letter I enclose a number of tract'
and call attention to the rcligioui
services and the Sunday School;
cordially inviting them to attend.
Two hundred and fifty-three re
l'gious services have been held—
exclusive of the Sundsy Schools, and
the Sunday night and mid-week
prayer-meetings.
As a visable result five hundred
and twenty-nine men and women
have jo'ned the Testament League.
Of this number three hundred and
-cvcnty-eight have accepted Christ
as a personal Saviour, and have
voluntarily joined the State Farm Re
ligious Association—the only sVmb-
lence of a church we have to offer
them.
My hardest work is with con
demned men, in the death cells.
There have been thirteen electrocu
tions this year, making a total of
ninety-eight since September 13,
1924.
I have held seventy-seven services
with condemned men, in the gloom
of the death cells this year. This
service is,—a. you know—entirely
voluntary on the part of your Chap
lain. I have often been asked why I
do this, sine* none of these men are
prisoner* registered here. My answ
er is: They greatly need help, and
“the love of Christ constarineth me”.
In the eleven years since your
commission placed a resident chap
lain at the State Farm three thous
and and forty-nine men and women
have joined the Testament League, 1
to became daily readers of the Bible, 1
and of this number three thousand i
and twenty-four have declared it to
be their desire and purpose to live
Christian live*, and have joined the
State Farm Religious Association. ;
In this membership are represent
ed more than twenty different de
nominations, all lined up under one
banner, to study the word of God,
pray together, and help each other
in an efort to live right.
The appeal which the Gospel makes
to men and women of all faiths, and
of no faith is as surprising as it is
gratifying. Interest in things spiritu
al and divine seems to deepen as the
years go by, but only eternity can
reval the extent to which men and
w-men have been helped to better
living.
