BIEDERWOLF
IS IN A NEW
UNDERTAKING

n hlhb Va tOBAO
the different denominations have re-
Gently met at Winona Lake, Ind, and
formed an organization which it is be-
lieved will prove a strong factor in the
general evangelistic work of the united
church Of America. This Committee is
to be known as the Winona National
Federated Evangelistic Committee.
Special evangelistic services seem to
have been a part of the divine economy
in Fastening the coming Kingdom Of
God, and in no time more than in the
past few years, has the church been
giving itself to the prosecution of this
special form of christian endeavor.
| The need of the church, these men
claim, is the raison d'etre of evange-
lism.
AS suggested by the name of this
Committee, its thought is to secure the
equal representation and the hearty CO.
operation of all denominations in the
work of evangelism throughout our
country. Federation is reckoning to
the church today. More and more it is
felt the churches are coming together,
and more and more the church as a
whole is calling for carefully organ
lied and sanely prosecuted e~yangelistic
effort.
Something Of the profound signif-
canoe of this movement may be under
stood from the fact that it has enlisted
the interest of SO many of the leaders
among both the ministry aud lsity of
the different denominations. The AID
visory Board as thus far organized is

Rev. William Edward Biederwolf,
ID. D., has been chosen as General Sec
and Director of this new under
There are few men, if any,
better fitted for this position than
Evangelist Biederwolf; he combines
with his we'll known preaching ability
a splendid mental equipment, and a
noted capacity for organization.
DIR. Biederwolf is the man who plan
ned the great Forward Movement in
the State of Kansas a few years ago,
which was perhaps the most unique
and most successful effort of its kind
ever made in this country.
This Committee is plannig for a
number of statewide simultaneous
campaigns, in which a large number of
carefully selected evangelists and pas
tors of evangelistic ability win eonfne
their efforts for an entire year to the
work of these seveyal states. 1t is
the purpose of this Committee not to
undertake the work of any state with.
out the most careful and thorough
preparation. 1t is estimated that such
preparation in itself will consume an
entire year of time. State Superinten-
dents of Missions and evangelistic work
may correspond with the Committee
whose headquarters at this time are
Winona Lake, Indiana.
