The tide of interest In the cam
paign that is sweeping the city, as
no previous movement has ever done
before, is rising higher and higher.
and the outlook for a more moral
city Is better than any time since the
was started. The results
exceed the most sanguine expecta-
tions of the ministers and Christian
workers of the city, and they accent
the present conditions as but the
promise of greater things
There are many remarkable things
about this campaign impressing
hose who have followed it with the
and thoroughness of the
work. 1t has fastened itself upon
the community in such a way that
everything else, for the time being.
Is secondary
The movement Is fortunate in hav-
ing such an able corps of personal
workers and ushers. The churches
have taken hold of the work with
wonderful earnestness, and those
who have acted as ushers and assist
ants have manifested an exceptional
fidelity. The heads of these depart
ments are justly proud of the man
ner in which this service has been
rendered Dr. Biederwolf has spok-
en- many words of commendation OF
this feature of the movement.
What the Evangelist Says.
Dr. Biederwolf has this to say OF
the work at the present time;
u am highly pleased with the
meetings thus far, yet | feel that
the church people have not yet rea-
lized the seriousness of the occasion
and the responsibility of urging upon
the unsaved the claims OF the gospel
This week ought to be one OF
earnest personal work have visit
ed with merchants in their stores
and with professional men in theH
Offices, and / find that men in gener-

ing their decision for Jesus Christ.
The week before us ought to be a
great one"
Too much credit for the success Of
the present movement cannot be Civ
en- to DIR. Biederwolf, whose genius
has been It's inspiration and whose
earnest sermons have quiekened so
many lives.
In endeavoring to analyze the man
there are some things which force
themselves upon one who has come
into close touch with him and fol-
lowed him in his work here and else
where.
He is thoroughly sincere. All that
he is and all that he appears grows
out Of an earnest life and purpose
Whether you meet him in his public
work or in the quiet retirement of
his private life, you find the same
genial. unpretentious, whole-souled
His bearing on the plat
form suggests an impulsive nature,
yet this is but the earnestness of his
soul, blazing forth in his words AS
be breaches his sentences strike FIRE,
but 1t is the natural passion of his
being and not the effort OF man
who is striving for effect
Sometimes, in his attacks on sin,
his words and manner become inn
passioned to the extreme, but tha
back of the speech is SO
patent that those who hear are
moved by the power of his elo--
quence.
He is scholar. His sermons are
not the fitful ebullitions of the pro-
