THE REV. HENRY W. BROMLEY, D. D.

:
phases OF Christian work, he IS the
all around man Of the party Els
chief work is that Of organizer. From
advance work to follow-up plans, his
commission is to see that every piece
or evan geiistic machinery is in mo-
ton, and right and easy motion at
that.
Parrish is. here, there and every
where. He is on the platform and
off; in the tabernacle and out; on
the street or in the Offices; with men
and alone; lining up and leading
delegations to the tabernacle or
working in the audience. assisting
the evangelist or giving instruction
to the inquirer on the front seat;
leading a prayer meeting or preach
ing a sermon; at shop meeting or
in street service. And everywhere
he is the cheerful. optimistic, cor
dial William E. Parrish He GER
tainly is an important link In the
Bromley campaign machinery.
Organization.
Organization is absolutely neces-
sary to the success of any business.
This is true in the manufacturing,
political, educational. social, civic
and religious life.
DR.. Bromley insists that to secure
success in the great tabernacle cam
paigns thorough preparation and CO.
operation must be had. From the
time he closes an engagement to-
conduct a series OF tabernacle meet
ings up to the time he begins the
services, a continuous correspond
ence is carried on with the pastors
and the various committees. He IN
sists that the community must or
ganiZe.
He then sends his associate or i'd
vance representative to, help perfect
the arrangem ents, and churches are
invited to select their pastor and at
least two lay members to make up
committee and they in turn elect
an executive committee. This being
done. every member OF the executive
committee. becomes the recognized
chairman of subcommittee. and Is
charged with a certain branch OF the
work Of the campaign. One Of the
next steps taken by Dr. Bromley IS
to acquaint himself with the local
con ditions, insisting. that as fast as
POSSIBLE an accurate answer be CIV
en- to all the questions of his tnfor-
nation desired. 0s
In this way the evan gelist knows
something of the material he has to
work with and with this information
at hand he can in more intelligent
way join all these clements together
in the great cause the church repre-
sents.
Other Lines of Preparation.
Now for the lineup of the various
departments Of work.
The churches are urged to unite
and lay aside all denominational and
sectarian differences. The choars OF
the various churches and outside
singers are urged to Join the chorus.

pies organizations are! urged to be-
come campaign boosters.
Then the public schools. theabusi-
ness men, the factories and depart
ment stores, the railroad employees
and unions are urged to get In read
mess for the special services that
will be conducted at which they are
to be the guests Of the Bromley
party.
departmerts according to their re-
spective positions and special work
is to be done by personal workers
among. these classes.
Then the city is to be divided into
districts, and cottage prayer meet
ings are to be held under the, direc-
ton of competent leaders.
Another important feature OF the
campaign is the advertising. Dr..
Bromley believes In intelligent AZ
gressive, wide awake service for the
Master. Advertising pays. Some
thing more than church bells and
pulpit announcements Is necessary.
Therefore he urges his committee
to advertise and do 1t extensively.
He has learned from years OF 'exper-
fence the value of certain channels
of communicating to the public such
matters as he desiresto make known
to them, and necessary instructions
are given to committee on publicity.
Large placards are put. In the win
dows OF the public houses Of the city
