This aside from the moral benefit TO the tommun-

As to the charge that Imported evangelsm" is
obsoete-thers is this to be said. No community
would consider having a great religious campaign
on hand all the time. 1t would be physical,
spiritual practical impossibility Many local people
thought, in fact that the Sunday campaign followed
that of Lyon rather too quickly for it to be fully
effective. How ever there comes a time in every
city small great, when there is imperative need
for a moral awakening, a spiritual quicRening.
There Is need OF things to be said and results to be
attained, that local ministers cannot, or dare not
attempt 1t takes fearless outsider with great
spiritual baptism to accomplish the needful aad it

This moral shaking UP Is imperative as

filth from the streams, carries the dirt out Of the
atmosphere is necessary to life and health, and a
great religious revival is just as necessary at in
terYals.
Nc one will deny that there is much false
stimulation in these campaigns This is TRUTH but
that they are Ineffective is untruth. Take out of
the church pews in Fairmont the members that were
gained in the Lyon and the Sunday meetings and
the city would lose moral influence that would be
staggering! Many have fallen by the way side out

DIR. 1oRENz AND HIS WORK

HERE has been much bitter argument over the
j question raised by the medical profession about
Dr. Lorenz and his work here in America. Tae
refusal Of the Chicago physicians to recognize him
started a public uproar that almost resulted in the
departure of Lorenz for Austria, and many unjust
and unfair accusations were made not only against
the famous surgeon by those who were antagonistic
to his presence here, but against the American
medical profession by those whose sympathy was
with the visitor.
The last word on the subject comes from DR..
Charles Mayo himself and will have weight In this
country not only for its expression but because
Dr. Mayo is perhaps the rSost widely known surgeon
IN America, and his opinion is one that receives
attention when he chooses to speak.
DR.. Mayo thinks that tho American surgeons
will find their greatest opportunity in the held
which has been opened up by DR.. Lorenz The
publicity attendant upon the presence Of Dr. Lorenz
has penetrated every class of the American
people, and the resultant response has been over
wAelmingly in the number Of cases that have been
revealed Dr. Mayo says: What do know and
what every other medical man in the country must
realize If he stops to think about It,, is that the
publicity attending DR.. Lorenzs work in New York
and his projected tour Of the country is bringing,
or Is bound to bring into light thousands OF cases Of
crippled children whose infrmtIes, partly through
Ignorance or feeling of hopelessness on the part
Of their parents have hitherto been hidden from
the doctors and hospitals of their communities
Naturally, hundreds Of these cases are by TIER
nature or through neglect, ncurable either by
Lorenz or by any other surgeon but there will be
other hundreds Of cases that will not be hopeless,
and that will, because Of aroused interest be put
into the hands Of the American doctors for treat
ment

1T HE Federated Council Of Churches OF Pitts
Z burgh, according to their secretary, Rev. c. r.
zaniser have reached decision that hereafter they
will not encourage nor lend support to imported
seyangelists. The reasons for such action are de-
cared to be that campaigns Of the Billy Sunday and
Gypsy Smith type too high priced, too much
commercialzed obsolete, false in stimulation and
Ineffective This Council representes about 800
churches in Allegheny County. OF this number, the
three leading Presbyterian churches, including
Reverend MaitIands First Presbyterian church, did

Council.
Having had in Fairmont two OF these evangelis-
tic campaigns conducted by imported" evangelists
Il seems that such objections are raised by this

body that would be expected to base complaint upon

strongest stress upon the financial part, Fairmont
can certainly be said not have suffered from the
expense of these campaigns. The church treasures
did not suffer In support Of this statement, the
1Iocal church having the largest congregation in the
city ran ahead Of its estimated budget nearly two
thousand dollars In The year ending last fall which
included the weeks of the Sunday campaign This
money poured into the church over and above the

times daily for six days out Of the week, speaking
for period Of time ranging from one to two hours,
