(Capt, Young) —On Monday we paraded the town singing and praising God. The Hall was packed with anxious listeners who flocked in to hear a band of redeemed slaves tell of the boundless love and mercy of their leader. We wound up that night with thirty-four souls at the Cross. Victory continued through the week. Tuesday, fourteen: Wednesuay, eight; Thunday, eight. Friday's Holiness Meeting was a melting time. At the close there were forty out for the blessing of a clean heart. Saturday night we met at half-past six for open-air. The enemy tried to upset us with a band of music which came out of a public-house. Washing-powder was thrown from the public-house at us, but we marched on to victory. handkerchiefs and hats waving. We closed the night with eight souls Glory to God! Sunday was a never will be forgotten in Ross. We wound up with forty-four souls, making 116 for the week.
