Rev. Lew Wallace, following in the footsteps of his father, Isaac Wallace, a great preacher of sainted memory, is conducting successful evangelistic campaigns in Nova Scotia. The conversion of the Wallace boys forms an interesting chapter in the efficacy of prayer. On a certain night the father and mother invited a few friends to their home to pray for their two sons, both out of Christ. That night as Lew was passing a church at Orange, N.J., he left his fellows and decided to go in to a prayer meeting. There he was met by good old Deacon Dinde who led him to Christ. After going home that night he wrote immediately to his brother William, then a student at Acadia College in Nova Scotia, and begged him to settle the matter of his salvation. But William had that very night also found Christ and had written Lew at Orange not to delay longer, but to yield to Christ at once. Both young men became able preachers of the gospel, William, as will be recalled, having successfully shepherded the First Church at Utica, N.Y., and the great Baptist Temple at Brookyn, N.Y.
