THE following item of interest appeared in the Missionary News Letter of April 12: “Counting converts as some people count them, there would have been quite a glowing report of the meeting held by Elder Franke in the Auditorium of the Odd Fellows’ Hall, Philadelphia, one week last Sunday night, when out of an audience of approximately one thousand people about one hundred and fifty persons arose or raised their hands requesting special prayers. As a result of the meetings held thus far there have been a number of apparently genuine conversions, and several persons have told Brother Franke they are keeping the seventh-day Sabbath, and have asked him to baptize them. One of these writes as follows: ‘I am glad to tell you I am happy in the Lord. The first Sabbath I am keeping is the best, the happiest, and the sweetest one in seven years. Brother Franke, I feel as if tons of weight had been lifted from me. I can praise the Lord now for his goodness and his love. Over fifteen years I have been under this burden. I praise God that he has sent you to this city to free me. I give God all the praise.’ Elder Franke has recently received some letters of encouragement and commendation. One of these is from a Baptist minister, and another is from a physician who exhorts him for the Lord’s sake to go on with the good work.”
