Efficiency" is written large over the
Texas plan. 1t was organized last
Summer at a meeting in Dallas, by Rev.
Glenn Flyn, of Beaumont. and was fol-
| lowed by preliminary meetings for or
ganization in September and Decem-
Der, and notable ''Inspiration meet
ing" at the beginning of March in Dal-
las. In addition to the General Com
mittee, publicity committee, with W.

named, and a finance and programme
committee also, with o. F. Sensabaugh
as chairman. A special department
for the campaign was opened in the
Texas Christian Advocate.

Laying the Lines.
After the bishops and presiding ell
ders had given their endorsement Il
the project, and it had been learned
that the churches were sympathetic, +;
schedule like this was laid down: AL
the preachers meetings engaged t,
give the win One" campaign right o
way. January was set apart for spe
cial preparation by the preachers
February was made the month for or
ganizing the laymen and setting nj
efficiency and increased attendanc,
campaigns in the Sunday Schools ant
Epworth Leagues. A religious census
of the community was included. 4
special drive was to be made TO
church letters which newcomers hat
failed to present April 16 was Sc
apart as Decision Day" and Go tt
Church Sunday"
Reports indicate that in the NOR,
than thousand churches affected
there already has been a great stimulu
of interest. Church members get far
ther by having something to do thai
by merely being preached at. The en-
listment of workers has been no small
task, but 1t has already been equiva
lent to a revival for many congrega
tions.
The conviction that a church and

fixed compensation, determined in
advance by the churches.
In the meantime, into a field of
heated discussion, anxious question,
ings and fearful solicitude, the Metho-
distS of Texas have precipitated on a
large scale, a method of evangelism
that holds promise of large results;
and may be the way out for the future
This is the simultaneous campaign in
all the churches, with pastors as
preachers, and with the win one"
plan.
This is similar to the Simultaneous
Preaching Mission which the Episcopal
Churches all over the land have been
using. Local congregations in many
places have adopted it: the First Pres
byterian Church OF Houston, Texas, is
taking in six hundred new members
this year by the win one" idea.
Team Work on Large Scale
But it has been left for the six an
nual conferences of the Methodist
Church in Texas and New Mexico to
adopt the scheme on a large scale, and
to systematise 1t effectively and bring
it to a climax. April 16 is Decision
Day" with the Texas Methodists, and
the following Sunday, which is Easter
is set for the great ingathering
Publicity, with its telling slogans
plays a considerable part in this latest
evangelistic movement, though 1t lacks
the personal flavor of the write-ups OF
professional evangelists. Thus 1.-The
goal of the Texas campaign has been
widely advertised as "One Thousand
Revivals Conducted by One Thousand
Preachers simultaneously in One Thou
sand Churches and One Thousand De
cision Day Services on Sunday, April
16, and One Thousand Big Glasses Re
ceived Into the Church on Easter
April %, 1916"
Because the Methodist ecclesiastical
machinery is well adapted to produc
ing concerted activity within a speci
fed time in behalf of any given cause
it has been possible to organize and
drill the huge force of Methodism ir
Texas for this evangelistic objective
Putting 1t Up to the Preacher.
One common complaint against evan
gelistic meetings is that they idoliz'
| the evangelist, who is a bird of pas
sage, and that church members are
! led to make invidious comparisons be

evangelists make more converts fol
themselves than they do for thu

their own evangelistic meetings is per-
haps the greatest contribution of all.
If the Texas meetings this month bring
forth the expected results, it is newt
able that the plan will spread to all
denominations and to the whole coun-
try.
For two things are assured: The
Church is newly aroused to the import
ance of evangelism. And equally, the
Church is discontented with present
methods of professional evangelism.
