When a Church Is Losing Members and
Failing Behind, He Says it Is the

should be Oslerized,'' in the opinion
Of Rev. Luther DeYoe, pastor of the
German Lutheran church of, German
town. He expressed this opinion in an
address at the Philadelphia conference
of Eastern Pennsylvania, held during
the past week in Bethany chapel, Phil.
adelphia. His address rather startled
the ministers who heard. it, but Mr.. De-
Yoe did not mince matters in giving
his opinion. T.
"Most clergymen,' he said, "get.
more from their congregations than
they give in return. There is entirely:
too much complaint by ministers as to
what congregations do not do for them.
Clergymen who find their usefulness i'm
paired by age or loss of health; that
their church is losing members and not
forging ahead as it should, ought to get
out of the ministry quietly and save the
members of their congregations from
the necessity, often painful, of asking
them to quit
"In any walk Of life,' continued Mr..
DeYoe, "when man has become un-
fitted to perform the duties assigned to
him, he is let out, and a younger and
more progressive man is put in his
place. So it should be in the church.
Every young man knows what to ex-
pect when he enters the ministry, and,
if he is not prepared to make sacrifices
to answer the call of God, he is not
fitted to become minister

A GRATEFUL, WOMAN.

There is happy little woman in South
Minneapolis and the Sunshiner who has

this happiness is more than repaid by
the woman g gratitude.
Several weeks ago it was reported
that a little sunshine would be a great

band had died two weeks before her
baby was born and who was in need Of
womanly sympathy as well as material

much over ninety pounds, making a
brave struggle to keep up, and, weak

her baby was only 3 weeks old, she

store on Washington avenue the day
the Sunshiner called When she was o.
fered money she replied that she would
not need it just then, because she would
have something from her work, and al
ways she has shown a disposition not
to accept more than actually necessary.
How economically she lives can be
judged by the fact that one day her

So much of the success of the mod
ern revival of religion, as the term is
used in evangelical churches, depends
on the singing of that revival music
has, come to be almost distinct
branch Of musical composition, just as
Sunday school music, and the training
and leading of revival choruses is al
most a distinct branch of revival
ministry. =.
Times have changed since the days
of P. P. Bliss, Philip Phillips, and
other men in their class who literally
won souls. to Christ thru the sweetness
Of their singing. And even since the
days of Ira D. Sankey, that man
called of God to sing just as his CO.
laborer, Dwight L. Moody, was called
to preach, methods have changed al
most radically, altho many Of the songs
of Sankey are still effectively used.
Rev: M. G. Martin, now associated
evangelistic meetings now being con-
Quoted at the First Baptist church, is
foremost type of the modern singing
evangelist. He is an ordained min
lister, but his power as singer and
an organizer and leader of revival
choruses was SO great that now he de-
votes most Of his labors to that branch
of the work. Mr. Martin and DR..
Riley have been associated in revival
work in other places, and they know so
well how to work to the best advan-
tage that no time is ever wasted by
either. Mr.. Martin now has under his
leadership chorus of about 100
voices, admirably trained for the great
work now in progress at the Church.
The singing of those fresh young
voices is as great an inspiration to de-
votion as the forceful preaching of
the word by the pastor. =.
Mr.. Martin is now a resident of
Minneapolis, having brought his fam
lily here. He will remain indefinitely,
working from here in his work as his
duty seems to indicate.
