Such was the statement Of James
r. Walker. advance man for Billy
sunday. when this question arose
at IL meeting Of the secretaries OF
the church committees, held last
night in the annex OF the seventh
street Christian church.
Instead OF having "sclcct''

matter will be left 10 tho individ-
tiuls and all churches attending
the meetings will be expected to
do his or her share OF personal
work. This plan has just been
inaugurated In tho Sunday meet
inRs recently and II has been
found that better results can be
accomplished by this method than
the old one Of the designated per-
sonal workers. -a .,.,s,
M. WALKER stated that In for
