The series of tent evangelistic meet ings undertaken by the Christian En deavor Societies of Los Angeles county were crowned with remarkable success. Although the meetings lasted but one week in a district, the conversions would probably average 75 a week, a large portion of the converts being young people. The depth of the work is largely due to the fact that two young evangelists of ieal consecration were employed in the work, namely Harlow W. Parsons and Harry W. vom Bruch. Mr. Parsons is a graduate of'the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, and had the privilege of going around the world with Torrey and Alexander as one of the party.
