people who understand the plan of salvation. Things are fully
explained here that have been plain to me for years--things that I
dared not mention publicly lest I be thought fanatical."

On their return home Mrs. Worthington said: "It must have been in answer
to prayer that Sister Moore let me see that paper. I have prayed for
many years that God would help me to find a people who were not afraid
to preach his whole Word. I believe we have found them. Who knows but

Christian experience.

Mrs. Worthington felt now that her cup of joy was full since she could
hear the way of salvation and the true church explained from the pulpit
just as God had revealed them to her. She was also glad that Bessie, who
was now old enough to understand deep spiritual truths for herself, was
in perfect harmony and fellowship with her.

About forty souls were saved in the meetings; some gained the experience
of sanctification; and the Spirit of the Lord worke
