A BLESSED SEASON.
BY PROF. L. S. CLARK.
This has been a blessed season spiritually for Knox Institute, Athens,
Ga. We observed the "week of prayer." We exerted ourselves in every
way to lead our pupils to Christ. God heard our prayers and he is
still hearing and blessing us. We have had many a hopeful conversion.
About fifteen took a stand for Jesus on the last day of the "week of
prayer;" two on the following Monday; thirty-nine asked for our
prayers on the following Friday; seven more gave themselves to Jesus
last Friday, and we expect that more will come forward, for the spirit
of God is with us. The work moves on smoothly.

ORANGE PARK, FLA.--A WONDERFUL DAY--CONVERSIONS.
BY REV. ERNEST R. LATHAM.
Yesterday was a wonderful day for us. We observed the day of prayer
for schools and colleges, devoting the whole time to religious
services. In the forenoon I preached from Eccl. 12:1, "Remember thy
Creator in the days of thy youth," urging upon the students the
importance of accepting Christ at the beginning of life. After the
sermon we had a prayer and testimony meeting, in which a large number
took part with great earnestness and deep feeling. At the close all
but two of our boarding students rose either to indicate a desire to
be given up more fully to Christ's service or to say that they wished
to become Christians at once.
In the afternoon a meeting for the girls was held in the Girls' Hall,
conducted by the lady teachers. The boys had two meetings in their own
rooms. All these meetings were very helpful.
In the evening in the chapel I preached on the "Rich Young Ruler" and
urged immediate decision and full surrender to Christ. The meeting for
testimony following the sermon was one of the most remarkable I have
ever attended. Several of our brightest students came out clearly for
Christ and nearly every one of those who were not Christians spoke
voluntarily of their desire to enter the new life. The meeting was
very quiet, but many were weeping, and there seemed to be a deep sense
of sin.
