stitutions under
the American Missionary Association will never be known this side of
eternity, and wherever I have gone I have found the people speaking in
the highest terms of praise of the efforts which are being put forth
to help raise the standard already attained.

During the last winter I have visited and held revival services at
Dudley and Raleigh, N. C.; Hampton, Va.; Howard University,
Washington, D. C.; Oaks and Hillsboro, N. C.; Athens and Thomasville,
Ga.; High Point, N. C.; and at each place the ministers and teachers
of the schools have worked admirably, with the result that the
churches have been quickened and scores of the most promising young
people of both sexes from different parts of the States have been led
to trust in Jesus as their Saviour and to commence a new life for Him.
It has been a great joy to me on returning to places formerly visited
to find after years of absence the converts going on still in the
"good way," witnessing for Christ and working for the welfare of
others, and, in many cases, settled for life in comfortable
frame-built houses where once it was the one-roomed log cabin with its
evil influences. In spite of the distress so keenly felt by everyone,
the past year has been one of unusual interest and revival. The old
idea, of visions, dreams and voices being necessary to a person's
assurance of his acceptance of God, seems to be yielding to a more
perfect and Scriptural way: "Thus saith the Lord."

converts was a Mrs. T., who had been a seeker for thirty-three years.
While listening to an address on Ex. xii Chap. 13 v., "He sprinkled
blood," the light she had been so long looking for began to dawn upon
her soul, and before the address closed she was rejoicing in God's
wondrous love. She could scarcely keep her seat for joy; she arose to
testify that God had saved her that night. Her testimony caused
considerable rejoicing, as she was well known to all as a "long-time
mourner."

HOWARD UNIVERSITY.

At the invitation of Dr. Rankin, the Evangelist and Pastor Brown held
a ten days' mission, resulting in some good cases of conversion, two
brothers being among the number, the sons of a Methodist minister, one
studying to become a doctor and the other a pharmacist.

HAMPTON, VA.

During the week of prayer we felt a deep wa
