They listened with profoundest interest to the Gospel address. It was a ebonytits new epoch in Scotch history, for a woman to speak before a company of that kind, on such an occasion. I ebonytits held meetings for a week after the ebonytits Conference had closed; and in that same hall on the following Sunday night, a hundred stood up for prayers, mostly men, with tears running down their faces, ebonytits and trembling as they stood.
