interesting meeting of the Wake For
est Missionary Society was held in the
Wingate Memorial Hall Sunday even
ing. DR.. Walter Skies, the president,
made Il talk, and in the course of his
remarks he said that the people
seemed to him to have a desire to get
closer to Christ, and TO know Him.
He said that it is held by many that
the world is getting better and that
whether this is the case or not one
great evidence that would lead to such
a conclusion would be the fact that
more books are being written now on
the life of Jesus Christ than at any
other time, and these books are being
read.
DIR. Skies said further, in speaking
of the protracted meeting that began
last night that one time a protractcd
meeting was in progress near here
many years ago, and number of stu
dents went to it, among them being
several that were not Christians
When they returned and resumed
their work i'm the field as was GUS
tomary, DR.. Wait the president, being
in the field with them and looking
into their faces and seeing that they
were impressed, suggested that 6hey
go to the school house and hold a
prayermeeting. They all went to the
meeting and a revival was begun that
resulted in the conversion of every
man in the institution.

talk, and in conclusion he requested
the young men to, present Christ to
their unconyerted students as they
