The Revival Meetings. The Tabernacle of the Christian Crusaders Crowded Nightly with Persons Seek- I ing the Salvation of their; Souls?Wednesday Night's , Remarkable Meeting, when ' Sixty-five Testified for God. i J i The meetings conlucted by ; ^ the Chrisfi mi Crusaders, in their n Gospel Tabernacle, are still in a creasing in interest and power. [ The waves of salvation are ris ' ing liigh and higher, and the 8 tide is setting in toward God,M more and more. Many are fall ^ ing before the power and greatness of these on coming waves, C but are arising in newness of t life, with their sins all washed f away in Jesus' blood and with c the "new song" upon their lips. Thorough heart searching and c cool, deliberate decision lor Christ h ive characterized lhose c individual professions of religion. v Prayers are ascending to God's ? throne Irom sincere and honest r hearts, for the salvation of I lriends and loved ones, and it is I reasonable to suppose, yea, to 8 firmly believe that, a still larger f in gathering of souls will be the P lesult of this faithfulness in the a ministry of prayer. . 1 The meetings lor the past 8 three nights have been exceed- e ingly well atteuded and an in- 6 creased interest and spiritual t advancement noticed in ail part6 1 pf the services. The testimonial 8 services are still given a prom- 1 inent place, and the words 1 spoken by those who have la'ely ' found the Lord, and also by (hose * who have been longer in the * Christian way, are being gru- v ciously used of God for the fur- a theranoe of His kingdom. May ^ there be a revival of the "old time" experience meetings, covenant meetings, and class , lilAp'iinTH not onlv in [.incoatpr ? J ? bin aN'i in every nook corner <?l ( God's vineyard. \ On Monday night, one who ' has recently been brought 5o * Chris', said: "I labored ior ten . days before I b'cime converted. , I would pray at home, 1 would t go to mv room and prav. 1 could * not afford to co ne to the altar, I 0 was a member ol the church. 1 I 1 could get down on my knees in ( my own room and in o!her places and offer a prayer t > God, J and that would do just as well.and 1 no one won! 1 see me It seemed 1 to me that I could gel near the! place where I could leel that , God had forgiven me, Gut some ' | filing seemed to stand in mv ' way. Th -s n usages of scripture i | came in in in nd, 'enter ve in at the straight frate', and, lie that ciimbetli up Borno other way is ! lie same as a j thief Mid a robber 1 lound tha' i I was ti*v.ii4 t s'i-a ;a way info God's favor without letiincH anv oil > kn iw about it, but I hud j to show to ho w >rld by rom ng ; to i-lie alt. m*. jut where I stood. I did that and then 1 had no L trouble. That s 'ttled the <jues- i ' tion " One, in whoso heart the ' 1 love of Ood ha' recently been ] stied abroad, spoke thus, to 111 h , ( priory, and his words show Irs determination, not as some say! he will do, to turn hack, but to press onward, 41 rejoice that I know I he peace ot God in in m\ heart. I am resolved to go I' r ward, undaunted hy temptation and criticism. 1 will not falter, hut will go on in the narrow way until 1 reach IIoav.Mi." God's power to save has been naniested in a wonderful, nighty manner during the after neetings. Those who have never cnown Christ are being brought nto the kingdom of God, those whose hearts have grown cold ire heing restored to llis favor. md are again experiencing the >eace and joy of Ilis salvation. Mothers' prayers are being anvvered aijd unsaved sons and laughters are coming home to *od. On Monday night lour sought Dhrist at the altar, and three of he number professed to have ound Him as a personal Savior; in Tuesday night eight came or ward and six received evidence >1 sins forgiven. On Wednesday night the rowning victory of all precious 'ictories was gained. God's Jpirit was manifested in such nighty power, on that occasion, hat a deep feeling of awe and everance rested upon the entire issemblage. Sixty-five persons elt constrained, through God's joodnoss and mercy to them, _ J * - .it _ 1 . A I urn io omers hugui inem, to )ear testimony to His saving ind keeping power. The piece 'ntitled "Shall you shall I" was ung as a duet, at the turn of he meeting, and many were led >y the Holy Spirit to ask themlelves the questions, "Shall I >e one who will enter through he pearly gates into the heaveny Jerusalem, or will I be one vho will be eternally lost in Jell?" The altar was soon filled vith earnest seekers. Some wept md prayed aloud lor salvation. STot only did the mercy drops all upon these seeking souls, >ut showers ol blessings came, md soon twelve of the fourteen aIio knelt at the altar, received he clear evidence of their accep ;anee itt?
