GREAT IMPETUS
 FOR HE REVIVAL
(continued from First Page.

The city is to be divided up into eight districts In each of these districts each of the above members of the ex- ecutive committee will have assistants, with whom he will make up a sub committee, of which he will be chair man. All of the members of these sub committees were present at the sup per last evening.
 To show how minutely the campaign will be organized, it should be stated that each of these members of the sub committees will himself be chairman of a smaller committee made up of rep resentatives from each of the churches in his district, who will look out for the same department of the work in that church and be responsible, with his fellow committeeman to the con- mittee of which his chairman is a. member.
 After the supper last evening Rev. Dr. Phillips, as chairman of the executive committee, took the chair and intro duced Rev. A. B. Robinson, pastor of the Graco Congregational church at Holyoke, where the Chapman meetings have but recently been concluded. The Chapmans left Holyoke to go to Fall River where they now are.
 During the recent meetings in Holy- oke, MT. Robinson was the general secretary of the movement held there. He spoke of the enthusiasm of the prominent business men of Holyoke in the campaign, many 01 them having been before this but little given to re- lfgious matters. MT. Robinson said that the divinity schools would say Let the pastors be the evangelist each of their own fioeks, but the man will not work to get enthusiasm. What is needed is a concerted movement, such as the Chapmans can undertake.
 He testifes that in Holyoke the cam paign resulted in religion being made popular with every class; religious top- les were on everyone's tongue. The re- suits were far-reaching and, what is more, lasting. You will see happy household reunions" he said, members of families who have never confessed God, turning to him freely, gladly It will be a time of happiness in New Haven. You, like myself. will be able to say Truly my cup runneth over :" Another Holyoke pastor to speak was Rev. Dr. John S Lyon, of the Second Baptist church in Holyoke Dr. Lyon answered a number of questions uut to him as to the results of the work in his city. He laid particular stress rpon the fact that every class had been | reached, fashionable poor factory peo- ] pie and prominent business men, He said that the plans of the evangelists have been well worked out and they should be followed without fear of there being a nisstep He said he Icould prophecy that pr. Chapman would be found preacher of the old school, man whose views, when ut tered, were capable of no uncertain in- l depreciation.
 l At this point Dr. Phillips introduced Dr. Champan's brother, F. G. Chap man. the head of the business end of the campaign. Mir, Chapman's talk was simple, straightforward and unspec- tacular. He said he first wished to lay emphasis on the necessity generally of running the business end of religion l along the lines of least resistance, yet in sane and commendable manner. l MT. Chapman then explained at some length the salient features of the cam paign. He urged all the workers not 10 emphasize the things they could not agree upon as to creeds, but rather to work for common end, the salvation of souls. One of the things which the pastors must be agreed upon, he said, wa1 to give up their mid-week prayer meetings.
 MT. Chapman explained the expenses to be met There would tbe the trav- cling expenses of the evangellsts, about twenty-five people to New Ha- ven; the hotel expenses here, the in- Icidentals such as printing and hall rentals, and the salaries of those that receive salaries. To meet this SITS lwould be necessary in each district per week. This will amount insall in the eight districts during the three weeks of the campaign to approximately $3.S00. he thought To this he added I$1,2O0 for unforeseen expenses, mak- tare to4o of tlo~ f1ov, r1oi isry, about S5,000 or more, Two-thirds' of Ithis sum he recommended to be sub scribed voluntarily by the churches taking part in the movement; the re- lmaining one-third to be subscribed after the movement starts, or got through the plate offerings. The f. nance committee is to have charge of these moneys
 | MT. Chapman was asked to explain more definitely about the free will of-
 ferings. These, he said, would be for
 the benefit of the ,evangeliSts who did
 not receive any stated salaries, Dr. Chapman and his immediate assist ants. These offerings would be col
 lected the last few meetings of the
 campaign. The amount taken up
 would not be announced, it being a personal matter with pr. Chapman
 and his seven or eight assistants
 whom he pays out of it. MT. Chapman
 stated, however, that his brother, Dr
 Chapman, has been receiving as his
 share of these free win offerings an
 amount equal only to one-haf the
 amount he had been used to receiving
 as salary while pastor in Albany
 and Philadelphia before he became
 associated with the movement
