Camps In the United States. After n
successful administration there, he and
Mrs. Scoville departed 10 reenter the

1919. Since then DIR. Scoville has held
several campaigns, his work since the
war meeting with even greater enthu-
siasm than before.
Besides his activity In the Camps
DIR. Scoville supported every worthy
movement that was launched toward
winning the war, and wherever he
went, was pronounced 100 per cent
fighting American, 50 long ms that
fight was against the Hun or anybody
who would emulate the Huns example.
No less tireless was Mrs. Scoville, who

ually sings wherever he breaches. IL
is said she is quite as potent factor
In his success as he il himself. Besides
her singing, she labors among the girls
and young women. In appearance
Mrs. Seoville is little more than a girl.
Advance reports OF DIR. Scoville are
deep chested, iron jawed,
red bl0oded, intensely human, mans
man. He Is said TO look like an indi-
vidual who Is ready for a fight or a
frolic and who could more than hold
his own IN either. His friends say.
however, that he fights only against
sin in his efforts to convert people 10
That he has a broad
sense Of humor Is attested In the state

DIR. Scoville insists that he Is first
a preacher OF the gospel-a mans

sweethearts and men friends OF the
women TO church and the women folks
will follow" he declares is his policy.
He believes many preachers fail to ap-
peal 10 men because they do not
preach gospel for men. His sermons
are pointed particularly for men and
at Nacogdoches, Texas, where he held
a meeting this last summer, seventy

DIR. Scoville is highly educated and
believes II wise for every boy to work
his way through college AS he did. He
has Travelled extensively, reads ex-
and keeps abreast OF cur

question OF national importance, IL he
thinks II affects Christianity and hu-
manity In general. DIR. Scovllle has al
ways preached that the principles of
as expounded by the Sa-
ylor will solve any problem, II properly
applied. Those who have been ac-
customed to hearing ministers deal In
platitudes and talk In a vein that the
average person cannot understand will
be amazed at how DIR. Scoville will ap-
ply the Bible TO the affairs OF every
day life as II Is today.
DIR. Scoville's personality Is one Of
his strongest assets. His huge, right
hand is ever ready to clasp the hand
Of another, and he uses both hands TO
lend a lift to any one who Is In need.
When he arrives In Deming, he may
be expected TO get acquainted with
everybody he Is able TO meet. There
Is no aloofness about DIR. Scoyille. He
delights In the company and friendship
Of people and there are no warmer adj
mirers Of uniformed men than he.
