THE week of prayer was an occasion long to be remembered. In harmony with the suggestion of the General Conference, sometime before the beginning of the week of prayer service the consecrated young men met in one place, the young ladies in another, and the members of the faculty in still another, to present their supplications and prayers to our Heavenly Father for his blessing; and he heard and answered those prayers. The Spirit of the Lord came into our meetings, and they were seasons of refreshing. On one occasion every heart in the congregation was touched. Forty came forward, confessed their sins, and consecrated themselves to the Lord’s service. Many of them had never made any profession before, and they had good experiences. It was a wonderful meeting, and the effect upon our school is very noticeable. To the Lord belongs all the glory. A short time after the meeting sixteen souls were buried with their Lord in baptism, and a number of others hope soon to go forward in the ordinance.
