One of the most peuceful and help ful series of special meeting* we have ever had came to a close with last Sunday's services. Everyone who was in attendance regulurly witnessed Sunday night that they had been greatly helped by the meetings. There were a few very bright conversions and everyone, even to the pastor, re ceived new fire. Wish everyone of you could have heard the lust talk of the series Rev. Groves gave us on the subject ‘‘Twice Born.” He showed so clearly that the "new birth” is more than intellectual belief, more than being baptised, more even than conversion— (though often spoken of as though they meant the same thing), but conversion is a turning about, forsaking sin und fac ing the heaven way, hence that is man's part while the new birth is God's work—the change of heart and life that His touch gives when we humble ourselves and repent und give ourselves to Him. Listen to the poem written by a young man who was converted the first week of the meetings and read Sunday night as his testimony: Yes, 1 was a sinner once, But Jesus came to me, Now the glory of the heavenly home So clearly I can sec.

And this our prayer, "THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.” The gold we’ve heaped—the fame we’ve piled Like mountains o’er our head, But for Thy love— we seek, Oh, Lord, "GIVE US—OUR DAILY BREAD.” Gifts we have brought and prayers we’ve prayer, Each by his conscience fettered; "AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS, we pray thee, Lord, "AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.” And thus we pray this coming year That we may do Thy will, "AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION. BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.” And thus we pray deep in our hearts The way of humble men, "FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND POWER, AND GLORY, FOREVER, V V W W W IM W fV M V V V W A V i Five Hundred Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
