The meeting was held under the direction of our Young People's Association,--that same body of young Christian workers which gave the Rev Francis E.Clark both the inspiration and practical hints for the formation of his first society of Christian Endeavor.

What a fearful bitter night was that 8th of January! Through that stinging Arctic atmosphere came a goodly number with hearts on fire with the love of Jesus.

The prayers that night were well aimed; and a man, who afterwards became a useful officer of the church, was converted on the spot.

On the Friday evening of that week our lecture-room was packed, and when the elder requested that any who desired special prayer should rise, two very prominent men in this community were on their feet in an instant.

The meeting was electrified; every one saw that God was with us.
