ONE GIRL'S INFLUENCE

* * * * *

"A young girl went from home," writes Mrs. Sangster, "to a large school

where more than usual freedom of action and less than customary

restraints were characteristics of the management. She found very little

decided religious life there--an atmosphere, upon the whole, unfavorable

to Christian culture. But she had given herself to the Lord, and she

could live nowhere without letting her light shine.

"In a very short time she found two or three congenial spirits, more

timid than herself, but equally devoted. A little prayer meeting began

to be held once a week in her room. On Sabbaths in the afternoon, a few

of the girls came together to study the Bible. Before the half year was

over, the hallowed flame had swept from heart to heart, and there was a

revival in that school."
