As it was we did not get into the Exhibition Building till ten, and a vast crowd had been sitting inside from five, and stayed to hear me talk till 10:45.
"I had an immense Meeting--they say 5,000 were present on the Sunday morning, 7,000 in the afternoon, with as many more turned away.
"The opportunity here is immense beyond conception.

The people are delightful, and the Officers also.

If they were my own sons and daughters, I don't see how either Officers or Soldiers could have been much more affectionate." How great was the strain of the Meetings may be guessed from the following remarks as to the final one:-- "I trembled as I rose.

You must understand that the Hall down which I spoke is about 400 to 450 feet long, and that on this occasion a partition about ten feet high was drawn across it, some 300 feet from the spot on which I stood, so that my voice had to travel all through the entire length of the building before it met with any obstruction, whilst behind me there was at least another seventy feet.

The Press estimate the crowds at 10,000; but, that is an exaggeration.
