"A great many people seem 10 be-

place In our residential churches
he said This Ia not true The
spirit OF evangelism--the desire 10

and every service held in IT, And
the man who overlooks the service
OF the Sunday school as an evange.
listlc factor overlooks an item OF
prime Importance In his line OF
work.
