8 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. This is the first Baptist church west of New Orleans on the Southern Pa cific railroad, a distance of 140 miles.

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.” or more are Roman Catholics.

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.” Edwin Ginn, the late Boston pub lisher, endowed his “world’s peace foundation” with a fund of $1,000,000. Thomas A.
