There was an unusually large number present.

The prayer meetings ever since that remarkable Sunday morning had been attended as never before in the history of the First Church.

Mr.Maxwell came at once to the point.
"I feel that I am called to go down to the Rectangle tonight, and I will leave it with you to say whether you will go on with this meeting here.

I think perhaps the best plan would be for a few volunteers to go down to the Rectangle with me prepared to help in the after-meeting, if necessary, and the rest to remain here and pray that the Spirit power may go with us." So half a dozen of the men went with the pastor, and the rest of the audience stayed in the lecture room.

Maxwell could not escape the thought as he left the room that probably in his entire church membership there might not be found a score of disciples who were capable of doing work that would successfully lead needy, sinful men into the knowledge of Christ.
