I also wish to inform you o f the fact that Mr. S. sent me a book (that Gospel o f Matthew) which you presented him, and the hook is very interesting and I heartily read it and study it- during my leisure time.

W e praise God for the l way He has honored the work. The first meeting was held at the corner o f Macy and Howard streets, an industrial section, and one o f the toughest districts o f the city. From the beginning there was opposition. The meetings had not been under way long when our lives were threatened by an emissary o f Satan— threatened to that extent that the special officer o f the district was called to disarm the disturber. W e felt a little more at ease after the officer brought over to the tent the big seven-shooter that had been pointed at some of our workers; yet during all the tim e-of persecution we were conscious o f the protecting cafe o f Him who stands by His own. A fter continued prayer, the opposition subsided and interest in the meetings increased. Among the many converted was an Italian, whose wife two years before was gloriously converted, being one o f our regu lar attendants and most consecrated work ers.

He is now doing splendid work in a mission near by. Later the tent was located at Forty-sixth street and Moneta avenue, where an inter esting series o f meetings was held. One evening at the close o f the service a Catho lic woman came forward and said, “ I f -you believe in prayer, for God’s sake pray for my boy, who is in the County Hospital with a bullet wound in his leg.” She then told us how she had requested her priest to go, and he had said he would do it for $5. A fter listening to her story we opened the -Word o f God and she accepted the grace and mercy o f Jesus Christ. One of our workers visited the hospital, dealt with her boy and led him to Christ, and since his conversion he in turn, b y the Holy Spirit and with the co-operation o f work ers, has led four others to the Saviour. He is fast recovering from his affliction. W e had another very bright conversion at this place—a young woman saved from a wayward life.. While there were many other conversions, this one was so marked and so pronounced, as evidenced by her changed life, her testimony, her shining countenance, that she is the cause o f general
