We stepped up and in vited him to give himself to the Saviour, but he refused. His wife pleaded with him with tears in her eyes, and still he refused and would not yield. His little boy came to the mother crying and said, “Hasn’t papa got a home in heaven ?” It seemed as though all the forces of hell were up in arms and holding him back. That night he came again, but the desire to be a Christian had left him, and with a sad face he said, “I believe this morning was my last chance,” and no amount of prayer or pleading could change his mind. Pray for this man that God’s Spirit will once again strive with him and lead him to accept Jesus Christ as his Saviour. turbances have been but few, and only oc casioned by some fellow who wants to know “where hell is” or why “God doesn’t kill the devil.” The street music is quite a feature, and quite a good number of women are often seen at the open-air meeting.
