The number of conversions to God wrought by the
Holy Spirit through the agency of the Noon Meeting
will never be known. But it must be great. The
services have never been attended on any two days
by precisely the same individuals. At every succes¬
sive meeting new faces have appeared, drawn of
course by very various motives, but all decorous and
attentive. Of this immense multitude there is reason
to suj)pose that many more than have come to our
knowledge, have received indelible impressions of
eternal things. But they have gone their way, and
are seen no more. " The day will declare " whether
they have been led to the Saviour or not—a question
infinitely more important to them than to us. There
is, however, no need of speculating on this point.
The ascertained results in many cases indicate that
the Lord has bestowed a peculiar blessing upon the
Christians who call upon God every day at noon.
