The Week of Prayer in Our Schools

By H. R. S.

SINCE the week of prayer, reports from our schools have been coming to me, full of rejoicing because of the victories which were won for Christ in the lives of the students. Prof. O. J. Graf writes:—
“I am sure you will be interested to know that the week of prayer has proved one of the best weeks we have ever had in the history of the school. All the students in the dormitories except one have taken their stand on the Lord’s side, and in the entire school there were only four who did not decide for Christ. We are surely thankful for this. Wednesday night practically every one in the room made a complete surrender to the Lord. Our week of prayer closed with great power.”
In a letter, Prof. M. E. Cady says: “I divided the week of prayer season between two of our intermediate schools—Thatuna Academy and North Yakima Valley Intermediate School. We had excellent meetings, and the Lord came in and blessed abundantly, many yielding their hearts to the Lord for the first time. I hear good reports throughout the Northwest, from the week of prayer. I believe that everywhere in the world our people are feeling the need of drawing nearer to the Lord, and of having a deeper Christian experience than ever before; for it is needed in the finishing of the work.”
From Union College comes this encouraging report, through Brother Meade MacGuire: “Doubtless you have heard from Union College, where I spent the week of prayer. The Lord certainly worked many miracles upon the hearts of those who had long resisted his grace. Some way I feel that there is a general spiritual awakening among our schools.”
