Favorable reports were received at
the noon-day luncheon at the Y. M.
G. A. incident to. the Personal Work

ported that they had made personal
calls upon number Of Of the un-
saved men and in many cases they
promised the personal worekrs to at
tend the services. OF course there
were some hard slellsr collided
with, but practically everyone report
ed pleasant interviews with their
men.
With the great drive on for many,
1t is assured that there should be
some telling results within the next
few days. One man told how IL one
man was saved Tor christ he was GER
7taihs TINT his:t fpf hers would be-
come AFFILIATED With the Church Of
Christ. &,
The address today was made by
Prof. James Heaton, the popular lead
er of the singing during the revival
services In, the First NJ. q. church. In
the outstart he stated that he would
be brief as time was a valuable asset
at the affairs. It's q great meeting
here in Fairmont," !" said Mr.. Heaton.
All Of US agree that a great deal Of
good Is being done. We recognize
the need OF more aggressive work In
the campaign, however" With his
customary wit, Prof. Heatoni told a
story Of the difference between tact
and contact, which forcefully empha-
sized his statement. He pointed out
what q great influence the conversion
of certain prominent men in COM
munity would mean to the religious
sphere Of the community and how
other men would follow because they
were leaders among men, as 1t were.
The next few days should bring
about some excellent results. He
told how the gatherings Of the per-
sonal workers had put q spirit into
campaigns of DIR. w. A. Biederwolf at
Salt Lake City, and other cities, when
things began to lag slightly. In the
six years that he led the singing for
DR.. Biederwolf he stated that he
knew OF no town that so many men
numbered among the personal work
lers as was apparent in Fairmont ct
yesterdays and today's luncheons.
He was satisfied that from this mani
festation there wa sa great interest In
the campaign and that the men were
loyal to their pastors.
