hest terms of praise
of the school and the good which is being done. A lady said to me the
other day it was easy to recognize "Lincoln Academy" students for their
good behavior and their manners. What a blessing to have such faithful
helpers to lead them. As a result we need not wonder that parents
sometimes send spoiled and wayward children for training, while others,
knowing of the good influence brought to bear upon the children, deny
themselves in every possible way that they may send their sons and
daughters that they may be fitted for future life in the world which they
have soon to face.

A GRACIOUS REVIVAL.--Rev. Mr. Wharton, writes from Atlanta, Ga.: "The Lord
has graciously blessed His work here, and the Gospel is still the power of
God unto salvation. I have held services at Storrs School, Atlanta
University, and the First Congregational Church, and during the last

Storrs and also of the University have been reached and have decided for
Christ, the future teachers and fathers and mothers of the next
generation, who will come to the front, maybe, when we are silent in the
grave. The beauty of this work is, it does not stop with the converts, but
dark homes and hearts are going to be reached, superstition is going to

also friends being converted. Truly 'God has done great things for us
whereof we are glad.' I go next to Selma, Ala., for Sunday. I would be
thankful of your prayers for Selma."

GOOD RESULTS OF NOON PRAYER-MEETINGS.--A teacher from Helena, Ark.,
writes: "We suggested to the Christians among our pupils that they meet in
the chapel at noon recess each day for a prayer meeting, in the hope of
bringing the unconverted members of our school to Christ. The suggestion
was carried out by them and the blessing came abundantly. The result of
these meetings has been the conversion of 25 of the 28 of our pupils who
were not Christians. I have learned one lesson, that we must prepare for
the outpouring of the spirit, and then expect great things."

FROM TENNESSEE.--Home again. Shall we all meet again? O, must some parts
of the work be dropped and other parts be crippled by the debt? This will
not be so if all our memb
