. He
very kindly offered to answer questions con-
eerning the convention at any time, by those
| interested.
