Receiving Congregational Response.--Brother -----'s meetings were largely attended, and the people listened to his words with spellbound interest; the interest continued from first to last. With his Bible in his hand, and basing all his arguments on the Word of God, Brother ----- traced out before them the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation. His own words were few; he made the Scriptures themselves explain the truth to the people. After giving them the truth, Elder ----- would draw an expression of opinion from his congregation. "Now," he would say, "those who see the truth of what I am saying, raise your hands"; and in response many hands would be raised. I can only poorly represent to you the interest his work has created.--Letter 400, 1906. -- Evangelism, p. 198 In the above statement, how did the preacher not only engage the people in his sermon, but also confirmed that they were following him?
