The prayer meeting at the Taunton
schoolhouse, Tuesday evening, was
good beginning for 1906. Every seat
was taken, Sd in all attending. Friends
from Newtown Street came over and
load of men accompanied Rev Albert
Steele from Bethel. Very simply but
clearly Mr. Steele spoke upon the 18th
chapter OF LIST Corinthians, showing
how true vision Paul had Of the need
of Christ-like love in our lives. And
of how, as Prof Drummond has said,
1T is the greatest thing in the world. -
Following the remarks the Bethel
brethren gave powerful testimonies as
to what Gods love had meant since
their hearts had been opened to the
Divine gift. The meeting closed with
a prayer service, in which many took
part. And we said one to another, 1t
was good to be here. Next week Rev
Mr. Danforth is expected and it is
hoped, as this is his first service with
US, that the Taunton people will all
be there to welcome him.
