Women moaned and wept and here and there a child knelt crying. I watched the scene for nearly an hour, before hunting up someone who could tell me what it was about. A woman brought one of the leaders from the plat form. He was Wm. H. Offier He said he had been a plumber, had heard the “call” and given up plumbing.
