a personal campaign by every per
son present to bring others TO sal
walton. Every Christian on God $
earth can win somebody 10 Jesus
and yet there are gray haired peo-
pie who are going 10 die without
making any personal effort" he
said
There are some politicians in this
town who are going straight TO hell
unless some fisherman for Jesus
catches them, some rich men and
some poor men," he declared.
When he asked that every person
who would make such d personal
campaign within the next "A hours
and, more than threc-fourths of
the congregation arose.
There is no substitute for prayer
and there is too much saying Lray-
err and too little praying" he told
the audience. composed mostly OF
women. present at the first after
noon meeting held at the tabernacle
Tuesday. The subject was Prayer.
a revival is not a meeting, or a
series Of meetings. II is the re-
turn Of God TO the hearts of the
people in answer TO prayer The
meetings, the preacher and the
workers are mere instruments striv-
ing 10 bring this about. II we are
20 have g. revival in South Bend IL
is 20 come in answer 10 the prayers
of the people"
Need for Prayer.
He stressed the absolute need for
prayer II the revival is going to sue
ceed here. There are enough peo-
ple here today TO pray God into the
hearts of all South Bend if we
actually Lray. We say we pray, yes
but when we go through a form OF
prayer we gain nothing II We dc
not take ourselves 70 the foot OF
Gods alter and talk to Him i'm the
impassioned voice which comes ONLY
through absolute resignation Of oul
lives TO His cause
"We don't need money primarily
TO make a revival a success. What
we need is prayer. Money all be
longs to God. He puts il in the
mines. from which we take it. II
is His in the beginning and YOU will
get all that you need TO make any
worthy thing a success If YOU pray
for It.
He made a plea that the people
give themselves in prayer that the
preacher might better carry on his
work. declaring that il is impossible
for the man IN the pulpit to give
himself absolutely 10 his work with
out the ST ritual cooperation OF the
congregation.
sam Jones said. The trouble
with You people is that YOU put your
preacher i'm an ice box and expect
him TO sweat When YOU hold alOOi
from the message God is trying &c
bring 20 YOU. when YOU refuse tC
unbend. there Is little chance for tn,
success of any revival. When YOU
give YOUR soul in prayer 20 Coo
there is no chance for n failure
