MEN AND WOMEN OF
THE SUNDAY PARTY
ARE REAL WORKERS
Some Have Had Years of
Experience and All Have
Definite Work That Con-
tributes Much to Success.

Although the regular party Of workers
that accompany the Rev. DR. William A..
Sunday on his campaign trips to all parts
of the country is large and every member
is busy from the time a campaign opens
until It closes, II has been decided to add
new workers to the party for the Phila-
delphia campaign because of the extern
eive revival to be conducted here. An
nouncement Of the additional workers
will be made in the early future.
The organization plans are so well laid
BY Mr.. Sunday that each leader has some
specific duty to perform, and what he or
she does dovetails into the work of the
other leaders OF the party. Besides Mr..
Sunday there were ten active workers
who were leaders In one kind of work or
another in the recent campaigns of the
evangelist.
One Of the hardest workers for the ad-
vnncement of the revivals wherever Mr.
Sunday goes, is Mrs. Sunday. She has
exceptional executive ability. and assists
greatly in the women's work. She at
tends many of the drawing room gather
ings Of women. and takes charge of some
her husband is busy with the men.
The Rev r. H. Emett, who has been
here for some weeks, is largely RESPONSE
bic for the organization for work -previ-
Gus to Mr. Sundays arrival in the towns
where campaigns are to be conducted.
He goes ahead of the evangelist several
weeks, and co-operates with the local
committees.
There is only one other clergyman in
the Sunday party. He is the Rev. j. w.
WEIGH, who Joined the campaigners but
short time ago He assists In the Bible
teaching and in conducting many of the
special meetings
Anybody who knows anything about
the Sunday campaigns needs no intro
duction to Prof. Homer w. Rodeheaver,
the singer and composer. who leads the
singing In the tabernacles and keeps
everybody smiling all the while. BY keep
Ing the audiences in a good humor he
contributes much to the success of the
rovivals conducted by Mr.. Sunday

tabernacles with SO much care, is one |
of Mr.. Sundays converts. Hls home was |
