At 10:40 whrn thf Mipvriit* Ltfnclent announced a sonj; the ontirt juditoHam, including the *ull*ry, SUed with pcopU — ypo^K. »d<llo yjl old. You should have heard with what enthusiasm thev sang the spirited hymn. The versatile ruperin Urndent, I was told, has a fresh and nslpfol closing program every Son lay. I haven’t lime row to spoalc of Ihe Interesting and Inspiring exer ts0* in dotail, but suffice It to say lhat not a second of t:me wgp lo.t or oooriy used. Everything seemed to Bare boen planned with such master v precision that no time was needed for apologies, and at least a half loxcn different persons were called spun to contribute something to pro gram, ia addition to rant memory work recited by the Junior Depart ment ami a song by the primary de partment. Ry this turn? the leport of the general secretory eras one the large blackboard, which required on ly a glance to get a record of the day a work. The secretary took onlv enough I'm. to call attention to tho fact lhat every officer and teacher was ptesent and on time except one, and that *he had notified one of the Associate Superintendent* on Friday before that she could not be promt 1 had hardly noticed the fact that the member* of the chjir had come light from their class rooms into the choir space, and no sooner had the superialendcnt finished his program than they began to lead the great con gregation. now standing upon their feet, in the ringing of the doxology. Immediately after thv pastor's invo cation tho tune* of the organ an nounced that there was to bo some special music, and I rat enraptured an tho male quartet sang, while “Heaven came down our souls tu greet. And glory crowned th* marcy •cat.” Other parts of the service were not very much unlike those in our own church, with one striking excep tion. There was a hymn by th* con gregation, Scripture trading and prayer by the pastor, announcements m«d« by ana «f the deacons, the of fering taken by some of the deacons who, witboat announcement, arose from their seat at Mr front and stood in a semicircle facing the pulpit while tb* pastor ted in a sentence prayer for God's blessing upon the gifts and the givers, an anthem by tbs well trained voluntary choir and anothc bymn by the congregation. Thun fol lowed what seemed to me moat fit ting: the pastor, without any prelimi naries, mads a five-minute talk to the large number of buys and girl-r present, basing it upon a most inter -sting stdty which he Uld with unu ,ual skill and simplicity, and than ->d on to it an approprlat* verse of dciiptuie which he had them to re peat with him in concert. 1 was told Hut nothing is allowed to interfere with this five minute ovriodx giver, to -hi; boys and girls each Sunday morn ing. and that the talks and programs or them are so interesting and varied .but not o&ly the young people, but -he older onus ax well, look forward to them with great eagerness. The pastor's sermon of twunty-flve minu te*, which followed srithoo: a brans. i1 was simple and ditae*. in its gospel 1 ippral. W. have ministers In Grand 1 Rapids who are morn eloquent and scholarly, but the IWiing I had that the Spirit of God was prevent, that the people w*r» praying for the mes senger of the hour and that the mes senger himself waa a man who lived dose to the Lord and loved Move to whom he was speaking, lifted me out of myself and brought me into blessed communion with my Hsavvn ly Father. When the hymn of Invi tation was being sung the twn young men who had made a profession in the Barnes Class and three young girls from the Junior Department frvoented themselves at randldatca or BapUsm and church membership Immediately following th* benedic tion many of the tsvn and woman who wore members of tho church glided hero ond there among the out going worshippers, searching out ond spooking ta stranger*. Thera waa no standing lit the pewa. waiting for oth er* to com* to them, nor did they lm mediately collect m group* and talk • nw/ uv in iov- • church back at borne. After the eon- ‘ giwgation had thinned out then the members began to qteak srlth one another. All the srhilo my good friend "Barnca Clam” ones had been Intro ducing me to the many who eamc oar wax. It was my privilege to take dinner with the rector and hli family in the newly purchased and well famished nattorlum White there I lee mod c number nf Intervoting things eanere ed with the chare>i life. I learned that uvviy officer and teacher In the Sunday School had studied and gamed aa examination an the "New Convention Normal Menial" published by the Sunday Seheol Board of the Southern Sap Mot Convention, and had received di plomas therefor. Fifty per coat of •bom, I was told, bava completed save* ether books of tbs teacher training courts sad ass tailed Rue Saul graduates.

Th* paster informed me ■hat he had led the SocYty in the tcmpletioa of taro mission study tourduring tho past year, and that be women of the church were unu malty w*U informed about th* pro r>«rg and the needs of mtaalon work »u the various field* Nor are these women idle with reference to the to tal work of the church. For instance, > committee Is appointed each month from on# of the eirrle* whoa* duty it is to pros ids for the decoration of Ih* church with flowers and plants. Others visit tho nick, look after new tomers and acck to enlist the indif ferent in the activities of th# church. Wouldn’t you Ilk* to belong to a church that has ia it so many work ing women? The church has a membership of f'80. There arc sixteen deacon* who, the pastor tells me, arc "tive wires". The church m*mb#r*h‘p is divided In to groups of forty so th*> each dra co i it made o sort of "big brother’’ :o and rcsponsibiti for t(jc spiritual life of forty of the membership, (la links himself with a similar commit Ue from the W. M. 3., and they ao constantly nurse and encourage th* Indifferent member* that they have -ordered indifference to a minimum. The pastor declared that a Rsptlrt family could not live ip tho city a m'ruiu WUDWUI * aozcn isuici ana at 'cart half the deacon* visit mg the home. AH of their deacon* *>e rogu '» ' Sunday School and prayer meet ing attendant*. They refuse to elect to that important office a man who do«* not attend thr service* of tho church and cooperate in all it* ac tivities With the exception of the pastor and deacon*, the officer* are elected annually. The deacon* are elected for a term of four yr*ir. mu that the teim of office of four dca .-on* expire* exch year. I inquired If they had any trouble 1 raining monoy for current expen se*. “Not the leant bit.” tho pastor rrpiird, and be outlined their plana Once eseh year an every-member canvass i* made by the Finance Com mittee consisting of thirty of the liv ed buvneta and profc>*io.m»l mm of the church. So well do they do their work that a weekly pledge to both current expense* and benevolence* i* secured from #0 per cent of tho en tire membership. If any of the member* are away from home or are living out of town at the time of the canvas*. the captain of each group the canvasser* use* the mail, tele phone and automobile until every single one k reached. When new member* are received into the church thr captain in whose territory the member live* vimti him within two weeks taking a package of; envelopes and u pledge read, explaining la de tail the financial lystem of the church. The offering* are brought to church each Sunday and arc taken '■i charge by the efficient Financial Secretary, who with the A sextant counts out and cheeks the money with the amount written on th* out side of the envelope. The exact a msunt run Irihuted by each person i* c edited on the socially prepared Fi nancial Secretary’* book, the money if deposited in the benk and two rhocks ant made—on* to the Trrae iirer of the Current Fund and one to the Treasurer of the Fund for Bene volence. Following the last Sunday n each month the Secretary make* >nt statement* for all thorn who are in arrears in their giving.

Tha two Sc-! »ior and two Junior a Y. P. U.’a are 1 doing a memorable work, all of them I having recently attained to the A-l! Standard. The pastor uyi that a; nSSr. .ceat °r young people will lead tn public pvay«r, and that lhcJ. mr* "*A Ktvatait allies in cb< work of personal ovangeUnm. Already my lc:ter is growing too long, hul tola day's experience hn« • iM-eu ono of the greatest of my life: am! I knew that you whom I so much love would be greatly interested in what has so deeply imprt*-seed-»e. | I must take time io xay just p void about tha evening; aervica. I was not altogether unprepared fot wi.ai rev oyei beheld when I entered the Uoov and was given a hand shake ard nown to a scat by one of the hull’ dozen courteous uaher*. I was at leaat fifteen minutes ahead of time, for 1 was anxious to mi« nothing ox | what might take place at wh*t >ccm-' ed to me to bo such a wondeHul church. Already the chu»ch wa* fast filling with the throngs of worship* who were anxious to gvt a good T-he ttihrea H'vit so plrntilM and capable that no time «u lost in getting the people seated. Tho pa nor bed already told me something of the “Big Sing” in which all tha peo ple took part on Sunday evening*. Two or tht be spirited hymns had been sung when the pastor announced '‘Puss Me Nut, (5 Gentle Saviour," and said, •*! want the audience to sing only the chorux. I Have arranged for the singing of the stanzas." im -—W V'V v.nau •''■gall U 1UU, ewccc prelude. In • mom«Lt a twi'd soprano voice echoed from the buck part of the gallery, "Fate me not, 0 gentle Saviour, Hear my humble cry," etc. The effect wa» electrical, when the chorus wa* reached the large audieneo was swept on a wave of prayer into the chorus, ••Saviour, Saviour, Hoar my humble cry," etc. now all waa deahtly still again. Then suddenly. Tar away, like some sweet Elf in a woodland comes the contral to voice on that plaintive prayer hymn, "Let me at a Uuone of mercy. Find a sweet reliefetc. Again it gccms aa if the chorus ia the heart *..<l 'jre'’er of every person in :h; room: ‘‘Saviour, Saviour, Hear my humble cry,” ate. The last stanxa ia sang by the soprano and contralto volet* ia perfect harmony: “Thou the hope of all my eomiort," etc. Again the audience take* up the prayer of the chorus: “Saviour, Ka vfour. Hear my humble cry," etc. While evuy head is bowed the pasta leads in a short but fervent prayer that not a single one present muy bt parsed by tonight, cod i am sate h'. prayer was heard and aaswcrvd if tho others prveent felt as I did. Other interesting parts of thr ser vice 1 shall have to receive to tell you whon 1 sec you, but 1 must say that the happy singing of thr Junior ..coius oi wuout seventy-live bny* and girls made me vdandcr if tho an gels even know how to msdee sweater marie. Following the direct end brief evangalietic appeal of the puslur there were five or six professions of faith. Folloering the benediction per sonal workers were seen here and Mean speaking to thr unsaved, urg ing them to a decision. There seemed to be absolutely no drones in this church. And now past midnight, here alone in my room at the hotel, I have been pundcring aa 1 have written to you the secret of the remarkable organi sation which baa furnished me a du> of so much help and Inspiration. To bo perfectly frank, I don't think it is due to any one cause. 1 remember tuat the pastor told men while I wa* in his home today that not oven the least of thr credit belongs to hia. lie spoke in flattaring terms of the splandid terms of ths splendid work being done by the associate pastor, a most capable and eonsarvative young womin who has been in the service of tho church during the post year, ia working oat many details, in sug gesting and applying new ideas, in publicity and advertising schemes; “But," said he, “realising that it is not by might nor by power, but My 8pirit, tala the Lord, we have dc- ^ ^^Msiliifca3BIB#®*^^HBsiaiiiaaa. - s'-—* g ndod ur.ft it 4i v.\*i>4li|» ol Ihe Spirit and .rmi to ci»r.f so do&e » in,* «• .. • n o mtai :iv;. csuu’a.
