ARBROATH AND BRECHIN
were the scene of the evangelists’ labours on Tuesday and Wednesday. There is not much to be said about Brechin, where a single meeting in the Cathedral on Wednesday morning was all that could be given. There was a large attendance. It is an interesting fact that many employers of labour in the town permitted their workers to attend the meeting without any loss of payment. Mr Moody‘s address was chiefly directed to stirring up the Christians in the district to united effort in the power of the Holy Spirit.
The work at Arbroath was of an exceptionally encouraging kind. The ground had been well prepared and the people flocked to the meeting in great numbers. So great was the interest that separate services were arranged in the evening for men and women so as to draw as many as possible within the circle of influence. Mr Sankey, Mr Scroggie and Mr Robertson all took their share in the conduct of the meetings and in the inquiry room work, which was extensive, speaking by comparison with some other places. If the visit of the evangelists could have been longer, there is no doubt the mission would quickly have broaden and deepened in volume and in results. It remains for the local friends to follow up and to garner the fruit that may yet appear.
