MISSIONARY RALLY

I desire to tell the readers of The
Caldwell Tribune of a most excellent
missionary rally held at the Pente-
in Caldwell, September LIST to 3rd.
Rev. Clyde Dilley, the pastor, had
planned we'll for the convention some
weeks previous. He had arranged for
Mrs. E. G. Eaton, returned mission
airy from India, now living in Pasa-
dena, Cal, to be present and take
charge of the services on Sunday, also
for several Nazarene pastors of the
district to be present and take part
Mrs. (ampbell and myself were also
m tied to come and tell OF our work
N India.
On account of previous engage
ments Sister Eaton could not be pres
ent at that time. Also some of the
pastors that were expected failed to
come. This was a considerable disap-
pointment. But in spite of all God
overruled and gave us victorious
time from start to finish.
Rev. B. w. Herrell, the pastor at
Boise, opened the convention with an
excellent evangelistic sermon on Fri
day evening. He preached in his
unique way. as only Bro. Herrell can,
striking sin some tremendous blows.
How the people did shout and praise
God for the marvellous presentation of
truth! The sermon was followed by a
real good after service.
Saturday morning the convention
was opened at $50 with a prayer and
testimony service. Following this
Bro. Herrell read paper on the re-
lation of Home Missions to Foreign
Missions. This paper was full of in
terest.
The writer had charge of the SER
vices Saturday afternoon, Saturday
evening and Sunday morning at ll:30;
the subjects being, Penticost and
Missions, India and Her People, and
The Work of the Nazarene Church in
Western India, respectively. Saturday
evening at the close we asked those
who would offer themselves for active
service in either the home or foreign
field according as God may call them,
to come to the altar. Several came
forward and we had good altar SER
vice. There was good congregation
on Sunday morning and the people
gave good attention and hearty
response TO the message.
Mrs. Campbell had charge of the
service in the afternoon. She told Of
her experience with work among the
women of India. She opened with a
solo, 81 have given up all for Jesus"
which brought many tears and shouts
from the people. She also told OF
Gods special care in times of testing,
and how doors had been opened for
taking the gospel into the homes of
people in India. The Lord honored
the message and the congregation was
deeply moved. Some lasting impress
ions were made. and the missionary
spirit greatly stirred.
The convention closed Sunday even
ing with a stirring evangelistic sermon
by Bro. Newton Kendel. 1t was a
very searching sermon and was at
tended by deep conviction. From the
scathing denunciation of sin, no one
doubted that the preacher was dead
to public sentiment. At the altar call
several persons came forward, some
seeking pardon, some sanctificaton,
and some healing of their bodies.
Several received the blessing they
were seeking.
There were in all ten professions
during the convention, of pardon and
Notification.
There was collection taken both
for Home and for Foreign Missions.
The proceeds of the former was
turned over 10 the writer, and that OF
the latter is TO be sent by the treas.
urer to Mrs. F.. w. Perry Buldana,
