DIR. Hormel's addresses follow in
their order:
I come to speak to you as an eye
witness of Rev. William A. Sunday and
his great work. AS one of the pastors
of Ottumwa who for the space of three
years did not cease to implore Mr..
Sunday to come to our city and help
us. understand full well the preju-
dice that works against this man of
God and his work. in the hearts and
minds of many of the most thoughtful
and earnest members in the church as
we'll as of those who are on the outside.
I have seen these. prejudices vanish like
a fog that hangs over the city and the
country about it, and by the time the
meetings had well begun. Mr.. Sunday
was standing forth In the beauty Of
his noble Christian manhood, captur-
ing the hearts of all truth loving peo-
pie from all ranks of society. l have
seen great city changed by the gil
gantic labors of six weeks, under this
great leader in the church. Besides at
tending nearly all of the committee
meetings. I did not miss q union meet
ing of the people or an afternoon or
evening meeting, in connection with
the entire campaign in our city. 1t is
now about six weeks since this evan
gelist has left our city, and being the
pastor of large church with four mis-
sion chapels, come to you under the
that has come to our work
from the new life and the added forces
Of men and women, resulting from this
revival. Besides this. come to you as
an eye witness to the fruits of Rev.
Sundays campaign, In the city of Aus
Din, Mimi, three years ago, and where
had former parish for six years. As
the apostles of old answered those who
questioned them as to their enthusiasm
for Christ, so from the first I say to
you. ''for we can not but speak the
things which we saw and heard"
The Revival Campaign.
"Wilt thou not revive us again, that
thy people may rejoice in thee?" This
Is the prayer with which the psalmist
Of old i1nplored God for quickening of
his people. The revival is to come from
God in answer to the prayers of his
people, and as God is honored by his
faithful ones, so he honors them and
pours out upon them the Holy Spirit
ind causes them to find their highest
Joy in him and his service. The re-
1ival, under the leadership of Rev w.
A. Sunday will stand the test of this
Ind similar texts.
