WHY A UNION MEETING IS
PREFERABLE
BY Evangelist N. H. Lines

First-Because gin unity there is
strength" and in no place is this
truer than in the work of the Lord. In
our battle with sin, we need all the
strength we can command. 1t is no
small task to dethrone sin and drive
it from a community, and that should
be the chief aim and object of reviv
al meeting. To accomplish this we
need the combined strength of all
the churches of God in the community.
Second-A union meeting creates
community spirit that cannot be had
in any other way. In a union meet
ing the people are brought in closer
touch with each other. This alone
should be sufficient reason for want
ing a union meeting. Holding indi-
yidual church meetings, and emphasize
ING our own peculiar church doctrines
initiates against such spirit. In the
average town there is not enough of
the community spirit; in our indi-
yidual church work we are inclined to
think only of our own flock and fail
to see the community need. 1t is
possible to build up each church indi-
yidually and the community in gen
eral receive but little benefit, but 1t
is impossible to build up the commun-
ity in general without the individual
church being greatly benefited. The
main object of union meeting is to
touch the life of the whole community
and lift it to higher plain. When
this is done each church in the COM
munity is bound to be helped and the
work of the church made easier.
Third-A union meeting stops the
mouths of those who are always find
ing fault with the churches and say
ing, 'if they are all serving the same
God, and striving to get to the same

BENEFITS OF A REVIVAL ARE
MANY
Rv C. A. oninn.

7. L. Cuyler has said that "a gen
uine revival means trimming Of
personal lamps"
Henry Ward Beecher said that "the
whole of the Savior's ministerial life,
at least the part of it that stands on
record, was passed in what we may
call substantially a revival work"
The question was asked few days
ago, how many have been converted
in a revival meeting? And more than
rs per cent responded. 1t was ap-
parent to all present that revival
was a necessity to gain new converts
to christianity That people do not
grow into salvation, or are educated
into it. But it takes a special effort
to get people to see the need of
Savior This being the case, all live,
growing churches, from the day of
Pentecost to the present, not only be-
lieve in them, but use them.
The benefits of revival are many.
First, in the deepening and quicken
ing the spiritual life of every church
in the community. 1t is like adding
fuel to fire when it has burned low
1t isn't lack of machinery, the church
has ali it needs. But spiritual energy;
and the revival is the energy that
connects this machinery with the dy
namo Of heaven. Then we see the
benefits in the general moral tone Of
a community. Sin isn't so popular as
it was. A higher standard of morality
is raised, and the effect is felt in
every artery of legitimate business
Churches working in harmony and
in unity against common foe. We
often pray, "Thy Kingdom Come 1t
will come when we lay aside our
petty differences, and urge relent-
less war against the sins of our time,

The Chorus.
By Charles NJ. Higgins.

The chorus.
By Charles NJ. Higgins
In all revivals of any Importance
the singing has played an important
part. Of course the preaching of
the word is first. 1t has proven true
here in Emmett. The chorus has been
a wonderful help in the. services. The
chorus of about 200 voices has been
a delight to me. They have taken
hold of new songs with as much ease
as any chorus have ever had. Though
not nearly so large as many of our
chorus choirs, yet they have rendered
very valuable service, and their sing
ing has been an inspiration to all The
juniors, my little brides so cheer
full and happy, are always delighting
the audience with their sweet little
voices They have endeared them
selves to us and we will always think
of them with pleasure. The orchestra
though not large in number has been
of valuable service and greatly APP
preciated by all. Then there are the
dear Highs" with their smiling faces,
so loyal and true l shall never for
get them. The High school chorus
here has been the largest have ever
had IN a town Of this size, and more
loyal bunch can not be found. No mat
ter how "blue", sick or tired one might
be when he comes to the tabernacle,
the Highs" smiling faces and cheer
full singing would soon make him for
get all troubles, and think only of the
God who forgiveth all sin, and fills
the heart with joy and song, and e'er
he knew it he would be joining in the
song, "I'm Happy in Jesus To-day"
The music has been great delight to
as, and in this work may we al
ways be able to sing from the heart,
I'm Happy IN Jesus Today

Some folks say they wouldn't take
all the world for their religion, that
it means more to them than anything

for few dollars for the cause of
God, things take sudden change,
and the dollar looks as big as wa
gon wheel.

The church will command the res

church members respect the church.
If you don't intend to live up to the
teachings of the church and respect
its laws, get out; don't disgrace the
church. If you want to serve the
Devil don't tie up to the church.
