Iiewburg, Holston Presbytery: We
have just passed through a season of
refreshing from the Lord. As in the
days of old, Jehovah sent His prophets
to His people to warn the careless,
sinful and unruly and to build up the
faith of His chosen people, so we be
lieve to-day He has chosen instru
ments whom He uses amongst the
children of men, instruments to sound
clarion notes of warning to sinners to
turn from their evil ways, and notes
of joyful acclaim to encourage and
build up His saints on earth in their
most holy faith. The writer is con
vinced from personal knowledge of
the man and his work that the evan
gelist of Holston Presbytery, Rev.
Frank D. Hunt, measures up to one of
these specially selected, ordained and
sent instruments of the Almighty.
After eight days of earnest, faithful
and diligent labor he has passed on
to another field, leaving behind deep
and lasting impressions of the divine
calling that is stamped upon his mes
sages. Our faith has been strength
ened, and the whole community awak
ened to our responsibility to God and
man. May the Father's benediction
rest on him and his labors every
where.

by three or four legislatures. It will
be necessary for thirty-six States to

McJunkin was much pleased with the
interest manifested by the people, and
they, in turn, were delighted with his
preaching. One interesting feature
of the meeting was the children's ser
