OF business mems groups, business
women and girl groups. the junior

students' department, the personal
workers. and the Bible study class.
- We have our work so organized
as to cover all phases Of city life. all
classes Of men, women, and chill
dren. 1t Is a stupendous task to ar
range for q campaign like this. I
feel that have accomplished q great
deal on my first visit to Washington
In connection with the campaign
here"
Enthusiastic Over Results.

Big Men Behind Campaign.

will come to Washington.
Chip on the Old Block.
Young Sunday Is what folk down
the country call "the splitting image
of his daddy" The facial resemblance
is most remarkable. But for the fact
that the sons face is more youthful
and chubby, one might be pardoned
for mistaklng him for his father. In
stature, breeziness, OF refreshing per-
sonality, expression OF his eyes and
features, in the warmth of his greet
ing, geniality, cordially, and appre-
citation of interest shown by others
in the evangeIistic campaigns, young
Sunday is exactly like his father. He
gesticulates like his far-famed parent:
he emphasizes his words by pounding
desks and tables and he moves fur
niture about the room as he restlessly
PAGES to and fro. But be never misses
a word anyone says to him, and he
never appears uninterested.
Full of Enthusiasm.
He is just,choc full of enthusiasm
over his fathers work and has a su-
perabundance of what is called pep"
when 1t comes to making arrange
ments for a campaign or talking with
anyone who has questions ask or
suggestions to give.
He Is solidly put up, athletic look
ink youngster about twenty-one or
two years old, all energy, life, and
vim. His personality is most genial
and wholesome, and when one listens
to his enthusiastic talk one Is some
how made to feel that a great deal
is being missed by everybody not
connected with the work the Sunday
family is trying to do.
Happy to Follow Father.
Certain 1t is that George A. Sunday
would not trade places with anybody
else in the world, for he said so, and
