I trust that we were duly impressed with a
sense of the obligation incurred by thus confessing to the truth and
importance of those themes, and by coming with them to the Lord.
Those members of church who, unhindered by other things, come to
meeting in stormy weather are more clear in their testimony that it
pays, in direct returns of spiritual strength and joy in the
fellowship of Christ.

The spirit of our meetings at the close was just such as warrants a
continuance of effort, but the winter has been unusually cold and,
unlike the custom North, it would be an extraordinary excitement
which would secure a general interest and attendance now.

SAVANNAH, GA.--The week of prayer was a spiritual feast to those who
attended the meetings, held each night in the Congregational Church,
and the results still continue to appear. Topics assigned by the
Alliance followed.

To our church the week of prayer was largely a season of review, the
whole cycle of blessings, needs and hopes passing in prayerful
review. The meeting for thanksgiving, on Monday night, was a goodly
remembrance of special blessings during the past year, and the
exercises were chiefly supplications, experiences and rejoicings of
those who one year ago had no Christian hope. By count, more than
one-half of the persons present were, as one said, only "yearlings."
The ready use of Bible promises at this meeting measured well the
value of our special missionary's Bible work. Two mothers, each with
her family about her, testified in word and deed that the one year of
Christian life had created home forces and blessings of infinite
worth. The time of confession and consecration lasted the whole week,
and proofs of genuineness are not wanting. Said one: "The new year
shall not be so dull as the old one." Another: "The new year I give
_all_ to my Master, Jesus." And kindred promises were frequent and
fervent.

Results of week of prayer: Church much encouraged and quickened, new
consecration to work, one convert, a number of interested souls, but
chiefly the quickened desire for growth of individuals in all that
makes Christian character; and, more than all, the growth of
missionary spirit shown in the earnest prayers for the conversion of
the world to Christ.

At the close of the "Missionary night" meeting, one of the oldest
members of the Church called at the pastor's study and asked for the
