REVIVAL SONGS
WITH LOTS OF VIM.
Big Chair Being Organized
BY Prof. Ralph E.
Mitchell.

How do we live at homer" was the
query OF Prof. Ralph E. Mitchell last
night at the beginning of the service
in the NJ. p. Temple. Do we wear our
religion only in church? Shine for the
Lord where you are, whether in
church, at home, in school, factory,
store, everywhere in our daily life.
Shine, shine Just where you are,
Shine, shine just where you are,
Send forth the light, into the night,
Shine for the Lord where you are.
Everybody sings this little song
with an amount of energy and vim
that none of the other new songs
brought here by Prof. Mitchell seem to
inspire, although there are several
music of these reviyals, started in the
Methodist Protestant Temple Tues
day night and soon tosbe moved TO the
First Presbyterian church promises to
be one OF the great features
Rev. Arthur Gee began in an un-
usual vein. After the Lords prayer
and that other great prayer, the 2Sd
Psalm, he asked, What is the first
Deatitude?" After several attempts
woman, gently correct, answered.
Give the first verse of the Psalms, was
the next command. A man this time
beat all the woman to it. Give your
fayorite quotation, was the signal for
rapid fire Of answers. Here one
heard,o one after another the voice of
"the youth in life's green spring and
him who goes in the full strength OF
years, matron and maid, the sweet
child and the gray-headed man" each
with a quotation from the Psalms,
John, Isiah, Proverbs, or other favor
lite books. How it carried one back to
the good old Sunday school days when
one answered roll call with quotation
which was seldom forgotten in after
years.
Lift up your eyes and look on the
fields; for they are white already to
harvest" was the theme of Rev. Gees
discourse. Lifting up the head is
good for the lungs, digestion, and gen
eral health. Standing upright is a
position of readiness. The person
who looks up has a far vision, and
can beyond the gross material ques-
tons of fodo, oil, gas, and other things
that have to do only with our physi-
cal well being. Get far vision. he
urged, catch the glory of the Son or
God.
DR.. Gee aptly illustrated his plea
to those present to bring friend or
neighbor to the services, by a story OF
how John Wanamaker, once asked all
the pupils of his Sunday school to
bring brick each to church and a
short time afterward received a bill
from the owner of a brick yard for
several wagon loads of his product
This then gave Prof Mitchell his cue
for another of his little iingles of
which he SENS to have an inexhausti-
BILE supply. s.-....
You bring the one next to you,
And III bring the one next to me.
In all kinds of weather we'll all work
together,
And see what can be done.
You bring the one next TO YOU.
And I'LL bring the one next to me.
In no time at all, we'll have them all
So win them, win them one bv one
Arrangements are being made for
