T AT E do not know of a greater blessing " * that could have come to The Biola Club, its workers and friends, than the all- night prayer meeting held recently. God wonderfully blessed us, and we give Him all the praise. At 7:30 we gathered for our regular meeting and had a splendid time. Then at 9:30 Rev. Mr: Gottberg, formerly of the Moody Bible Institute, spoke to us on the Conditions of Prayer, after which the meet ing was turned over to the Holy Spirit, and how God did speak to u s ! Many lives, were straightened out, and men got on praying ground. At 12:30 a. m., a man who/was under the influence of liquor stag gered in. We gave him a seat and com menced praying that God would sober and save him. Prayer after prayer ascended to our Father for the work of our Club and the Institute, and then we closed for a brief season of rest and fresh air. After half an hour we took up the Old Book and drew some practical lessons out of it, and again united our hearts in fer vent prayer for the work and the workers, and that God might send in some one witlj whom we might deal. God wonderfully answered, and in less than half an hour there were eight unsaved young men in the room. We prayed for.their salvation, then promptly turned it into a praise and testi mony meeting, and gave the invitation. Praise God, it was all in answer to prayer. One»young man, the first to make the deci
sion, came forward in the face of the sneers and jeers of his crowd. Then another came, and we prayed with them, but the other fellows left. Having prayed with the two men, they went out also but promptly came back, with the old. bunch and one other. It was a blessed privilege to /leal with these fellows and to see the mighty convictiori of God and of sin writ ten upon their faces, and to see their argu ments fall to the ground before the power of the Word of God. In the meantime God was answering our prayers for the first man who came in, and by the personal touch we were able to win him to our blessed Saviour. This is whajt he said: “I sure do appreciate what you fellows have done for me, and I want to do what I can to be of help to you. You have saved me from a periodical spree and have saved me the $100 in my pocket which I would have spent.” He went out and went to work a happy man. Does it pay ? We did have a blessed time in thanking the Lord for His answers to prayer, and at 6 a. m. we all joined hands (thirteen of us) and sang, “Blest be the Tie That Binds,” and it meant some thing, too. We are expecting great-things from God this month, and are attempting great things for Him. We need your prayers as never before, as we are pressing forward in the work which He has given us to do.
