ORGANIZATION FOR
WORK FOLLOWS OUT
A WELL-LAID PLAN
The Rev. E. H. Emett, Sum
days Assistant, Tells of
Methods and Praises Lo-
cal Preparations.

Organization is one of the things that
has much to do with the success of the
revivals conducted In the Sunday taber-
nacles. Billy Sunday can convert thou
sands when he gets them to his meetings.
The Rev. E. H. Emett. assistant to Billy
Sunday. who has been here for several
weeks. helping with the local committees
and plans, in an interview. gives some
idea OF the machinery of the great organ
ization
Organization of the forces for a cam
paign conducted by Mr.. Sunday has
passed the experimental stage. In COM
ing to city I know what Mr.. Sunday
requires, and suggest or outline to the
committees the various phases OF the or
ganization." he said.
"The one exception in this city is the
matter OF planning for neighbOrhood
prayer meetings. These have been ad-
iniTably cared for by Doctor George H.
Buckley In no city where Mr. Sunday
has conducted meeting have broader or
better plans for the prayer meetings been
laid.
Another valuable and Important phase
Of the preparatory work Is that of the
Rev. George @. Dewey, who, under the
joint auspices of the Central Committee
and the Philadelphia County Sunday
School Association, is increaHlng the mem-
bershiPs Of the mems Bible classes In the
Sunday schools. Similar work 10 this IS
being done In Des Moines. and we have
found ample opportunity to relate this
special work TO the scheme of organiza-
tion. We are planning TO relate Mr. Dow
ey's efforts to the work OF the Mems
League IN Philadelphia.
In every city that is organized for a
Sunday campaign the position OF the pas
tor is recognized. The whole scheme
OF organization begins with an appeal TO
the pastor for men and women to help In
the details. The church is the goal OF
every activity In connection with Mr..
Sundays eampaigp. There ls nothing
that Mr.. Sunday Is mort insistent upon
than that the ministers shall be in the
forsfront from the beginning.
