E. L. CARDEY

By E. L. Cardey

One blessed experience we have had here that is different than any we have had elsewhere,—in nearly every case husband and wife accepted the truth together. Nine have gained the victory over the use of tobacco, some having used it for thirty-five years. Two almost hopeless drunkards and infidels have taken the Lord into their lives, and are trusting in him for victory.

One brother, whose wife began to keep the Sabbath several weeks ago, has been under conviction for some time. He came to the place where he thought God had left him. Satan so worked upon him that he was almost ready to take his own life. I called the church together one night after the meeting for special prayer for him and some others. The next morning, while he was trying to find some comfort from the Bible, the Spirit of God rolled back the dark clouds, and sweet peace came into his heart. It was not till evening that I saw him, as he was coming to the tent—and what a different countenance he had!

At present I am engaged in a tent effort in Santa Ana, three miles from Orange. I have a company of workers with me, and a tent that will seat five hundred persons. The attendance has been good this first week, there being from two hundred fifty to four hundred fifty each night. We are in the closing time of this message, and the people are ready for light. O, that we were in the place that we should be! then would God now—even now—do a work in soul-saving such as we have never dreamed of.
