Everybody is going to the Sunday

corridor and leaned in through the
opening listening attentively to
'Billy's" sermon on Personal
Work" There were plenty of empty
benches, but Steve didn't venture in
side. Near him stood the tall,
oriental-looking person often seen
about the streets dressed entirely In
white with white coat reaching below
his knees.
There was little slang to mark the
evangelist's sermon. 1t was earnest
and a plea, or rather demand, for
more real work in the church.

"but If some prodigal son makes a

Some church people are standing aloof
from these meetings and some saloon
keepers and women OF the redlight are
coming to them. Some of you aren't
backsliders because you have nowhere to
backslide from.
The Wagon f. Different.
I've noticed that everything gets out
of the way and gives room to the fire
engines when they come along, but no
one moves for an ice wagon. 1t will be
the same way when the church becomes
a fire wagon instead Of an ice wagon.
