By H. W. COTTRELL

THE meetings in South Lancaster during the week of prayer have been excellent and well attended. The readings were given each week-day evening at the church, and to the students each morning at the chapel hour. The deepest interest has been manifested in the readings. A number who had been much discouraged were reclaimed. There was no excitement, but the Spirit of the Lord moved upon every heart. The donations were more than twice as large as the annual offering of last year.

Our meeting the last Sabbath was an especially good one. The students met with the church, and nearly the entire congregation publicly signified their intention to surrender all to God, and consecrate anew their lives to active service for him. In reply to the question how many there were in the vigor of youth or middle life who were prepared to consecrate themselves to the Lord to go anywhere in the wide world that he might call them in his service, not less than one hundred arose.

I am free to say that I have enjoyed the meetings more than any week-of-prayer meetings I ever attended.
