The Business Mans Interest

The man Of business affairs deals
largely OH credit, which is founded OH
integrity. Integrity means all there
morally. Men are not all there morally
who do not follow the old Jewish
doctrine proclaimed by the prophets
Micah and Malichi. do Justly, love
mercy, walk humbly. Have We not one
father? Hath not one God created us?
Why do we deal treacherously against
each other?'
John Wansmaker said he could finance
the Billy Sunday campaign in Philadel-
phia with the money the converts paid
voluntarily in old debts. The awaken
ing of their conscience to led them to see
che sin OF not dealing justly.
Business men OF integrity have q big
financial interest in union tabernacle
meeting for the revival OF Godliness in
any community.

Miss Carolyn Hosford, young women's
worker, has been working on preparatory
work in the town with Mr.. Storrs for
the last two weeks and has proven her
self competent and alert for opportuni-
ties of service. and wholly given up to
her life's work. A graduate of Nyack-
on-the-Hudson a successful evangelistic
and rescue mission worker, equipped Miss
Hosford to be a valuable asset in Rev.
Stephens Party.
With such a strong and competent
Party, Mr.. Stephens is ready for a wond-
erful time in Penns Grove and the open
ing service at 7.30 Sunday evening Will
no doubt bring a capacity crowd to the
tabernacle. and plans for a rousing SER
vice promises to d~isappoinr no one.
During their stay in this vicinity. the
Evangelistic Party are to be entertained
in the home of Mrs. H. Seeley, on Della
ware avenue, where comfortable quarters
have been arranged for them.
The Penn's Grove record., 1916-03-31

All preparatory work has been com
pleted and everything now awaits the ar
riyel of the other members of the Party,
which are Rev. III. l.. Stevens and Miss
Ruth Harris. Mr.. Stephens is in good
condition after his rest at his home, for
the work which is before him and he
sends ON word that he feels confident
Penns Grove is going to lave a wonder
full spiritual awakening. and he is ready
to give his best. as never before, to the
people. Evangelist Stephens has had
great success in all of his previous tab
ernacle campaigns both here and abroad
and is known as a man who gets down
to rock bottom and pulls sin out by the
roots Cautious and %tactful, yet force
full, determined and fearless. he is one
who gives the gospel in all its beauty and
simpieitv.- so q
Mr.. Storrs. who has been on the field
for ten days, and has worked so faithful.
~ and tirelessly, needs no introduction
to the townspeople, for already he has
won the hearts of all those he has come
in contact with. His message of Sunday
night ut the uniOn service. qualified him
as preacher as well as chorister and adj
vance man, and the results of the meet
ing was only an earnest of what God is
anxious and willing to do. If three souls
come to God before the campaign is even
started, what a harvest awaits us.

could do nothing TO prevent the ruin.
There are conflicting reports as to the

declare that the custodian Of the engine
