how many men and women you could
have brought to Jesus Christ. You will
discover If you take time to probe and
to search yourself and if you will be
honest with yourself you will discover
that you have not been following Jesus;
you have been playing at it.
This is not Gypsy Smiths mission 1t
is your mission. 1t belongs to you. to
every man in Birmingham. 1t belongs to
your preachers, it Is your mission and
you should feel it to be your business
because it is Gods business. Tf you
do then you will put your best into it.
Have Hardest Part
IN these forthcoming days it will de-
pend largely upon your personal workers
as to how many souls are saved. 1t is
easy enough to get Nlp before crowd
of 5000 people and deliver sermon. What
is hard is to get one person off in a
corner and show him or her the way to
Christ. You have the hardest part of
the work and you must not finch. I will
do mine.
But first it is important that YOU be
sure OF yourself Begin the revival with
yourself Draw chalk line around your
self and ask God to start the revival in
side the line"
Mr.. Smith touched upon segregation
saying; What of the lost women, the
fallen women? You sesregate them tie
| them hard and fast. place a light near
! them and call them red women What
of the friend out in your suburbs who
has an automobile and can come down
and pay her to remain a red woman
Why not segregate him? Were it not for
some fiend in human form there would
be no fallen women Someone in the
audiepee cried amen when MIR Smith
proposed to segregate those Responsible

speaker said DO you believe that2'
There was chorus of "amens" from
the audience. Then. why don't you act
it," he cried
The great evangelist talked to the ush-
ers. telling them to be always on the
lookout for persons who We're beginning
to show signs of interest Talk to them
and try and show them the way to Jesus
he said. ASK them to come with you to
the inquiry room and pray with you for
their souls"
Mr.. Smith said that even a religious
eaudienee was sometimes very cantan-
kerous. He said it would be the busi-
ness of the ushers to keep the audience
in good mood and. to take coilec-
ton. place the basket in front of a
man and don't remove it until,he has
seen it," said he THE businesseof giv-
ing is Just as religious as praying. \
great many people come to a religious
tuous and when tile collection basket
is passed they. find something very in
Fteresting in the ceiling. Personally /
viii not be affected whether or not
any collection is taken. but it Is my
business to see that there is a collec-
tion. Your committee will take care
of me, but I must see that your com
mittee is taken care of

The Gipsy evangelist is great be-
