cheer for the man who wrote it,
The cheer promptly followed.
MT. L1llenas then led the chorus in
the singing of this hymn. Later, an
other we'll known hymn by the same
writer. Lime up for Jesus was sung.
The evangelist in the course of his re-
marks, told how the latter song came
to be written.
We were holding meeting in
Lincoln, Neb. I was the speaker and
Brother Lillenas was the singer and
1t was the first time we were to-
gether. At the close Of the sermon /
cried, All men in this city who are

asked how many had lined up at the
meetings to date and another sea of
hands appeared in the tabernacle. Be-
fore the sermon, Haldor Lillenas
sang a solo.
