Week of Prayer at Battle Creek College
THE Week of Prayer in Battle Creek College was a season of refreshing among the students. A number of intensely interesting meetings were held. There was no excitement whatever, but a heart-yearning for a deeper knowledge of the things of God. Wednesday morning nearly seventy signified their willingness to spend four days in actual missionary work. The young people divided into companies of from two to eight, and started out in various directions. Many of those going to neighboring towns walked, and as they went they sang songs of praise and lifted their hearts in prayer. The weather was bitterly cold, but this did not hinder the work. Several young men visited Lansing, and reported wonderful manifestations of the leadings of God. A company spent some time in the jail at Marshall, and on their return said it seemed to them as if they never sang with such spirit as when surrounded by iron bars and facing a company of prisoners. The seventy who returned to Christ with joy surely reported no richer experience than that of those students whose voices were heard in the college chapel on their return.
