Week-of-Prayer Notes

By CHAS. THOMPSON.; S. H. LANE.

From the Southern Illinois Conference

I ENJOYED some good meetings during the week of prayer. At Noble the Lord blessed us greatly. Three of the young people united with the church, one back-slider was reclaimed, and four are awaiting baptism.

I am now near Danville assisting Elder Stanley in a series of meetings. We are having a good interest. Two families have taken a stand for the truth, and others are much interested.

THE week of prayer was a season long to be remembered by the New York Conference. The readings were highly appreciated, and the social meetings were soul-stirring, plainly indicating that hearts had been moved by the spirit breathed forth in the readings. In some instances confessions were made, estranged hearts united, and the churches revived.

Our annual offerings in the conference in 1903 exceeded those of 1902, and according to present indications the offerings of 1904 will greatly exceed 1903.

We trust the eighty thousand dollar point will be reached, from the fact that the greater the amount of means raised and properly expended, the more rapid will be the advancement of the message, which is certainly destined to ripen up earth's harvest, and garner precious souls into the soon-coming kingdom.

The Southern Watchman says of the week of prayer at Nashville, Tenn.:—

“The week of prayer was a great blessing to the Nashville church. The Spirit of the Lord was present in all our meetings. Sinners were converted, and believers strengthened and encouraged. The offering for foreign missions at the close of the week was generous, when it is considered that the church is not large, and that it has no wealthy members. The whole amount was about one hundred and fifty dollars, half in cash and half in pledges. May our offerings accomplish great good in the Master’s service.”
