no special excitement, but a deep con-
yiction of sin and an honest seeking
for the blessings of God upon the
saved and upon the unsaved Members
of churches have been awakened out
of their Indifference and led to seek
the amounting of the Spirit. Wrongs
have been righted Pardons asked and
granted. The faith of believers has
been strengthened. A remarkable
object lesson in Christian work has
been seen. The beauty and power of
the Word of God have been made man
ifest as it was SO masterfully preached
and taught by the evangelist Christ
ian people have come to know and ap-
preciate each other as they never did
before. True, some have been driven
to cover or to open opposition. But
the hundreds who have been changed
in heart and life. and who now stand
before the world as children of the
King are living witnesses to the truth
preached the genuineness of the
Christian life, and the reasonableness
of the gospel, which is The power of
God unto salvation to every one that
believeth.' The wisdom of the whole
plan none can doubt. The honor for it

conda, Montana, and of the work Of
Mr.. Lowry and his assistants. 1t was
the word needed to start definite plans
| to invite the same company of work
ers to come to Moscow The secre-
| tary of the association started cor
respondence with Mr.. Lowry. AS soon
as it was learned that he could come
here those who had planned for serv-
ices in their respective churches with
splendid Christian spirit gave up these
plans to enter into the larger union
campaign. A general committee was
appointed composed of representative
men from the different churches Ia
king part in the movement. By this
general committee subcommittee
were appointed to look after the build
ing of the Tabernacle, the heating and
lighting, the music, advertising, enter
tainment of workers, etc. What seem
ed the biggest problem was the Tab
ernacle No one knew how big it ought
to be. Some thought the size first
built was too big and that it would not
be filled. Others thought it was not
big enough Some thought such a
building never could be heated in cold
weather. Some thought it was I'M
necessary to build it in the first place.
All criticisms and objections were
made in friendliness, however, and
when the time for building came vol
unteers were not wanting. Those who
saw it will never forget the building
of the Tabernacle and the addition TO
it which was afterward needed.
"The original plans provided for a
building sixty by one hundred and

that was surely large enough. AS
soon as it was enclosed the stoves
were set up and started to dry the cold
wet ground of the floor. 1t was at
once evident that there would be no
trouble in keeping the room warm At
the first service on the evening of De-
cember 81 it was also evident that the
building was none too large. Within
a week it was so crowded that some
were turned away, not able to find
seats.
In the second week of the meetings the
general committee met and decided to
build an addition of twenty-fOur feet
to the east end of the Tabernacle.
When the day for building the addition
came, willing hands took hold, and in
seven hours the addition was COM
pleted ready for the service that eve
ming. At some of the later meetings
many were turned away for lack of
room.
1.-THE final history of the campaign
can not be written this side of eternity, |
but there are some things of which
we are now certain. No evangelistic
ever before moved Moscow
and vicinity as this has. This is the
expression of the oldest inhabitants OF
the place. Almost from the first the
leaders in Christian work saw the
power of the Holy Spirit. There was

for good when standing for those
things that make for the upbuiIding
of character. 1t would be great ca
lamity to this community to have your
daily paper dropped because of lack
of support, by either the business men
or the people as a whole. The people
of Cedar Falls, Iowa, where l live, a
town of five thousand population,
though only six miles from Waterloo,
where there are four city dailies,
would never be willing to dispense
with their own daily, which has been
well supported for many years. ]

have done in other places following
our meetings, may make greater use of

evangelist l have always used the
press as much as possible, for in that
way knew l was reaching many peO-

THE history of this evangelistic
campaign is interesting in a number
of ways. 1t was greatly needed. For
a number of years the churches and
pastors of Moscow had been holding
evangelistic meetings either in con-
nection with their regular services and
with their own ministers, or with the
aid of UNCONVENTIONAL evangelists or
neighboring pastors of the same de-
Much good had been done.
Some criticism had been made regard
ing the work done at different times.
This, however, was not nearly SO pre-
valent as some of Moscow's people
thought. AS is usually the case in all
these efforts at evangelism there was
only part of the city and community
aroused to any degree of religious
awakening or enthusiasm.

Life Is Short.
| IF in this life we only have hope
! in Christ we would be miserable, be-
cause of it's shortness See how men
strive and toll to lay up for them
selves treasures in this world, and

he is ready to die.
From the cradle to the grave is but

35 years. James said in his Epistle,
W., IA: For what is your life? 1t is

Hear David in his last prayer as he
says in I. Chronicles xxx, Is. For
we are strangers and sojourners be-
fore thee, even as all our fathers were,
and our days on earth are as shadow
that passeth away and there is none
biding.' How like a shadow is a man S
life. Today we see him: tomorrow
we see him not the shadow has van

cradle if we had no hope for any
other, because of it's pains, sickness,
sorrows, disappointments, reverses,
heartbreaks, bereavement and death.
How many would like to live forever in
their present state or in any state or
condition which they hope to attain IN
this life? We have implanted within
our hearts a hope and a desire for
something better. Romans VIII, SO:
Even we ourselves groan within our
selves, waiting for the adoption, to-
wit, then redemption of our body.
Then Paul tells us that the whole crea-
tion groaneth and travailleth in pain
together until now. 1t is impossible
for us to reach perfect state of bliss
in this life. There are always at hand
things to mar and prevent such a state |

"One of the logical results of this
failure was the apathy on the part of
many already professed Christian peo-
pie. There had grown up a sort of
hopelessness on the one hand, and in
difference on the other in regard to re-
vivalS in this place. The members
of the churches had in many instances
assumed a don't care attitude, not
only concerning evangelistic effort
but also in the regular services of the
churches. The pastors came to find
out gradually that unknown to the
others each one had been thinking of
some campaign that would in some
way arouse the whole community
THE pastors themselves needed it.
The most discouraging thing in pas
tors life and work is the careless in

Ministers all know that this is one
reason, and not the least, for the short

TO THE PEOPLE OF MOSCOW
By Evangelist Oscar Lowry

(By Evangelist Oscar Lowry
Il consider that one Of the greatest
privileges that has ever been given me
as an evangelist, has been the privilege
of coming to Moscow and labOring for
the salvation of souls. The results
have been the largest we have ever
had i'm a town the size of Moscow.
First in attendance, and especially at
the special meetings for "men only"
and woman only" Second in the num-
her of converts and then the Offering
has been the largest of any town OF
equal population. Then too, we have
never been in a place where the at
tendance was so large during bad
weather; that to me has been marvel
Gus.
sMay l take this occasion to express
a few words of appreciation. First OF
all to the people as whole for the
hearty way in which we have been re-
ceiyed. / am sure l have never found
a more cordial and h0spitable people
anywhere l have been during the last
nine years in this work. The people
didn't seem inclined to put us through
a season of two or three weeks sus-
picion, as is the case in many places;
but entered heartily and enthusiastically
into the work from the beginning.
This no doubt was partly true because
of the confidence inspired by our dear
friend, ReY. Hand, and his hearty |
words of assurance, because Of having |
passed through campaign with us
two years ago. To him and all these
faithful pastors, this community owes
debt of gratitude that can never be
compensated i'm this world. Matters
not who your leaders might be, such
harvest time is impossible without the
months and years Of faithful seed SOW
ing by the pastors of the churches.
Therefore as Paul says in /. Thess.
:l3, Esteem them very highly in love
for their works sake We may have
had as harmonious lot Of pastors
back of as in other places as yours
have been, but never, on whole, a
more earnest lot Of men. MY daily
prayer will be, God bless these dear
men of God as they endeavor to faith ]

RESURRECTION SERMON
GEM OF THE SERIES

The following eloquent sermon on
1.-THE Resurrection" was delivered by
Rev. Lowry Sunday morning, and is
considered as perhaps the masterpiece
of his oratorical effort in the series:
Evangelist Lowry's morning sermon
was on the subject, "The Resurrec-
tion," and he preached this great Eas-
ter story as it is set forth in the Bible.
'Text, I. Corinthians, XIV. 1920: If
in this life only we have hope in Christ,
we are, of all men, most miserable.
But now is Christ risen from the dead,
