In the fall of 1907, following the camp meeting, a larger hall was rented, this one being located at First and Madison Streets. Accommodations and comfort in the churches of those early days were not considered the most important items. Humble quarters, much persecution, and false reports, failed to stop the onward march of God’s work. The services were conducted with spiritual enthusiasm and were abundantly blessed of God. There was no platform for the ministers, song leaders, and principal workers. They sat in seats arranged on the same level facing the audience. For years there was no pulpit on which to place the Bible. I still seem to see Mother rise to her feet to preach a sermon, clasp her large Bible in one hand, and lift the other hand to begin directing some old hymn, and all the congregation would join in singing. Few instruments, if any, were used to accompany the singing except an organ or piano.

Sometimes while singing those hymns of praise, the glory of God would come down and souls would receive their sanctification, and even before an altar call could be given, others would receive the mighty baptism of the Holy Ghost.
