I want you to pray for me that I might hold out to the end. Clyde Weikle, I Fairview, Kansas. I am glad that Jesus was willing to take me in, when I confessed my sins. I was saved a year ago last December in Miltondale, Kansas. H.

H. Williams was preaching in the college chapel. When the altar call was given I rushed to the alter and after praying for about an hour, the Lord so wonderfully blessed me tht I just run over with joy, as some people say. Three nights later I felt my need of a second work of grace, which I sought and the Lord sanctified me through and through, then and there. Praise 'His name forever.

I can say that I have still got the old time religion which makes the saints happy and the devil mad. Your brother in Christ, JVm. Pcrlo Hughes. have been lost for not believing it. If we reject the word of God, we reject Christ, and all Christ rejecters shall be lost forever.

The fierceness of a burning conscience and the bitter torments and agonies of soul will be )ne of the most bitter torments of hell. I myself have had a genuine revelation of hell and of what it would be to be lost, about which I expect to write an article in the near future. I will never, doubt the reality nor the eternity of hell. Nature itself teaches that sin must be punished. If you are not saved, "Pull for the shore," the great falls are below.

Imagine a man on the Niagara River in a boat. He doesn't know that the great falls are below. He is warned a dozen times, but takes no heed. He does not believe that there is any danger ahead, and so goes recklessly forward. At last he hears the roaring of the falls below.

He notices that the boat is increasing in speed. He does all in his power to turn back or pull for the shore, but he realizes that it is too late. He cries for help, but no help comes. He goes down over the falls and is lost. So it is with the sinner who neglects salvation.

He will pray, but his prayers will be too late. Morality will not save. Our self righteous ways will not save us from sin. Indifference is one of the greatest sins that there is. If you are not saved, turn to God before it is too late.

"I dreamed that the great judgment morning Had dawned and the trumpet had blown; I dreamed that the nations had gathered For judgment around the white throne; From the throne cams a bright shining angel Which stood on the land and the sen And swore with his hand raised to heaven That time was no longer to be." Chorus "Then oh! what a weeping and wailing When the lost cnes were told of their fate; They called for the rocks and the mountains; They prayed but their prayer was tco late" "The moral man came to the Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: I can truly praise Jesus for saving and sanctifying me. Oh how sweet to rest in Jesus. Glory to God. A sister in the Lord, Selma Carlson, Vining, Kansas. I am glad I am saved and on my way to heaven.

Your sister in Christ's service, Anna Weikle, Fairview, Kansas. Rev. T. V. Smith, whom many' of you know; besides many other active workers are assisting in the meetings.

The interest is great and the attendance large. Conviction is resting heavy upon many souls. Many are inquiring the way of salvation. Three have claimed conversion, one of whom is Bro. Geo.

Fisher, a young man, whose testimony will probably appear in the paper this issue, and the other two, Brother and Sister Higgins, who have been church members for years, but were never truly saved before. The outlook for a sweeping revival is good. We are praying that dozens of souls will be blessedly saved. Let every true child of God pray earnestly for the meeting here.

One Mrs. Carrie Gannon, was saved, and others were earnestly reek'ng when I had to leave, as I had Trade 'a date for Vining. News has come to me that several of them have been gloriously saved since I left.

Bro. C. W. Lucas the pastor, continued the after I left. Wo held morning prayer meetings at 10:00 and afternoon prayer meetings at 2:30.

The prayer meetings were well attended and all were revived and refreshed from the presence of the Lord. I' desire the prayers of all the Christian people. I feel that I am one of the weakest of God's unworthy servants. I want to always live low at the feet of Jesus; and give God all the glory for everything. I realize that I am nothing, but Christ is all in all.

Pray for me. I would be "fad tn hear from all the Christians quite often. I am your unworthy servant. LeRoy M. Kopp.

Testimonies by the Saved. I wa's saved Sunday night about ten o'clock, February 7, 1915, at Vining, Kansas, at the United Brethren church during the revival meeting here, which is still in progress, conducted by LeRoy M. Kopp. I had been attending the meeting for about three weeks before, while Bro. Perle Hughes and other helpers were conducting the meeting.

I had been under conviction for some time, and had been seeking the Lord at times; but I was not saved until Sunday evening after the sermon. I went to the altar and sought earnestly for about a half hour, when suddenly the Holy Spirit came into my heart; and I was saved. I jumped up and began to praise the Lord. I am rejoicing on my way to heaven. I want all the saints of God to pray for me.

How I Was Saved. Brother LeRoy Kopp was holding meetings in the City Hall at Fairview, Kansas. There were other souls up at the altar praying for salvation. Brother Kopp came back where I was, and asked me to go up and be saved. I refused to go at first; but when I saw my two sisters go up I felt as though I had ought to go up and pray for salvation.

And I pushed chairs away and went up to the altar and prayed for salvation. I didn't get salvation that night; so I came back the next night, and prayed again and was saved. I never felt happier in my life than when I was saved. I was saved January 8, 1915. I will never turn back.

Miss Anna Dack, Fairview, Kansas. I am truly glad to say that I am saved. And I am not ashamed to tell any one that I am saved, for it is the hapiest feeling that ever I am glad to know that my name is written down in Glory. And I am truly glad to know that I can help to save other souls. Pray for me.

Miss Elsie Dack, Fairview, Kansas. i But his self righteous rags would not do; The men who had crucified Jesus Were passed off as moral men too.
