The Rev. W. K Fetwel said that told TO
partcuariZe in prayers, and he had been thinking
about the conductors and drivers He had offered
some tracts to a conductor and Instead Of being re-
pulsed had been kindly received. He asked that all
would JOIN in a prayer for these poor, hardworked
class of men. They were often more slnned against
| than SHINING.


Mr. Moody in reply, said that the work here this
week must be devoted to ourselves that may have
the grace and power go with the good work with
a proper spirit Next week will devote ourselves to
when polite TO these men they are always kind
and polite in return that good way to begin TO pray
for them is TO treat them politely.


Another hymn was sung, and promptly at ntnc
