NUMBER CONVERTED
AT ElON COLLEGE

ELON COLLEGE. n, c., Feb. Ii
The vast audience that heard the
concluding service of the evangelistic
services In the college auditorium was
treated to a rare scene of beauty
when at the conclusion of the invita-
ton hymn. the minister. DIR. j. W.
Harrell. Portsmouth. Va, requested all
who had experienced definite change
Of heart and life during the previous
ten days to join him at the altar for
the parting word of advice and prayer
Fully one hundred of the noblest
young men and women of the in
stitution responded Immediately. 1t
was a beautiful scene to behold, and
one that will linger long in memory
DR.. Harrell gave the new beginners
IN the Christian life a five-minutes
talk of wonderful helpfulness. advis-
ing them to begin to work at once for
Christ, and there was eidence in the
expression of those addressed TO show
that they intended to follow his ad-
vice. Elon is accustomed to great
meetings, and this one was no excep-
ton.
That which gave the final service
its flavor, however. was the opening
ten minutes of the service, when DR.
Harrell called for volunteers for the
foreign mission field, and four young
people responded Immediately, three
young men and one young lady. Then
he asked all who were willing to go
to foreign fields if God made the call
plain and definite to go to come to the
altar and twenty-five responded with
out hesitation two young ladies and
tWenty-three young men. Such a
scene had never been witnesses in the
college chapel. The spirit of evange-
ism and of missions is one and it
proved so during this series of meet
ings.

Hargreave's glance sought the mir

man. He laughed. but the sound con-

turned and went down the steps slow
ly, like a man burdened with some
thought which was not altogether to
his liking. He had sent an order for

now It was as natural for him to
throw a glance over his shoulder
whenever he left the house as 1t was
for him to breathe. The average man
would have grown careless during all
these years; but Hargreave was not
an average man; he was, rather, an
extraordinary individual. 1t was his
life in exchange for eternal vigilance.
and he knew and accepted the fact.
Half an hour later he got into a
taxicab and directed the man to drive
downtown as far as Twenty-Five

Hargreave covered a good deal Of
ground. but during all this time his
right hand never left the automatic IN

moments when he was obliged to sign

inquiries afterward.

"Where did you get this?"

Hargreave read the note. 1t stated
briefly that all his movements during

that he had collected a million In pa
