Buena Vista Academy

By C. D. TERWILLEGAR

The week of prayer at the Buena Vista Academy was a season of refreshing for the church members and the students of our school. For some time previously the students and others were reminded of its approach, and our weekly Friday evening meetings became seasons of deeper and more earnest consecration.
Elder F. W. Johnston met with the school the first half of the period, and his labors were much appreciated because of the spiritual benefit received. One night of the week the students and faculty divided into bands and met at different homes in the neighborhood.
As the reading and preaching services continued, I think no heart remained untouched; and on the last Sabbath the interest of the students and faculty was manifested by an offering for the foreign fields amounting to $104.56. This was a source of encouragement to all who had been watching the growth of the Twenty-cent-a-week Fund for this part of the field the past year.
Since the special prayer season a number of new students have been enrolled, and they also have entered into the spirit of the work. C. D. TERWILLEGAR.
