night in the Y auditorium, the afternoon
services being given aver entirely to the
study of the book of Romans.
Miss Bennett, ably assisted by Mr.
Hnmmontree. conducted numbers of ser
vices daily for the pupils of the grades
at the South and North Schools, which,
also, included the pupils of the High
School. Many of our cmhildren learned
to know Jesus Christ in the past two
weeks through the efforts of Miss Ben
nett and Mr. Hammoutree, for which
we are profoundly thankful.
During the two weens euding Novem
ber 25, five hundred eighteen converts
went forward to take a decided stand for
Christ, this being an average of-forty
four daily.
iirr. Melvin Trotter i.< widely known
throughout the evangelistic world today.
He preaches powerfully and with con
viction. Mel Trotter, as we have learn
ed to know him. doesn’t preach down to
the poor man, he is not a religious dema
gogue, he is just n man among men with
his religion in his heart 3(o> days of the
year. However, he was not always thus.
In his early days lie became a drunk
ard, a brief .space of years finding him
in the slums of Chicago. Ilis mind defi
nitely made up to end his life. Ou his
way toward the lake he passed the old
Pacific Garden Rescue Mission, where
a few months before, "Billy Sunday ' had
been converted. He heard them singing
and when he stopped to listen, these
strains pierced his ears:
"Throw out the life line,
Across the dark wave,
There is a brother,
Whom someone should save.”
Mel Trotter stepped into the mission
aud was wonderfully saved. Since that*
night he has not wanted a drink.
Immediately after that turning point
in the evangelist's life, he went out to
tell the story of Jesus and His power to
save. Thousands have been saved through
his preaching.
“Mel Trotter" follows no lead except
that of his own urgent unquiet spirit, be
cause he has the whole burden of hu
manity's salvation on his heart and
mind, he (fives straight forward, deaf
to appeals, enemies cannot molest him,
parties cannot hold him. and creeds can
not limit him. He is like the wind that
"bloweth where it listeth.” If stagua
tion and death is discontented, then Mel
Trotter is one of the greatest assets of
our time. lie flings his bombs right in
to the stagnant recess of our thought,
and thrills the air with the spirit of nn

rest. Acquiesence and content vanish at
his challenge. That's what Mel Trotter
is doing by his marvelous message tha*:
he carries in a trail of tire, burning at
white heat, and flashing through the
unscrutable night in its unknown goal.
He stands before his audiences a fig
ure of singular faseinatiop, a symbol of
tbe world s passionate- yearning after
the dimly apprehended ideal, of its un
quenchable revolt against the agonies of
men, the remedy for which he has found
and which in lus turbulent way he is try
ing to give to men.
Sunday a free will offering was taken
for Mr. Trotter. No pressure was
brought to bear to raise a huge amount,
this being Mr. Trotter's request. Never
theless, .s<so was raised quickly, the peo
ple responding to the call for Mr. Trot
ter's expenses. Mr. E. J. Sharp, gener
al secretary of the Y. M. C. A., is to be
commended for his untiring efforts to
bring about a realization of his dream
of having Mr. Trotter bring the mes
sage to Kannapolis people.
Following a careful count of all au
diences it is estimated that over 25,0000
people have heard the message brought
by the Trotter party during the cam
paign.
