Fifty-thousand sailors are constantly
in training in Waukegan, 111., the

The Rev. J. G. Eller. of El Pa.-o.
111., one r.f the popular pastors and
Endeavor workers of the Illinois

a valuable asset to a congregation.

Conference session of the M. E.
Church at York next week. He at
tended the State and the Interna- 1
lional C. K. Convention at different
times. For four years he was secre
tary of the Illinois Conference Key
stone League of Christian Endea
* or and for six years he was its presi- ;
dent. During the past years lie]

deavor highly, and to know it as one'
of the strong organizations of the
church.

tian Endeavor recently, which in

DO YOU KNOW THAT
Christian Endeavorers may feel a
j pardonable pride in the fulfillment,
'of their prophecy that America
: would he "a saloonless nation by'
| 192O?"
John Wesley, the founder of the 1
' Methodist Church, said: "Make r.ilj
.the money jou can honestly; save
jail you can prudently; give ail you I
I can possibly?"
j "God can bear you if you say vour
j prayers in bed." But liow manvj
! persons are too lazy to say *heirj
i prayers and put themselves in a'
i humble position before God?
Market Square Presbyterian En-
I deavorers are planning for a caraou-
I flage to be held October 31st?
! FIVE POINTS ON THE TOPIC
Topic: "Lessons from Favorite
I Hymns." Arts 16; 22-25; 2 Chron.
5: 11-14.
"Brighten the Corner Where You
; Are" won a Chinese laundrvman. and
i he sung >t again and again in his
j fearful fight with the opium habit.
According to 2 Chron. 5: 11-14.
are "Choirs" of modern origin?
Tf you would sing well, turn your
• face to the l'ght—the light of God's
i promises, the light of faith and hope
and love.—Anon.
Probabiv "Rock of Aees" is the
1 most popular hymn in the Eneli-h
j language. It was a favorite of Mr.

MARKET SQUARE
RALLY DAY MEET
Plans Laid For Big Celebra
tion at pusy Down-town
Church To morrow
To-morrow the Market Square
: Presbyterian Sunday school observes
i Rally Day, Prom'otion Day, and Sc-r
--! vice Flag Day,—all in the Sunday
schools. It is expected that
I teacher will be in place, and every
! scholar in class. Children will be
j promoted from one grade to anoth
i er; aiid from one department to
] another. Some go from Kindergar
ten to Primary; some front Pri
mary to Junior; some front Junior
to Intermediate; and some from In
termediate to Senior. Then, a most
interesting feature of the day is the
| joint meeting of the Primary and
| the Senior Departments. The ex-
J trenies are to meet. The little folks
! are to unfurl their service ilag.
i Stars are on this flag for every
! father, brother of any child in the
j department. Some of these little
j folks are giving more than older
I otres, for they are giving up the fath
er whom they may never see again.
It is believed that the joint meeting
of these two departments will crowd
the room to capacity.
Following the Sunday-school hour
the congregation will assemble in the
auditorium where the minds of the
people will be directed to an up-to
date service, musical, devotional, and
worshipful. Dr. Hawes will speak
on "Some Modern Opinions About
Jesus Christ."

IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD
Evangelistic campuigns, revivals,
protracted pr prayer-meetings, what
ever title ib given to the work of the
salvation of souls is the great busi
ness of ihe church and its work
ers. Long before the great Welsh
revival in Wales, the great World's|
Fair campaign and many others,
the church of various denomina
tions lias held similar meetings and
they are continued to the present
day. The devil and his gung have
waged the most bitter opposition and
persecution and his work is only be
ing more and more exemplified in
the war with Germany. The church
is a saving station and an agency
in spreading the gospel throughout;
the world.
Synonymous with the name J.
Raymond Heniminger in recent cam
paigns, goes the word "Power".
There is a wonderful power and in
spiration in the music of big chor
uses of gospei singers which Prof.
Hemminger directs. At first glance
one is visibly impressed. As lie
takes his place on the platform, fac
ing the choir, his big powerful build
inspires confidence—he is the dyna
mo which radiates energy into each
member of tne choir, every nerve is
tense and ready. The source of his
power is soon seen as he reverently
invokes Divine blessing upon the
singing of the morning or evening
for the salvation of souls. Then
everything is uttention, as, with
arms raised a genial, contagious
smile and a few words to inspire
confidence, you hear th familiar
"Come on now, choir, everybody;
together"', and away goes that choir, I
whether organized in a day or!
weeks' time, following him in every;
movement, as lie seems to be pump
ing some lift into theni by his man
euvers and making them perform
their best.
. The listener is thrilled; varied
feelings play tag up and down his
spine, no seems lifted of himscif
into a new element as the choir he
gins singing- "In loving kindness
Jesus came. My soul in mercy to re
claim." The tired worklngman is
rested, the jaded housewife and!
mother is refreshed; the young
people catch the thrill of action and
the dance music is cheapened and
forgotten. The contagion of "Prais
ing God" spreads until it's a case of
"Everybody's doing it". We fiegin
to understand the exhortation of the
Psalmist, as he calls on us to "Come,
sing unto the Lord, make a joyful
noise to the rock of our salvation."
One of the first selections that the l
choir teaches the audience is "When
I survey the wondrous cross, on
which the Prince of Glory died, My
richest gain I count but loss. And
pour contempt on all my pride."
We shall never forget those familiar
lines.
Between the choir of over 200
and sometimes 500 and an audience
of nearly 5,000, that mighty wave
of song would go up with a shout.
During the first appearance of
Evangelists Nicholson-Hcniminger
party In the Harris Street United
Evangelical Church and then follow
ed with oilier big meetings in the
Grace Methodist Church and many
tabernacle meetings throughout the
state and other places thousands of
people from this city and vicinity
were in attendance.
Prof. Hemminger, gospel singer
and director is a Pennsylvanian by
birth and his residence is in Car
lisle. The state has sent out many
gospel singers, among them Sankey,
Bliss, McGranahan, Towner and
others. Mr. Hemminger is of Chris
tion parentage and was converted at
about the age of 20. He was edu
cated in the Carlisle public schools
and Dickinson college and became
for a time, a teacher in the public
schools. All the while he was en
gaged in musical affairs. Hearing
different gospel singers, he desired
that he too might become a gospel
singer, and at home he developed in
to such a singer. He received an
invitation to join an evangelist but
it took him two years to decide to
do so. He finally launched out and
after one year in his own country
went to England where he had
a part in the great Torrey-Alexand
er campaigns in all parts of Groat
Britain. Later he became a member
of the Chapman-Alexander party on
its tour through Australia, New Zea
land, etc., as co-worker with Dr. W.
P. Nicholson. Mr. Hemminger also
assisted pastors of this state and
other states in evangelistic meetings
ith great success and now, his ser-
Ices are much sought after from .all
arts, to serve in this capacity. He is
