REV C. R. STETSON DISCUSSES
METHODS TO BE USED AT

quire dose of strong medicine. This Is
the phrase used by Rev. c. r. Stetson.
and chairman of the committee in charge
Of the preaching mission to be held In
the Episcopal churches OF Washington
during Lent. in answer to criticisms
voiced by certain members Of the de-
nomination in regard to the proposed use
Of Moody and Sankey hymns during
the course of the mission. Some OF the
methods. for instance, of Billy Sunday
are admirable. according to Mr.. Stetson
who thinks that the church should use
every lawful and honest. means to carry
on its work of spreading the gospel. No
Tom Thumb weddings" ventriloquists
or cartoonists, however, will be either
heard or seen in any of the churches, he
declares.
"A great many people seem to be very
much AFRAID that the Episcopal Church
in the. coming preaching mission is going
to do something undignihed and incom-
patible with her traditions" says Mr..
Stetson. Letters have come to Bishop
Harding and to me expressing this fear
ana urging that nothing sensational or in
any way approaching sensationalism and
the methods of the reviyalist be allowed.
l suppose the impression has gone
abroad that something startling is to
take place, because of the announcement
that certain Moody and Sankey hymns
are being sung at these mission services.
''It may be news to some of these OBJ
jectors that these hymns have been in
corporated in a mission hymnal that was

the comfort of the homeless men who

that about twenty yards will provide
for more than dozen beds in this re-

examples Of a minority succeeding
through the help of God. and in each
case the four factors mentioned may
be recognized as the vital elements in
the issue There was Noah, laughed at
for building the ark on a dry plain;
there was Abraham. who left his rela-
tives and family and in his old age was
rewarded in founding a new nation;
Moses. leading a defenseless camp of
wanderers through the wilderness, and
facing the revolt of all Israel against
him and God; there was Joshua. alone
with Caleb of the twelve spies sent,
reporting favorably of the land and
Israel's ability to take it, and ultimate
ly rewarded with the honor of leading
Israel into the promised land. Then
there was David, driven into hiding by
Saul, and Daniel, daring to stand alone;
and there were the disciples at Pente-
cost, facing threatening mob and
seeing it transformed into a multitude of
willing hearers and earnest seekers
after truth.
The last 1000 years also furnish many
illustrations of the power of the minority
to overcome great odds. in all of which we
find the factors described above to be the
essential elements Of success. The lives
of such men as Savonarola,l Bernard of
and D. L. Moody furnish examples

The Mystery Solved.

Il we examine closely the passage
cited as reference. we will discover
the four factors. which transformed
Gideon's weakness into strength, and
brought him to success in spite of the
great odds against him.
First, Gideon was, sent of God, who
said to him.: Go; have not 1 sent
thee?" This was his authority-his
call to service. He was called to this
divinely appointed task as clearly as
was Moses. or Samuel, or Saul of Tar
sus. or the man Of today who is ap-
pointed of God to teach or preach or
Second. Gideon was assured Of the
power. God said: Il will be with
thee" and Gideon was conscious that
this and this alone was the source of
his strength and success: and this was
the meaning of the command: Go in
this thy might"
I. The third factor was the presence of
Jehovah. The Lord said unto him
Surely. I VIII vii be with thee" The
all.important element of success in the
accomplishment Of what to man alone
was impossible. : : =
And the fourth factor was, the prom
Use of triumph. Thou shalt smile the
Midianites as one man. and thou shalt
save Israel" This promise Of success
must have meant much to Gideon i'm his
undertaking.. Strengthening his faith
until it stood the test of reducing his
army from $4,000 to 800.
These four factors-the consciousness
of Gods cali. Of Gods power; Of Gods
presence and Of His promise Of triumph
