One of Mr. Flowers recent editorials reads
as follows:
Wednesday night, May 29th, was record
breaker in the Assembly of God, at No. 9 N. New
Jersey, Indianapolis. Sister Bertha MacEay, an
escaped nun, who has since been converted and
received the baptism in the Holy sp rt, and Sis
ter MeLyia Booher, of Minneapolis, we're
announced, and the people crowded into the hall
until there was scarcely standing room.

tie rapt attention of the aud ence, and many
times tears were seen the faces Of her listen
ers. She told how the priests forced her into
the convent, telling her parents that their only
hope Of salvation lay in their daughter becoming
a nun. She was in the convent five years, and in
that time had terrible experiences She saw all
the horrors of the Spanish inquistion in full
fierce, in their different converts She saw
tain nuns have their eyes put out, their tongues
cut out, smothered under feather bed, hung UP
by the wrists, until the arms came out of the
sockets, pulled across sharp irons the rack
until death ensued, etc. What she saw and expe-
rienced herself SO unnerved her that she became
almost a total nervous wreck. She spent five
years in different converts In one convent there
were fifteen babies born to nuns in two years to
her knowledge. These all were bapt zed by the
priests at birth, handed to tie mother superior,
and Immediately smothered and thrown into the
line pit. AS she became little too inqusitiye
and discovered twenty nuns in lower dungeon,
lying the hard floor in the m DIST of filth ana
rags, being incarcerated because they would not
obey the lustful commands of the priests and
also explored forbidden part Of the convent and
foHnd a nun and priest together in Of the
rooms, she was hung up by the wrists with her
toes barely touching the floor, and was told that
if she not careful she would be disposed Of
and thrown into the lime pit.
Three months Before she to have taken the
black veil she determ ned to escape She was
taken home to see her parents, and God opened
tie way through her broken down physical cOndi-
ton to remain at home by order of physician,
to which the priests complied This opened the
way for her to hear the gospel message through
the Volunteers of America, and she goriously
converted This has brought great persecution
from the priests She driven from home and
from city to city. She has been stoned and left
for dead twice, and only recently she was pos-
Oned by q Jesuit in restaurant in Detroit where
she had secured work in hopes of finding her
father, who she learned was sick. AS soon as she
realized SIZE poisoned, she prayed and claimed
the promise Of Mark 1918, and God heard and
caused her to vomit up enough arsenic to have
killed ten men, and she felt harm.
We have a few copies Of tract conta ming
Sister Mackays testimony, which we will be glad
to send to anyone who is interested for stamped

The hour late when Sister Mackay had
finished her testimony, but the people remained
to hear Sister Booker rushed to
the front and demanded excitedy if she could be
saved at once, and then dropped at the altar, and
the saints gathered around her in prayer. She
reached the believing point and on
her feet shouting the praises of God in her new
found 10y. After the emotions of the people had
somewhat subsidized, Sister Booker spoke until
1920, the people remaining till the close with
eager faces. God is certainly blessing in special
way, at old No g. during the past few weeks.
It is the mind of the assembly to go out in tent
work this summer and a tent has been
