HER APPEAL. HER POWER

when she asked him why the vacant
section he replied:
1T is saved for the deaf and the
blind"
And she replied
1t won't do to have them there this
afternoon l want to save souls-not
heal"
She directed the usher to fill the sec
ton. but he didn't understand her. and
she murmured half to herself and half
to others standing around
I'm 60 down and fill it myself" and
! she went down; opened the section for
| occupancy and played usher until she
had gotten that section filled. Return
ing to the pulpit she stopped the music
and spoke to the audience for the first
, time
How many here know that the
Blood of Jesus Christ will save you
from all sin? Hold up your hands"
And up went about three thousand

she had finished. she made an appeal
for all those who were sinners and
wanted to be saved to hold up their
hands. Without doubt, one thousand
hands went up She then asked them
to stand and the entire thousand stood
She then asked them to come forward
and kneel at the altar and they came

They knelt In rows all around the
rostrum: all over the rosrum and
