GREAT PREPARATIONS ARE BEING MADE
FOR WINDER’S MEETINGS ON APRIL 30TH
ALL the churches are shaping up their
forces for the April campaign.
The following article by Rev. T.
F. Calloway, who is to preach at the
First Baptist church, will be if interest
to all the co-operating forces.
The price, humanly speaking, of a
revival is:
1. Begin la>ng in Advance.
A year is not too long in which to
begin preparations. Certainly months
.are required. It is a fatal policy to
wait until the time has arrived and
then sit down and write some preach
er : “Dear Brother: We have decided
to begin a revival on the fliird Sunday
of this month. Please come aiul help
us.” A jumped up meeting is doomed
in advance to failure. It may prove
a comparative success, but its success
would have been vastly greater had
time been taken for preparation. Time
is a necessary element. Have the
church in conference vote to have the
meeting. This pledges the loyalty of
the members. It becomes “our” meet
ing instead of “your” meeting.
2. Secure the Right Preacher.
Next in importance to God in the
-meeting is the man of God in the pul
pit. A mistake here is fatal. Various
fields demand various types of men.
Fit your field. Above all, be sure that
the pastor or evangelist invited to lead
in the services is a man whose life is
clean, whose orthodoxy is unquestioned
whose methods are sane, whose cour
age is dai.jntless, whose belief that
'souls are lost is regl and whose com
passion is Christ-like.
3. l.iet Every Service Be Preparatory.
Especially as the time.for the meet
ing draws night the attention and
hearts of the Christians should be
focused upon revival themes. Such top
ics as The Holy Spirit in Revivals.
Consecration, Faith, Prayer, Personal
Work and evangelistic sermons on
Sunday evenings will do much to
wards' generating that atmosphere of
evangelism so necessarv to soul saving.
4. Take A Complete Religious Census
This census will mean work but it
is well worth all the work it takes. Ab
solutely nothing will mean more in
the preparation of a revival than this
census taken shortly before the time
for the meeting to begin. It will put
many to work for the coming meeting.
It will prove the most thorough and
effective piece of publicity that could
be given the services.
5, Arrange Neighborhood Prayer-
Meetings.
For weeks before the meeting begins
and especially as the day draws near,
it is an excellent plan to hold as many
praver meetings as possible in th * va
rLT sections of the church territory.
v nnK l >. raver ‘meetings not only put
church members to work and
greatly advertise the coming services
irut get God’s people in that frame of
spirit and service so indispensable to
every real revival.
6 Organize A Personal Workers’
Class.
In every church is a handful of con
secrated men and women. These
should be organized into a Personal
Workers’ Class. Let them, under the
direction of the pastor study the meth
ods of soul winning before the meeting
begins. Nothing better for this purpose
could he done than for the class to go
through ‘Winning to Christ, by Ir.
P E Burroughs, or “How to Bring
Men to Christ.” by Dr. R. A. Torrey.
In connection with the sessions of this
clnas the unsaved of the community
could he lovingly discussed and prayed
for During the progress of the ser
vices thsi Personal Workers’ Band will
prove invaluable in dealing with the
interested. The pastor and ovangel
isf annot do all the personal work that
should tie done in revival services
7. Arrange for the Most Effective
Music.
It is hard to over-estimate the value
of music in evangelistic services. Mu
sic attracts. It inspires.
(a). Song Leader.
If n t all possible, secure a consecrat
ed, capable man to direct the music. It
is poor economy and a iiear-sight< <1
poiicv to arrange a series of services
without sonic* to make the music
most effective during the meeting.
(b) Song Books.
Have enough. A hook should tie
provided for every one prescut _
If impossible to provide a suffh lent
number of hooks, several of tlh- mas
familiar songs can he printed cm a caul
board so everybody can sing.
(c). Pianist.
Get a good one. A poor pianist will
kill the music and hurt the meeting.
A piano is better than an organ m re
td). Two Pianos.
Where two pianos are secured and
turned together it greatly swells the
volume and increases the efficiency of
the music. orfhestra .
Get as many violins, cornets, trom
bones and other instruments as possi
ble. Thev inject life in the music.
(f). Senior Chorus.
Get one person to be responsible fm
getting every other person who loves the
Lord and who can sing even a little
into the Senior Chorus. Quantity
counts more than quality in a revival
chorus. Have tli.* chorus thoroughly
organized before the time for tilt* meo,-
ing |logins. Officers of the chorus
> should be elected and everything to
generate enthusiasm in (the singing
should he (lone. A social gathering of
the singers just before the meeting be
gins will greatly help in creating a
choral spirit.

Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, March 9, 1922
(g). Junior Chorus.
The best possible person should
enroll every child between ten and fif
teen years of age as a member of the
Junior or “Sunshine” Chorus. This
Junior chorus is perhaps the one great
est adjunct to a revival meeting. The
children help wonderfully in the mu
sic. Better still the Junior chorus
gets the children in the plastic period
of their lives under the influence of
the services and from it will come
many who take a stand for the Lord in
the meeting.
8. See That the Building is in Proper
Condition for the Services.
Tn). CLEAN. The huliding should
be swept daily during the services. It
is hard to preach clean living in a
dirty building.
(h.) WELL LIGHTED. Dim lights
depress the spirits. A church, of all
places* should lie attractively lighted.
(c) COMFORTABLE. Atmospher
ic conditions must be reckoned with.
John Graham, a quaint Scotch preach
er, said he had been preaching fifty
years hut never saw a man converted
with cold feet. Fuel for the winter
and fans for the summer should lie
provided in abundance.
(and) ATTRACTIVE. Flowers and
other little touches that the hands of
the ladies can give the building will
make the people more anxious to re
turn.
!). Give the Fullest Publicity to the
Services.
“It pays to advertise” is a well set
tled principle ill tin* business world.
Churches do not need to advertise in
any competitive or spectacular sense,
hut in revival meetings they do need
to give tile fullest publicity to the ser
vices. Publicity can be wide and at
tractive; y£t dignified. The-commuui
ty largely judges the value the church
puts upon a series of services by the
extent of the publicity.
(a). PULPIT, Constantly, of course
should the coming meeting he kept be
fore the people by announcements from
the pulpit.

reads the newspapers. Keep wide-

awake, readable articles of the coming
services in the daily or weekly press.
(a). Large Streamer in Front of
Church.
A few days before the services be
gin and throughout the meeting a largo
cloth sign should he placed in front of
the church, or stretched across the
sidewalk announcing the fact and the
hours of the services. A similar stream
er placed in the business section of
the city would well lie worth while.
(and.) Placards for Posts, Fences and
Windows. —The church community
should he literally sown down just
before the services begin with .placards
about the meeting. When pormUKjd
they should lie tacked on every post,
tree and fence. Every window in the
business section should have a card
in it.
(e) EMALL HAND CARDS OF
INVITATION should lie printed to lie
distributed by the members of the
church in stores, shops, offices and on
streets. •
(f) HAND BILLS. On the day
the meeting begins a hand bill should
lie placed in every house announcing
the fact. Or better, ordinary shipping
tugs can lie printed with a word of in
vitation, placed over the door knobs of
every home and the hell rung.
(li) TELEPHONE CLUB. In sev
eral series of meetings clubs have been
organized of man and woman
who will promise to phone ten different
people each day inviting them to the
services. The effect lias bee ft electri
cal.
It is poor economy to attempt to con
serve on the publicity hill. It will
more than take care of itself in thb in
creased attendance and offering. To
cut down publicity is killing the goose
that lays the golden egg.
