Jee Gam and Lum Chung were so wrought upon by what they saw and by what God wrought by them at Petaluma, that they came back fired with a desire to do something like it at our Central Mission House.  This is what I have long wished for, but could never seem to inspire the brethren with courage to undertake.  On Tuesday evening the first of a series of meetings was held there.  The room was crowded.  Some scoffed, some tried to seem indifferent, but all heard the word, and one took a stand for Christ.  The brethren take hold well, each one contriving to make himself the center of a group of heathen, so as to go right to work in the after-meeting.  Pray for them.
