PREPARING FOR "TRA11eH1TTERs"
rpstr,,ctions in methods of assisting
prospective converts to the "sawdust
trei,' were given to 200 personal workers
from various churches In the city in an
enthusiastic meeting last night in the
tabernacle.
Trail hitters will not be called for until
Che campaign has been under way some
time but preparations are always made
for the assistance OF the converts In ad-
vance.
The instructors we're Harry e. Paisley,
chairman of the Personal Workers Conn
mIttee; the Rev. John Wallace Welsh,
assistant to "Bllly" Sunday, and the Rev.
B II. Emett, advance man for the evan'
gelist.
Mir. Welsh told the personal workers
that they must be careful of their lam
guage In addressing the unchurched.
Don't try to be a William "A. Sun.
day." he said, when talking TO one per.
son. Don't call a man q lobster when
you are making an, effort to win his soul
to Christ. Leave that to the man on
the platform Go after him with low
ing heart, and always remember that you
can catch more flies with molasses than
with vinegar. Any man who can sell
shoes, stoves, or is any kind of sales
man at all, can present the gospel in a
manner that will be effective"
Mr.. Paisley said that the trouble with
most church workers was that they had
not "saddled UP" to their duty I'm the

Each personal worker" he said, us
to invite the unchurched and the un-
saved to their respective churches and
to the tabernacle. You are not to have
prolonged arguments with persons nor
are YOU to distribute literature.
you are to recommend the reading of
the Bible and you are to suggest prayer
and faithful attendance to church and
tabernacle services. Tho work should
continue in the churches after the taber-
nacle services are over. Neighborhoods
should be canvassed and continued effort
made to draw the unsaved into tho
churches.
WORK FOR CHURCH MEMBERS.
1--WE don't want any member of any
church," said Mr.. Emmett. ito think he
is exempt from personal work. | want
to impress upon all church members that
every unchurched man, woman and child
is a possible disciple of Jesus Christ.
If We are to win big victory in Phila.
delpha, every church member must be-
come personal worker.
"Two hundred thousand church people
in Philadelphia are lined up for this
campaign, and II every one OF them gets
out and does faithful personal work,
the crowds will be so large that this
tabernacle will not be half large enough
to accommodate them / want personal
workers to pay particular attention to
the rear part of the tabernacle. For
there sit the unchurched people and un-
saved In the front sit the church and
warmed-over Christians"
