church, and it has had some of the
ablest evangelists of the country, in
Guiding DR.. J.. Wilbur Chapman and
Major George A. Hilton. A three
weeks campaign in charge of Lockett
Adair, of Dallas, Texas, closed yester-
day. DIR. Lusk believes that any
church can have a revival that wants
it and if they don't have it it is evil
dence that they don't a it. The re-
vival meetings are always arranged to
follow a series of cottage meetings held
in the homes of the people.
Remarkable Growth.
Under the present pastorate the
church has grown from 200 to over 600
n the Sunday school from 200 to
owe 500. Some years ago DIR. Lusk
started to raise an endowment, the in
come to be used for the support of the
church. A few thousand dollars were
donated and DR.. Lusk is yet hopeful of
securing additional sums. A few peo-
pie have the church mentioned in thei
wills, and a few individuals have their
lives insured for the benefit of the
church..
Another special feature is the work
among men. The Mems Brotherhood
is a flourishing institution and takes
rank among the first in the city. It's
president, Waldo c. Genung, is also
secretary of the State brotherhood and
has been a delegate to all the annual
conventions of the brotherhood. Out
of the brotherhood has arisen a large
and flourishing mems Bible class, which
meets every Sunday afternoon at 4
o'clock.
bible Class.
A large young mems Bible class
meets every Sunday in the gymnasium
for the study of the Bible. The Sixth
Church is the first in the P~resbytery
to have a deaconess wearing the Pres
byterian garb of blue. The effort of
the church is to reach all the homes in
the community with the Gospel, so
that if the people will not come to the
church we. will carry the church to the
people.
