lieutenant told me afterwards that the Adjutant had spent the previous
night in prayer about this effort.'

At another corps she borrowed several firemen's helmets to be used in the
Sunday's meetings, presumably to draw attention to sin as a fire, a
destroyer. She impressed upon the brothers who were to wear the helmets,
that unless the effort were made earnestly, it would be a farce. The men

At Coventry she was faced with an unusual difficulty. The hall was

available for the winter months was the Public Baths, and this was
required for many purposes.

'The committee can't let you have it,' she was told. 'Well, God can, and
