Of John M. Scott, Of Wheeling, general
superintendent Of the West Virginia

versions himself. In opening Mr..
Scott stated that he had a severe cold
and his remarks would be brief. I'D
rather be here tonight leading this
body Of men than be elected president
of the United States. He gave his
heart to Jesus in the Bromley cam.
paign at Grafton In 1914 and he has
had more real JOY since he has been q
Christian than all the years combined
prior to the time Of his conversion.
Thanks to the Master" he added, II
would like to see every railroad man
and in fact every one in the house be
on the Lords side" Mr.. Scott said
that the same mail in which he re.
ceiyed the invitation to come to Fair
mont also had another from q church
that is holding revival meeting at
Holloway and a second at a church in
Wheeling, which will take place in
March. Men who are not affiliated
with the church can hardly look for
the respect OF their wives and Chill.
dren. He made 1t plain that 1t pays to
be out for the Almighty.

Lord wanted to describe perfection he
did not call an angel from heaven, but
