Chicago meeting started on October 10th, and is to continue one month or longer. It seems that we have never entered a battle before where the enemy had put up so many obstacles to prevent us from coming. These obstacles came at both ends, too.

I felt that God wanted me to go at this time and that He was going to do a marvelous work there, and this was one reason why the enemy hindered like he did. However, the enemy was overcome by the blood of the Lamb, and the saints are all shouting victory.

The meetings are going on well, three times a day ever since they started. The crowd is increasing continually, and the interest increases. Many have been healed already of various diseases, also saved and baptized. Some lay prostrated at the altar at the close of nearly every meeting.
