for a month or more on a stretch. In addition
there is the labour of moving my apparatus toa |
new town nearly every day and hanging the curtain in a strange theatre, hall, or church. Only those who have done much of such work know how this feat taxes one’s ingenuity to the utmost. It is seldom that I return to my hotel after an evening service before 11 p.m. Such is the routine nearly every day and for weeks at a time, and the wear and tear of the apparatus is small compared with the fatigue
and physical strain on myself and all associated |
with me in the work. From the time I began this special work, nearly seven years ago, it has been my privilege
to hold 357 lantern meetings and to speak to . If I had the time and space |
157,100 people. I could tell many touching stories of prodigal
sons confessing their sins, backsliders reclaimed, |
decisions for Christ brought to a point after
months of procrastination, and awakened desires
to read the Bible and to live a better life.

aA HE slide for this month is that of 24 a swinging boat—an inseparable appendage to all festive gatherings usually honoured by the presence of *Enrietta and ’Arry—and two of these gentry are apparently enjoying IS themselves in it, and meanwhile earning their ride by their individual exertions. As the boat swings to and fro, the occupants in turn each do their share of pulling the rope; the motive power is thus, to all appearances, supplied by the riders themselves, and not (as it is in reality) by a hidden mechanism. The construction of this slide is very simple, and the effect, as seen upon the screen, is excellent. The ordinary framework and two
Ney
glasses are employed; one being fixed and the other movable. Upon the fixed glass x, Fig.
, IV., is glued the oblong block or beam F. A
front view of this block is shown in Fig. III. The boat and rods v connecting it with the beam are cut out of one piace of tin, as shown in Fig. I. Three holes, 8, c, and p, are drilled
in it, and at the extreme end a small slot a is cut.
The riders, a and s (Fig. III.)—c, of course representing ’Enrietta and 3’Arry—are cut out of tin or thin metal and pivoted at the points cand p to the boat. It will be noticed that small, irregular projections of tin, H and 1, are left near the hands of the riders, which serve to represent the ends of the ropes which the occupants of the boat are pulling. The two
long wire rods, y and z, Fig. III., are soldered to the arms, and are bent round at the other
ends into small loops. The swinging boat should be pivoted at B to the centre of the beam F, and the wire rods just alluded to (which represent the ropes by which the riders effect the motion of the boat) are pivoted through the loops at & and st to the ends of this beam.
