Evening journal., 1916-11-02

my being present want 20 take
this opportunity of stating TO you my
opinion Of the worth Of the recent
campaign YOU conducted in our city.
! Wilmington never made a better in
vestment for good results obtained
than the time, energy and money ex-
pended for the L0on meetings OF last
winter. Churches were uuickened in
to renewed activity the unchurched
we're enrolled in large numbers.
"A considerable proportion Is now
among the most reliable Christian
workers. Say TO the people Of Cam
den that we people OF Wilmington
hone the good results in their city
Will even surpass the splendid work
done in Wilmington. Praying Gods
richest blessings upon you and your
good work"
DR.. Lyon preached one Of his char
acterlsucally forceful sermons. He
took for his theme Where Art
Thou?" The singing OF the large
chorus choir and congregation was
effective. Many of the familiar tab
ernacle hymns, including Jesus In
cluded Me- "All Hall Emmanuel"
"I1l Go Where You Want Me To Co"
II Would BE Like Jesus" and others
we're sung. Members OF the Whining
ton delegation had their tabernacle
hymn books with them and on the
trip up and down the river the ma
jority gathered 10 the cabin of the
boat and sang many OF the hymns
DR.. Collins presided and offered pray
er. On the return trip a regular
prayer meeting was held in the cabin
OF the boat under the leadership OF
Dr. Collins.
The personnel OF the Lyon party
is slightly changed this year. Sing
ing Of Mrs. Grace Sutton Powell. so
prano, who is no longer with the
Lyon party, is greatly missed. How
ever. there are several new mem
bers OF the party and these include
the Rev. and Mrs. Earl Naftzger,
Merle P. Lyon, son OF Dr. Lyon and
Mrs. Edith Sutton. The tabernacle
is arranged similar TO the one cree
ted in this city last year with the
two large signs Make Christ King
and Camden For Christ" suspended
al the back of the choir loft. Il is
said that Dr.. Lyon and his party are
conducting a most successful cam
paign and that on last Sunday night
5000 persons were turned away from
the tabernacle being unable TO get
inside.
A delegation Of several hundred
churchmen from the fifth city district
Camden, also attended last nights ser
vice. Following the service the major
ity of the Wilmington delegation wen
forward to greet personally Dr.. Lyon an'
the members of his party. Cars wer'
waiting in front OF the tabernacle to taxi
the Wilmingtonians to the ferry afte
the service. The delegation left Phila
delphia at 1915 o'clock and arrived il
this city at y o'clock. Through th'
courtesy of the Traction Company car
were waiting at the Fourth street whar
10 convey passengers to their homes.
Sandwiches, coffee, pie. ice cream ant
milk were served on the boat. While
the trip which was the elimination o
an idea that was conceived here las
} winter while the Lyon party was here
, was not as successful financially as tn
committee had hoped, it nevertheless
{ proved a delightful trip and those VIII,
: went appeared to enjoy every minute o
d il. On the boat pamphlets entitled. 9TH
Great DR.. Lyon were sold They Ver,
I written by William R. Goslin, the SOM
I writer. On the back was n euloQisti
s poem entitled, 1--WE Love DR.. Lyon"
