when any interests in that section

mine whether poultry drawn and
packed in ice would last longer than
poultry undrawn and carried under the

chickens aud an equal number Of

CAMPAIGNING FOR CHRIST.

Every honest, earnest effort tc
make men feel their personal respon
sibility to God, and to lead better
lives, should be commended and en-
couraged. Good comes from such
efforts even when accompanied by
the theatrical furnishings of the
Silly Sunday or Gypsy Smith meet
ings. The slangy sermons of Sun
day or Sam Jones are repellant to
many people, but those people can
stay away and there remain thous
ands and tens of thousands who are
attracted by the plain speaking,
and are convicted of their sins by
such men when the milder, conven
uonal preaching never feazes them
1t seems the general testimony OF
the towns in Iowa and Illinois
where Sunday has worked for several
years, that the moral tone of the
communities is changed for the bet
ter. and there is an uplift in all good
work because of his visits.
The success of Sunday, Smith and
their like, does not however alter
the fact that evangelistic campaigns
conducted on what may be termed ra
tional lines, are more effective ano
more thorough. 1t is impossible OF
course to be a successful evangelist
without appealing to the emotions
Christianity is not a purely intellec
tual process. The Fathers love can
not be demonstrated by rule of three
The heart must be touched, the mem
