C.L.. CO0DELL IS
 FAM0USSPEAKER
Will Conduct Evangelical Meet
 inSs Here Next Month

Rev. Charles l.. Goodell, who will conduct preaching services here in the two weeks beginning Nov. 30th and ending Dec. 3rd, is the executive secretary of the Commission on Evan gelism of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America
 His work is within the churches and as defined by him is simply to furnish what inspiration l can and such suggestions as occur to me to stimulate the pastors and members to do the work for which they them selves were called into the ministry and the membership of the Christian Church."
 He is a man of perhaps fifty years Of age, sturdily built, with a pleas ing voice and a commanding pres ence. He impresses new acquaint- ance as a man of quiet force, sure of his cause and with assurance of his success. He has cause for any assur- ance in the results of his first work as pastor of Calvary church in New York. He received into membership at one time 364 persons, the largest number ever received into a ProteS- tant church at one time. Wherever he breaches his churches are crowd ed. On October 22nd, he addressed 2,900 members of the Business Mems clubs of the Southern states, and since that date he has addressed great audiences at the Presbyterian synod at Tyrone and in Boston. His New Britain engagement is the only one of such duration that he has made since taking up his present work.
 Dr. Goodell is an evangelist of the highest order. He has no set meth ods relying upon the people upon the ground to make suitable preparation tor his coming and for the conduct of the meetings. He prefers as mu- sic the hymns hallowed by long use and found in any church hymnal, with a good leader. As a rule, the pastors take charge of the preimin- ary stages of the meetings and he makes the address. His strength lies in the message he delivers, His abundant faith in .the truths he de- ciares, and in the forceful, eloquent, convincing character of his delivery.
