It was already filled when Susannah entered, but she was able to press down one of the passage-ways between the pews and seat herself near the front, where temporary benches were being rapidly set up.
Many of the congregation had doubtless come as far as she.

Men and women of all ages, and even children, were there.

Some, who it seemed had followed Finney from his last place of preaching, were talking excitedly concerning the work of God which he had wrought there.

On every face solemnity was written, and stories were being told of one and another who in his recent meetings had "fallen under the power of God." When Finney ascended the pulpit Susannah forgot all else.

The chapel was not well lighted, but the pulpit lamps shone upon him.
