NEIGHBORHOOD
PRAYER MEETINGS
Nearly One Thousand Persons Pre-
sent at Seventy-Four Meetings.
CHURCHES OF CITY UNITED.
Program of Meetings for Tomorrow
Night.

Two weeks of the neghbOrh0od
prayer meetings have closed. with
most gratifying results. During the
two weeks seventy-four meetings We're
held in the various sections of the city
with total attendance which lacks
but few of being a thousand per
sons.
In every quarter of the city the
meetings have met with most hearty
support There has been a readiness
on the part OF the people TO offer their
homes. which has been a happy sur
prise to those in charge of the cam
paign. The plans of the ministers
who arranged for the present cam
paign have been carried out with great
precision, The definite announcements
was made at the beginning that the
meetings would continue from 10
$50 o'clock.
With the meetings occurring twice
a week, for four weeks. the ministers
We're desirous that the interest should
be sustained TO the end and they there
fore. insisted upon keeping to the
schedule. There have been times. how
yer, when the deep interest of some OF
the gatherings has made it necessary
TO overstep the limit of the half hour.
Another feature of the plan that
seemed Objectionable at the first. was
the use of the window cards annouuc-
ing the meetings. But it soon became
clear to those who were offering their
homes that, if they were willing 10
have prayer meeting in their homes.
there could be no good reason why
they should not let their neiehbors
know it. With the rarest exception,
the cards have been most willingly
placed in the house windows and al
lowed to hang there for two or three
days before the time of the meeting
This has offered opportunity for
everybody round about to know OF The
meeting. 1t must be remembered that
the meetings are in no sense eXclus-
i've but that they are for all OF the
people
Another pleasing feature of the
neighborhood campaign is the spirit of
unity which prevails The sectional
committees are composed OF iaymen
from all of the cooperating churches.
and the leaders are chosen from all of
the churches. The home may be Of
one denomination the leader OF an
other, and the people attending of all
denominations. Such a series of
meetings must make for true Christ
{ ian unity.
Two weeks OF the neighborhood cam
paign will open in the churches under
the leadership of Evangelist Faulco-
ner. There will be meetings on the
Tuesdays and Fridays in all parts of
the city. The people are asked to
watch for the window cards and attend
the various gatherings
Uniform prayer topics are being
followed throughout these meetings.
