meeting from every view point
Not only in the great ingathering
of souls but the churches have
been drawn closer together and a
feeling of fellowship prevades the
atmosphere
Everybody is invited in saying
that Ringwood has at last experi
enced a revival of time old fash
ioned religion in which men in
every walk of life was swept into
the kindgdom
The people showed their ap-
preciation in a substantial way by
giving the evangelist and his wife
a little more than three hundred
dollars in a free will offering
Evangelist Wood aud wife have
worked hard and faithful while
here and God blessed their efforts
in a remarkable way x
The sermons were all of the
safe and sane order forceful ex-
positions of the gospel and its
power to sore and keep from sin
The music under the direction
of Mrs Wood was of a high order
The prayers of the people of
Ringwood will follow them where-
ever they go
