These are the different ministers of
the town churches who are here to do
their part toward making these meet
ings a successful outpouring OF the
souls great love for great redeemer.
II is arranged that these ministers
each have their separate work TO do,
and as they come forward to make a
few necessary remarks, their JOY is
manifest in their smiling faces, and
their trust in their chosen leader to
speak great truths TO many people is
secure. Each one capable to sway
their people by convincing arguments,
it would seem that through their pray
ers and devotional demeanor they were
imbuing this their leader with some OF
their own strength-and some of their
own knowledge which has come to
them as it has come to him through
much searching through the wonderful

deeply into the works of the brainest

And he makes them sing! Whether
they will or no-and each heart finds

song, the prayer finds words more
quickly.
And then when the announcements
have been made, and the choir has
ceased its singing, when the offering
has been taken and each can say in
his heart "All things come of thee oh
Lord, and of thine own, have we given
thee" the great speaker is ready to
stand before the people and deliver an
other sermon as great as the one be-

chapter 10th verse. There never could
be more touching or sorrowful text
than this, and it would seem to almost
