large gathering of Christian Endeavorers-
He will return to Washington the latter

charge. Several afternoon meetings will
be held in the First Congregational

charge and give a short address. and

dying woman.
DO you believe in God?" he asked.
YES" answered the woman.

asked.

sometimes there is a voice that says to
me there is mercy for me- He went
OUTSIDE and Wept, and pretty soon ne.
