From the humble little prayer which Tip had offered sprang the first buddings of the great revival which God sent down to them.
"Say," said Howard Minturn to Ellis on the next Thursday evening, "let's go over to prayer-meeting to-night.

I really am dreadfully anxious to hear Tip speak." "No," answered Ellis, speaking hastily, more hastily than he often did to Howard.

"I'm sure I don't care in the least to hear him, and I have enough to do without going there." Howard was _determined_ to go, and to find company.
"Will, let's go to meeting to-night," he said, the next time he came across Will Bailey.
Will looked at him in amazement.

"What for ?" "To hear Tip." "Oh!" said Will; "good! I'll go.

Let's get a lot of the boys and go over; just to encourage him, you know." And they went.
