Elder S. kimbaIi's Mission.

There is steadily increasing interest
in the mission work. which is being con-
Quoted by Elder kimball in this city.
From many points of view it is the most
remarkable work which has beer. carried
on in Gardiner for many years. Scores
Of men and women, who have known the
littleness and degradation of sin and pow
erty have been led by genuine conversions
into changed and Christian life. The
experiences of many have been OF strik-
ing and vivid character, and are now Civ
ing substantial proofs in daily life and
conduct in home and family Of what the
mower of God still does for men VINO come
TO have living faith in Him.
The charitable and philanthropic work
which is also being carried on by them
Is scarcely less noteworthy than the re-
lipious experiences which have been men
toned above. The spirit of brotherhood
and harmony manifested in this work, in
deeds Of unusual sacrifice for each other
ard for the cause of God should be an
;n.niration to all Christian and social
workers.
Elder Kimball. the man who Is at the
head of the work. is scarcely less re-
markable than the work itself which is
being carried on. Thoroughly trained in
+he school of business and adversely,
knowing the ways of the world, he has
q singular power of going straight into
the hearts of the people whom he meets.
. Combined with this insight, he possesses
fearless courage, resolute will, charitable
svmpathies and a spirit of complete con-
secretion to the work of Christ. In addi-
tion TO these gifts, many here and else
where testify to his remarkable power of
faith. which accompanies his gift Of
healing He has been engaged In mis-
sion work for the past Is years and wher-
ever he hes labored he has accomplished
n work of abiding value and left the
towns and cities in which he has heen
uitb hotter conditions of manhood and
faith.
The Christian people and ministry of
Gardiner. who have become acquainted
with his work have become genuine SYM
pathizers both with the man and his
work and heartily commend to all who
desire better things for our city this
movement as in every way worthy of
their sympathy and support.
At the suggestion of DR.. Walsh. the
union of pastors and churches. which is
now conducting the special services IN the
First Baptist church, has invited Elder
Kimhal and his people to Join with
the Union for the remaining days OF the
week.
