A fragment of his account belongs to this part of the history of Raymond: "There was a very unique and unusual funeral service held here this afternoon at the tent of an evangelist, Rev.John Gray, down in the slum district known as the Rectangle.

The occasion was caused by the killing of a woman during an election riot last Saturday night.

It seems she had been recently converted during the evangelist's meetings, and was killed while returning from one of the meetings in company with other converts and some of her friends.

She was a common street drunkard, and yet the services at the tent were as impressive as any I ever witnessed in a metropolitan church over the most distinguished citizen.
"In the first place, a most exquisite anthem was sung by a trained choir.

It struck me, of course--being a stranger in the place--with considerable astonishment to hear voices like those one naturally expects to hear only in great churches or concerts, at such a meeting as this.
