4 CARD.

Shreveport Louisiana.
To the readers Of The Progress !!
have been in your city for
some time, preaching on the streets
and in in the public halls, and
have found a host of Christian
friends aud others who are not
Christians.
The Lord has given me forty
seven souls for my labor. Give
God the glory. Hallelujah to His
name!
We have had eighteen CONVEX
sions among the white people and
the balance among the colored.
God sends His power to all people,
both white and black. We want
souls saved: haIlelujah! to His
name | am saved.
On the second of February was
on the streets and the weather was
very cold and heavy, and the good
man of the store near by gave and
furnished light while, and then
he opened his heart and the store
door flew open, and he asked me
and all thc congregation to walk
IN ana he said for me TO hold our

meeting in it. And the house was
crowded with people; and God
sent His power and saved nine
souls, or they claimed to have for
saken sin and taken Christ for
their guide. Hallelujah! to His
name.
Twas never treated any better
than | was by this man who open
ed his store door for service. May
God bless him and save him from
sin and give him a crown of glory.
May God bless every church in
the city, and may they all be
cleansed from sin. And God
bless the Salvation Army and
give them souls for their labor, and
save the city from death. May
the city Of Shreveport and her peo-
pie be prosperous in finances and
above all, give Heaven to them for
their home.
The policemen have been kind
to me. They have not bothered
me for preaching. May God save
them, and while they watch for
men, may they watch for the COM
ing of Jesus: for He is sure COM
ing.
Well, God bless everybody and
save everybody, if it is His will.
Yours saved and sanctified: hall
lelujah!
Watson, The Evangelist.

early date, call a mass meeting of
all citizens of Shreveport to aid in
the undertaking.
They recommend that the man
ner of raising the subscriptions be
through donations, as follows:
To be paid on the installment plan
and calling for not more than 20
per cent of the amount of such
subscription.
They also recommend that a
committee be appointed with in
structions to proceed to raise said
subscriptions instanter, and that
the secretary open an Office for the
transaction of business by March
list 1898.
The idea in appointing this COM
mittee is to ascertain as speedily
as practicable whether said
amount will be generously and
literally subscribed, for on their
success will depend the fate of
this effort.''
The Progress thinks it will be
unable to give the result of Thurs
day niget's meeting, owing to the
tine of going to ipress. But the
people Of Shreveport have never
failed to respond when our town
asked nheir their assistance.

The pospect for a fair this Fall

of news that the farmers Of the
