bition, not to listen to
the divine call, and obstacles had hedged his way somewhat. After I
requested your prayers in his behalf, this temptation was removed, and
nearly one hundred persons were converted in the church which was under
his care."

A GRATEFUL TRIBUTE.

"For a long time I have been the subject of personal affliction, caused
by _two internal tumors_ of the _worst type_. Speedy death seemed
inevitable; yet there was a little hope that a surgical operation might
possibly remove the difficulty and prolong my day. To this hope I clung,
submitted to the operation, and it was a success. To the earnest prayers
of Christian people is due this grateful acknowledgment."

WAS A PERFECT SLAVE TO LIQUOR.

"Please return _thanks_ to our kind Heavenly Father for this answer to
prayer. All last Winter requests were sent in for a gentleman, a perfect
slave to liquor. Those prayers were answered, and he is attending church
regularly, striving to do what is right to please his Heavenly Master."

ALWAYS ANSWERED.

"Several times in years past I have asked for the prayers of this
meeting, and always found them answered."

CURED OF EPILEPSY.

"I wrote you to aid me by your prayers, that my afflicted son, who was

Father, he is better."

ALMOST LOST.

"Your prayers and mine for my son have been answered. He was almost

contract of $1,200 a year. Praise the Lord."

A BOUNTIFUL BLESSING.

"Some time ago I solicited your prayers for a blessing on my services,
and _never, in all my life_ before have I been blessed as since that
time. 'Tis truly wonderful; it has seemed as if I must have become some
one else, and that it could not longer be me speaking with such
boldness, and apparent success. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that
is within me, bless his holy name."

SAVED FROM THE COMPANY OF A BAD LOVER.

"A week ago I begged you to pray for my daughter, who had given her
