THE GATES MEET l..
ING IN UNION CITY

Mr.. e. L. Watson, writing from
Union City to the Baptist and Refec-
tor, says
From the very beginning, ! never
questioned the wisdom OF inviting
Geo. C. Gates to Union City. How
ever. some of my brethren were fear
full of the results. But God was back
of the movement. His people were
hungry for a great, religious awaken
ing and prayed down blessing that
fell upon US like a gentle shower
The results may be summed up as
follows:
/. Union City witnessed such re-
vival as it had never seen; people
discussed religion everywhere. 1t was
the topic of conversation upon the
streets, in the shops, stores, factories,
restaurants, and pool rooms. Schools
marched through the streets singing
The fountain filed with blood"
2. Brother Gates demonstrated to a
certainty that people can be reached
without resorting to subterfuge, STRAIT
egy or sensationalism. His strong
plea is, that God is not dead" The
four things he breaches is, THE blood
Of the Lamb" Have Faith in God;'
pray without ceasins;" Speak the
Word" The people gladly hear the
simple word of God. He rides no hob
bies. has no sensational methods. dis
arms antagonism by direct. firm. ou'
always loving appeals.
3. One OF the greatest blessings
that came to the church was the de
yelopment of large number OF per
sonal workers, who are really anxiou:

before was there such spirit OF per
