New Quay: A Sunday In February

Many who were present renewed the covenant of prayer; and for weary months there seemed to be no result. But everything suddenly changed when a young woman, one Sunday morning in last February, tremblingly stood up to bear her own personal testimony to her love for Jesus Christ.
