faith ui Christ in their homes, ;l
and not a few Christians have K{
s'at-'d. both in public and pri- \v
v ite, that through these services jr
they have been brought into a at
more blessed state of spirituality. ?.
Many more unsaved ones are al- |,;
most persuaded to yield to the |,,
wooinjrs of the Spirit. ''Not by t\
miidit. nor by power," have these >,
results been brought about, "but |,
by God's Spirit," and all the ||
glory is given to God. j,
O :e of the most important b
fea ures of toe mee'ings ot the h
Crusaders, and a very blessed a
and beneficial exercise, is the Ir
testimonial service, which has b
for years been proven to he a I m
source of much spiritual develop- a'
inent. Marked progress is being w
made by t ho ('hristians ot Lin- M
castor in this direction, and !
some are testifying tor Christ in w
these meetings who have never |
before borne public testimony to;sl
God's saving and keeping power. (1
The yomm converts are advised !j
to avail 1 hcinselves of every op-i()
