The  Subsequent  Awakening

for  men's  hearts  were  strangely  touched  that  day,
and  in  spite  of  the  pandemonium  which  broke  loose
hung  breathless  on  the  Word  of  Life.
In  the  afternoon  came  another  volunteer,  and
then  there  were  three.  They  planned  together  to
preach  in  turn  throughout  the  afternoon  if  the  fickle
crowd  would  listen,  but  as  each  descended  from  the
elevation  where  he  stood  to  preach  he  was  at  once
led  away  by  eager  questioners,  till  instead  of  one
preacher  there  were  soon  three,  each  with  a  goodly
audience  of  attentive  listeners  hungry  for  the  Word
of  Truth  ;  and  this  continued  the  entire  afternoon,
till  the  heavy  rain  descended  and  the  great  company
broke  up.  Long  before  this,  however,  the  theatre
performers  had  abandoned  their  efforts  to  secure
hearers,  and  had  good-naturedly  joined  the  gospel
crowd.
