GREAT MEETINGS IN ELGIN
Editors Obrerver:
Believing that many will be interested
and that Cod's Kingdom will be advanced
by the report, I tell a f e v things about
the five weeks ofpecial work in the Chris
tian Church 'of Elein.
A series of r. eetin. s in wh:ch seventy
tnree united with the congregrtion, sixty
five turning to God confessing Christ and
being baptised is certain'yof enough im
portance to have a somewhat full report.
Members of the Elgin congregation had
been praying earnestly for a good meet
ing, the regular Sunday and mid week
services had been well attended and faith
ful men and women had been striving to
live the gospel.
ii . ,
nonce a nne oana was ready tor a
blessing.
The meeting was marked by deep hu
manity, seriousness and prayerfullness up
on the part of many.
The awful condition oF souls living in
sin and going into eternity without God
and without hope, became a great burd
en upon Christians. Hence people were
willing not only to invi e sinners to the
meetings but to urge tham to yield to the
will of Chrnt. One of the obstacles to
soul savings is the ind ffarence of profess
ed Christians as to the ruined condition
of those who are not in harmony with
God's will.
1 Freached Christ as God gave me
strength I never realized more fully my
own inability and Gad's ability. As self
was small and forgotten, Jasus was lifted
up and people gladly acknowledged Him.
Of the additions forty-two are men and
bovs and thirty-one women snd girls.
Brotner and sister Willisare he'd in high
estiem in E!g n. They are earnest work
ers, tirctner wiius is now wit:i us in a
mseting- With equal trjst in God and
consecration to the wjrk of soul saving
we shall see a great work in La Grande.
To the Giver be all praise.
Yours truly.
