At the close of u powerful sermon

last evening Mr. Sunday offered one
Of his characteristic prayers. in which
he invoked the Divine blessing on the
working girls and women OF all
classes, some 1.4OO OF whom occupied
A special section OF the tabernacle re-
served for them. He then extended
the invitation for all to come forward
and give their hands to him and their
hearts TO God. Following the invita-
tion the choir sang a hymn. and dur
ing the singing the personal workers
got busy and in very few minutes
The "sawdust trail was filled with
people vending their way forward to
take their stand for Christ.
From all quarters ot the crowded
building came the converts, and they
were met with a smile and a hearty
handshake from BILLY" and then took
their seats in the front rows. where
their names were secured by the sec
retaries. Two hymns were sung. and
during this time the aisles were
crowded. and when the meeting closed
l39 people had publicly confessed
their acceptance OF Jesus as their
Savior.
RIBBONS ON CONVERTS
PLEASING TO SUNDAY.
Among the fist of converts were
many OF the business women, who
could be distinguished by the ribbons
worn. and this pleased Mr.. Sunday
greatly. and his face lighted with
pleasure every time he grasped the
hand OF one of them. A noticeable
feature OF the converts was the fact
that the large majority of them were
young men and women. although quite
a number of the older folks were
among the number.
After the converts had all been
seated. and while the secretaries were
getting ready TO make up their lists.
Mr.. Sunday offered another OF his
prayers, in which he thanked God for
the wonderful manifestation OF His
presence. Never. q Lord. have
