TWENTIETH NIGHT
INTERCESSION MEETINGS Notwithstanding the wintry weather on Friday evening, the usual Friday all night of prayer was held at the Grange Road Baptist Church. This was the 20th sucessive Friday of these gatherings which have attracted so many earnest Christians, though many of these would be found, if questioned, to differ widely with regard to secondary beliefs. The arrangement seems to be to put first things first and thus this somewhat cosmopolitan meeting, in a Christian sense, finds in its communion "the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace,” reports an officer of the church.
The persistence and popularity of these assemblies (which are now talked of in several Austalian capitals, and even in London) probably was found in the application of St. Augustine’s advice:
'Tn essentials unity, In non-essentials liberty. In all things charity.”
On Friday night the leaders and speakers were Mr. Harrv Dawson, the evangelist, the Revs. R. H. Radford and A. S. Wilson, Mr. T. H. Salmon, the evangelist, and Mr. J. B. Lewis, backblocks missioner.
Up to midnight the redemption songs hymn-book was used and from then till daybreak the “Hymns of Consecration and Faith."
