We know that appearances are rr often deceptive, but any rational person could not help being ^ deeply and favorably impressed with these indefatigable workers tor God. Many precious souls, through the instrumentality and ( t influence of the Crusaders, have 1,1 boen brought to Christ, and it is more than probable that, err: ) tho^e services come to a close. c' many more will come out on the Lord's side. Although the meet- ^ tngs have been fairly well atten V led, still, the congregations l' should I)** vastly larrrer and " " h j more regular.
