liable acquisition, because it greatly en-
hances the prospects Of q glorious future

line.

Yesterday closed our week of prayer.
All meetings were well attended, and
we believe that Of those who attended
none regretted, but went away feeling
spiritually strengthened and slessed.
Certainly there was no one present At
our last meeting Who was not deeply
and indelibly impressed as Ar. Dunn
mitt, IN stirring tones, spoke Of the need
of grace OF God in our hearts, urging up
on Us to accept this grace and pointing
out, by living examples, its wonderful
Transforming power upon the lives Of
men. When such words as those spoken
by Mr.. Dummett make rs 70 see more
clearly the great temptations With which
young nen of today have 70 battle and
70 which they oft.n Weld, truly We
o oaght always 20 pray that the saving
grace OF God may be aburdantly poured
out.
