Rev. Charles w. savidge, founder and
pastor Of the Peoples church, is one man
who daily lives and talks his profession
Of saving souls, and he is so decidedly
simple and frank in his ministratlons-be-
cause they have become his chief end in
llfe-that he frequently let's slip fine bit
of humor in his serious work of trying to
make others feel bright and happy without
realizing 1t.
Friday morning Mr.. savidge passed one
Of the numerous Salvation Army young
women who are collecting Christmas aims
in the pots at various downtown street
corners. t"..' f# "' .r
Miss" said the preacher, with smile
on his face, ITS mighty cold standing
here, isn't It, but have you thought that
It beats hell a long ways?'
With as profound earnestness in which
the remark was made the maiden received
It and agreed that when she looked out
into the future and contemplated what
awaited those who are lost, she would
gladly stand there and tap that Christmas
pot for winters and winters much colder
than this one.
