of the good results will depend upon
them
Mr 10,
iof fine platform presence and when
he is enthused with his subject, he
is a veritable spiritual dynamo, a
live wire with unlimited voltage, who
electrifies and holds the close atten-
ton of his hearers from the begin
ming. The most critical and the
most skeptical seem to forget all
save the preacher and his message.
! He uses logic with-his oratofy and
has the great gift of painting beauti-
full and impressive word pictures.
But all of this is simply part of his
great energy and his whole being is
thrown into the work of the hour and
an intense desire to see the saliva
ton of souls.
Mr.. Magann is a musical director
with powers particularly adapted to
the work of reaching the best results
through song. He has rich and full
baritone voice, which he uses to a
rare advantage and which carries
conviction to every heart. Natur-
ally he is in close sympathy with the
members of his choir and by inspir-
ing confidence succeeds in drawing
out the best work from each one. The
work has only just started but these
facts will develop more and more
orcibly as the work goes on.

What does the church need today?
Not social position, nor learning, nor
money, nor earnestness nor sacrifice,
for we have all of these now. What
we really need is, the Holy Spirit in
