chasing for him any aggrandizement
This does not come in answer to MS
request nor because he is in need Of an
Introduction to the Christian forces Of
America, but first of all / am writing

great work and worth; and second be-
cause of my consciousness OF the deb
owe the Christian world to pass along
any good thing which comes my way
to advance the kingdom.
This is not the first time we have
heard Reverend Sk1pwith preach and

his magic songs and Irresistible Cos

Heretofore. I have regarded him as
THE average evangelist anxious for
numbers of which to boast and fat
contribution UPON which to live
Whereas, both Of these are essential to
successful Kingdom program, they
ire not the expressed objective Of this
great mans eervire.
Reverend Sktpwith is splendid,
Christian gentleman to have on tie

ter and the lofty ideals Of an Ameri'
can citizen. He is a Christian, not only
posse sing the witness within his own
breast but convincing all who come
in touch with him of the same. He il

Is a revivalist with the wisdom, gen

wills of many sinners have fallen IN
der his scepter of the Gospel duSing the
past week which gave us fifey-six hap
by souls to be fel'owshipped last Sun
day; a great numbrr OF whom we're
baptized the same morning. The Lora
has been with this great man in every
service, and the people are saying al
the clote of every sermon: "Th's was

AS I have said from the pulpit this
has been the most>restful revival TO me
