gatherings.
At some of the meetings which the
pastor addressed there were more than
1.0G0 persons in attendance. The fact
that such large attendances came out to
the services and the deep religious nature
of the people made strong impression on

Tyre was fortified city, and its strength
and wealth are referred to in III Sam, 2i:T:

been promoted to great prominence and
