Continued from last week
rsfmiles seemed insufficient and Pente-
cost itself was the only achievement
which Mr.. Sunday had not surpassed.
The distinctive Ohio era of MI. Sun
days work practically starts with
Portsmouth, where a very significant
campaign opened on the last Sunday
of 1910 and continued for six weeks.
AS a result $500 converts are reported
and a free will offering of $40, 554 al
made. The assistants at that time
were: Rev. Mr.. Honeywell, Homer A.
Rodeheaver, B. D. Ackley, Fred Sell
bert, Miss Frances Miller and Miss
Anna MacLaren.
1t was during the Portsmouth cam
tpaign that Mr.. Sunday made his first
excursion into Columbus, the state
capital. There was at the time a Wig
o wet and dry fight going on In
the legislature, and the Ohio Anti
Saloon League induced MI. Sunday to
come to Columbus for an address,
which he delivered in Memorial Hall
ITO a crowd which broke all records
for that large auditorium. The event
made more than a statewide impress
sion, as the talk, delivered with it's
accustomed fire and vigor was a start
ling innovation even to a press which
had 80 years experience with the Wit
friolic possibilities of uncounted polit-
deal meetings.
This visit to Columbus laid the
Foundation for the call which was
finally accepted in 1912.
From Portsmouth Mr.. Sunday went
TO Lima, Ohio, with only a few days
of rest intervening. The Lima cam
paign opened February 10, 1911, and
closed April 2. Rev. T. H. Campbell,
who was one of the cooperating pas
tors at the time, reports the CONVEX
lsions at $500 and the free will offering
at $11,324. The assistants were Rev.
MI. Honeywell, B. D, Ackley, Homer
"a. Rodeheaver, Fred Seibert, Miss
Frances Miller, Miss Grace SAKE, Miss
Anna MacLaren and Mrs. Sunday.
Exactly one week after the conclu-
sion of his arduous services at Lima
Mr.. Sunday opened the campaign at
Toledo, Ohio, April 3, and closed it
May 81, 1911. The figures given by L.
j. Beecher, city editor OF the Toledo
Blade, shows that Toledo eclipsed all
previous records with 1900 converts
and e free will offering Of $15,423.58.
Mr.. Sunday passed over the borders
of Ohio for his next campaign which
was at Erie, Pa, but returned imme-
diately thereafter. The Erie campaign
opened May % and continued until
July 8, after which the evangelist went
OF his usual summer vacation. The
conversions are given by the editor of
the Herald as 5,314 and the free will
offering $~11,565.67. The same author
tty says that the total collection for all
purposes wal $21, 926.83. The assist
ants were exactly the same as those
of the previous campaign.
Springfield, Ohio, which claimed MI.
Sunday at the opening Of his work in
September, 1911, while considerably
smaller in size than the scene Of his
several preceding campaigns, almost
iequaled them in results. During the
six weeks that the meetings were In
progress 1000 conversions were re-
ported. and the free win offering
amounted to $4,000.
Once more Mr.. Sunday left Ohio for
IA brief period, conducting his next
injecting at Wichita, Kansas. The
Opening date was November IL, and
the closing was Christmas, 1911.
From Wichita, after the holidays, Mr..
Sunday resumed his Ohio labors at
Canton.
