Mrs. Brechbill Writes Of the Fire
Brand Doings.

Uptucu aug. II Us Ph0'io"o'y ou
nounced. More evangelists came
than we expected. Full salvation
was taught from the first service and
sham, shallow, half-hearted work
found no room whatever. Hungry
souls were richly fed, while critics,
hypocrites, cold formal church MEM
bers, and sham holiness professors
brought in the same accusations that
we're brought against Jesus and Paul
as well as all his other faithful fol-.
lowers.
Cold Journalism and man-made
rules we're especially struck at, being
the principal cause Of our own back
slidings in former years.
Our Oldest daughter was marvel
ously healed on the evening of the
18th in answer to prayer and annoint-
ing. For ten days previous she had
a severe attack of typhoid malaria,
fever at times being at its highest
tension, but instantly the fever left
her and she arose and with little aid
walked to the meeting about 30 yards
from the house and testified to what
God had done for her.
Every day that week visitors were
met at the trains, coming from east,
west, north and south, causing much
rejoicing iu the camp. Sunday was
day OF victories. The tent and sur,
rounding accommodations were not
sufficient for the crowd. 1t is suppos.
ed nearly 1000 people were on the
grounds. The morning sermon by j.
Bathurst. was followed by communion
service, after which were ordination
services
At 2 O'Clock were German services
conducted by H. Hartman. 1t cheer
ed our souls to see evangelists and
others shout and say "Amen" with
out understanding a word. At 8
o'clock B. Fl. Irwin gave an address
which which will be remembered by
all who heard it.
Monday morning was the noted
service when the altar was well filled
with earnest seekers, one sister came
1856 miles to be helped, and went to
the altar for entire sanctifcation.
While seeking, the idol of her heart
came between her and God, and calm
ly arising confessed it, and handing
her purse to Brother Irwin said:
Here it is, now | am ready for the
blessing. He told her not to do this
in any excitement but consider well
what she was doing. After assuring
him she was perfectly conscious Of it
all, he took the money telling her
that every cent would be used in
Gods cause.
This all occurred in my presence.
The money amounted to $95, given
not for the healing OF her cancer but
to get rid Of the dearest idol of her
heart. No collections were held on
the grounds, and how anyone got the
idea that | paid Irwin 800 | cannot
see, for all I gave him out of my
pocket was a stamped envelope.
Tuesday morning several left for
other appointments. B. Fl. Irwin
and wife, Brother Robinson, DR..
McElroy with a few other were the
ones that left. B. H. Irwin was al
together ignorant Of the plot laid for
him, but had an important engage
ment to meet at Lincoln. Whoever
saw revolver in his pocket certainly
had a beam in their own eye. All the
time he was with US | saw nothing Of
the kind and know he has given bis
life in Gods hands and is ready to
meets martyrs death any time
Tuesday evening was the excite
ment by the mob. After services on
his way to the house one Of the mob
pounced on G. NJ. Henson's back,
choking him and some tore his coat
and carried him to tank full OF
water, held him in, soaring his right
cheek. After recovering he knelt by
the tank and began to pray for them.
This so enraged them that they threw
him in the second time, soon he again
recovered and began in the meekness
Of Jesus to admonish them but was
urged by the saints to come to the
