A Week of Prayer in Mountain View

C. M. Snow, of the Review editorial staff, spent the last two weeks in several of the cities of the East, looking up illustrations for his forthcoming book, "Religious Liberty in America," which will come from the press in the course of several weeks.

In the Pacific Union Recorder, Brother B. M. Shull says this of the good week of prayer meetings held with the Mountain View, Cal., church:—

"The Lord came especially near on the first Sabbath of the week of prayer; and in a consecration service, which was conducted by Elder M. C. Wilcox, a large number gave their hearts to God—many for the first time—and came forward for prayer. It was one of the most impressive meetings ever held in this church. There was no excitement nor spasmodic effort, but the deep moving of the Spirit of God was felt by all. The same spirit that pervaded the first meeting has been with us during the week; and we have realized the Lord's presence both at our meetings at the church and in our morning meetings at the Pacific Press, where nearly every one gladly consecrated himself anew to God. Many determined to put away their idols, and jewelry and other foolish adornments were laid upon the altar. Last Sabbath seven persons were buried with their Lord in baptism and others have expressed a desire to be baptized later on. The offerings for foreign missions amount to $415.30 to date, but there is more coming."
