MR. AND MRS. SUNDAY ON THE GOLF LINKS.

yet their lives were enriched by their experiences, and the world was made better because of their having lived in it.

Read often the following passages of Scripture: Romans 8:18; James 1:12; 1 Cor. 10: 13.

Near the close of each campaign a Personal Workers' League is organized, to aid the churches in maintaining the revival spirit after the meetings end. In some places hundreds of names are enrolled, and in the list will be representatives from all classes converted at the tabernacle, and others who have for years been church members. These Leaguers stand pledged to hold up the hands of their pastor, and stand shoulder to shoulder with him in all his endeavors to make religion something more than a name. They give life to the prayer and other devotional meetings of their own church, and also to the Sunday school and adult Bible classes.

Teams are also organized among them for aggressive evangelistic work, and by them meetings are held in their own and neighboring communities. They hold noon meetings, in shops, factories, etc., and make all possible effort to get men to take an interest in religion. By such efforts a revival spirit is maintained, and hundreds of people are converted. At Youngstown, Ohio, for instance, where Sunday held a meeting in 1908, the revival fires have been kept burning in the churches ever since. The gains in church membership have been not only steady, but surprising.

Through the personal workers at Wichita, Kan., where Sunday held a meeting in 1911, nineteen hundred and thirteen men and boys were reported converted within a year from the close of the campaign. Also

through the example and influence of the Wichita workers, converts in other towns organized similar teams, and extended the work into other districts. A moment's thought will show what a power for good a live Personal Workers' League may become in any community.
