NEWS FROM THE WORKERS
Some very wonderful manifestations
of answered prayer have been accord
ed us since our daily prayer meeting,
Friday, January 19th. Early i n the
history of the meetings a man came
to my office door just as I was going
into the prayer meeting room. He in
troduced himself and said: “My
mother is very sick with pneumonia
at Miss., and I have come
down to ask you to - pray for her.” I
said, “i am very glad you came—will
you stay to the meeting.” “Yes,” he
replied. I then said. “Are vou a
Christian?” “No.” he said and ihs
eyes filled with tears. All through
this meeting he wept and when the op
portunity was given for the unsaved
to request interest in prayer he was
the first and when the opportunity
was given to confess Christ he was the
first. As the people passed by shaking
hands he held his handkerchief in his
left hand wiping the tears from his
eyes while shaking hands with the
right.
DR. RAY PALMER AT LAFAY
ETTE. ALA.
Our meetings which began Febru
ary 15th, came to a close March 4th.
Dr. Ray Palmer of the Evangelistic
force of the Home Mission Board, did
the preaching. We had many obsta
cles to contend with. The Mardi Gras
season, a season of revelry and pleas
ure in South Louisiana, some rain,
a snow storm, the first in fifteen
years, the light plant undergoing re
pairs. leaving the streets dark at
night; these all had some effect on
the meeting. Yet the Lord gave us
a great victory.
Dr. Palmer’s preaching is scriptu
ral. logical, and convincing. He is
earnest in his presentation of the
truth, and uncompormising in his de
nunciation of sin.
We had splendid congregations
throughout the meeting. There were
ten accessions by baptism and ten by
letter. Nine converts of Methodist
persuasion went to that church. Some
friends of the Presbyterian and Meth
odist churches rendered valuable ser
vices during the meeting, for which we
feel grateful.
Dr. and Mrs. Palmer endeared them
selves very much to the people of La
fayette. They go from here to take
part in the campaign in New Orleans.
May God’s richest blessings be upon
them.
Our offering to the Home Board
was slls.

ANSWERED PRAYER
By BEN COX.
THE GOLDEN AGE FOR WEEK OF MARCH 19, 1914
A few days later he came to me
with the good news that his mother
was improving rapidly. He has been
coming almost every day to the meet
ings and one day said: “I feel very
much like the little boy who killed
two birds with one stone, I came down
here to ask you to pray for my mother,
she got well and I found Jesus in the
first meeting.” Shortly after his pro
fession he was received into our fel
lowship and baptized and is very faith
ful in his attendance, especially at the
noon-day meeting.
Last Friday morning he came into
the office with a letter from his moth
er expressing great rejoicing that her
son had found Jesus and had taken
a stand for Him. When he brought in
this letter he made this remarkable
statement: “The morning I came to
church to ask you to pray for my
mother was the first time f had been
inside of a church in twenty years.”

DR. C. A. RIDLEY AT CUMBERLAND
COLLEGE.
We have just learned of really a
great meeting of twelve days conduct
ed by Rev. C. A. Ridley at Williams
burg, Ky., the seat of Cumberland Col
lege. Dr. Ridley spoke twice a day
in the First Baptist Church and once
each day at the College. More than
fifty of the young men and women
from this great mountain school were
saved during the meeting. It was
beautiful to see President Wood and
many of the professors go out among
the students and tell them of Jesus.
Dr. Ridley was frank to admit that this
personal touch had more to do with
winning the college to Christ than did
his preaching. So impressed was he
with the spirit of the Institution that
he has announced his intention of
sending his daughter there to college.
Dr. E. F. Wright is pastor of the
First Baptist Church. It is a won
derful church. During last year it
paid out more than eighty thousand
dollars for the work of the kingdom.
They gave the evangelist twenty-five
dollars per day and all expenses.
On the closing night of the meeting
after more than a hundred had pro
fessed conversion, President Wood of
the college arose to speak for the
Church. Among other things he said:
“Dr. Ridley is unlike any other man
w T e have ever had in a series of meet
ings. At first we were just abit scar
ed of him; but soon we came to rea
lize that he was God’s man with a
message. In the first place, he is
himself, unique and original. He im
itates no man. In the second place
he loves God and is loyal to his Book.
In the third place, he loves men with
a love close akin to passion. He is
decidedly a man’s preacher. He has
not sounded one false note since he
began here twelve days ago and neith
er the church nor the college will expe
rience any reflex influence from his
preaching. The town has heard him
as it has heard no man we have ever
had.”
