Continued From Page II

His words We're translated into Ha-
| waiian by David All, into Chinese by
| one of the Chinese ministers and into
japanese by DR.. Scudder himself
After the singing of the hymn, "Oh,
That VIII Be Glory that has been
used with such effect at the English
| revivals of DR.. Torrey and Mr. Alex
ander many sentence prayers were
made in different languages by people
in the congregation. The scripture
reading was the story of Pentecost.
After the reading DR.. Scudder spoke
a few words regarding the significance
of the revival and the duty of the peo-
pie toward it. He said that he had
read the Advertiser editorial publish
ed yesterday morning and that it told
the truth in saying that there was
need of a leader. There was no lead
er but Christ. But God will not do
things alone. We must join hands
with him. He wants us to participate
in the redemption of the world. He
! told a story of a Scotch woman who
from drowning as she thought by
miracle. She saved up money until
she was able to build a bridge across
the dangerous stream and put on the
bridge an inscription saying that the
bridge was built by God and me-"
That is the idea. God does not want
us to sit back and let him do every
thing. We must be up and doing our
share
DR.. Scudder told another story of
mine in Wales that became flooded.
The men rushed to the shaft only to
find that the wire communicating with
the electric bell signal was broken and
the cage was at the top of the shaft.
One miner had been a sailor and he
climbed up to the place where the
break was. Holding on with his hands,
with his teeth he pressed the wires
together and the spark of electricity
went through the wire. the cage came
down and carried the men up to safety.
So we can make the connection be-
tween God and the souls of men. If
We do our work in making that con-
nection He will send the spark. There
are many men in this city who have
never had anyone speak to them re-
garding the salvation of their souls
reach the other shore there be some
there who would not have been there
but for us?
After DR.. Scudder's address silent
prayers We're offered by those in the
congregation for those whom they
wished to be touched by the Spirit
while Mr.. Livingston sang 81 Am
Praying for YOU The service closed
with prayer by Rev. J. w. Wadman.

day. The first was held in the Meth
odist church at 10 a. m. and was led
by DR.. Kincaid. 1t was we'll attend
ed In the afternoon at $3.50 a service
was held in the Christian church. 1t
was led by Rev. John w. Wadman.
The church was packed, which is re-
markable for the time of day. Mr..
Wadman made short address and
the rest of the meeting was devoted
to song, prayer and testimonies. A
feature of the meeting was the large
number of sentence prayers and the
way in which everyone took part.
Many stated that they had received
a great spiritual uplift from the meet
ing.
