Superintendent for two years had led the most dissolute life one could think of gives every evidence .of having found Jesus Christ his Deliverer and Keeper. T he Stimson Sunday School,, composed of bootblacks and newsboys, has had a good attendance and the boys are all doing good work in committing Scripture vepesibiMr. Mullen’s Street Meetings are growing ,in attendance and hundreds of men 'are-hear­ ing the Gospel message who would probably .never hear it from any other source.
