A Great Refreshing

MANY hearts are rejoicing in Battle Creek. The week of prayer brought a wonderful blessing to this church. For three weeks a series of Bible studies had been conducted, and the Sabbath services had been specially helpful. During the week of prayer there was a steady and growing interest, and many seeking souls found experiences of much blessing. Last Sabbath was a time of great refreshing. The morning service continued until one o'clock, and nearly two hundred persons of all ages came to the altar, and found forgiveness of sin. Many of these were starting in the Christian life for the first time. It was the most powerful meeting known in Battle Creek for many years. All hearts were quickened. In the afternoon service hundreds testified to a new experience. We regard it as the beginning of the latter rain. We earnestly hope that many other churches and companies had the same experience. Let us hear about it.
