to go with me next Sunday."

Saturday evening, June 2d, it was my privilege to meet with the Mossy
Grove Christian Endeavor Society. About forty-five young people were
present and took a hearty part in the meeting--quite a number joined in
prayer during the twenty minutes' prayer service. This service was all
the more interesting because a work of our planting, and from a very
small beginning has grown and is full of Christian earnestness.

This was the home of the "unfortunate man" I had found as I went through
the mountains. It was my privilege to look into that man's face and note
the change that had come to him. In the Sunday-school I was teacher of
his class. He seemed interested in the lesson and showed evidence of
being a changed man. As I preached of the "sprinkled blood" he somehow
appreciated all the more how he had been rescued. In the house-to-house
work among this people I found many encouraging results and think our
work there will develop until we have a church organization.

In one county I found a number of people off by themselves in a little
nook of a valley, but not over two miles from Sunday-school and church,
yet not attending. As I went into their homes and talked about their
opportunities and duties, many promises were given that the future would
find them more active for themselves and children. One man who had not
been in Sunday-school for four years made a humble confession, and
pledged that he would go to work. He spoke of his early life with its
Christian activities, and now when he has a family he has neglected to
take them and go to the house of God. So many men are waiting for
somebody to lead them to their duty--they see it and know it--but have
not moral courage to go forward unless encouraged in some special way.
