For weeks the State committee has
beer using every influence in their
power to interest the people of Maine In
this movement These efforts have me,
with gratifying success. Everywhere
the enthusiasm is increasing. The
state has not witnessed anything like
this movement in all its history. Prac-
tically all other interests have willing
~ stepped aside to aid in the work
The year 1919 opens with practically all
the evangelical churches of Maine unit
ed in q great effort to win it's people
for Christ At last the Church actually
believes that the conversion of the
world is Christianities' problem; and l.,
about to put this belief into practice

Finncy in earnest prayer. western New
York and other parts of the country
were stirred from center to cireumfer-

who are to labor in the city. that God
may make them His chosen instru-

for preaching as they have never
known. en--.t "a -r-..-.. ...

God may give them the desire of their
