BUSINESS TALK ON
SAVING OF SOULS
Rev
,-Mr.' H. WeStough Makes
Way Straight at Calvary
Baptist Church.
Just': a. plain business talk, in which
the non-Christian world was asked to
take a retrospect of Itself,- accompanied
by sweet singing Af a cult persuasive
order, marked the evening at Calvary
Baptist church, lt Esst Eighth street.
where Rev. Henry W. Stough command'
ed the skirmish line thrown out against
sin. There was nothing of the old south.
era revival style. . Mr. Stough might be
mistaken for the head of some promt'

demeanor wera studied. His evangel
istic singer, C ' Henry Collsson, high
tenor In one of , Philadelphia' beet
church quartets, was In keeping with the
new order of conversion.
Mr. "Btough did not ask penitents to
eoena forward at the close of his serv
ice; the evening waa devoted to laying
the foundation for future work. The
large choir waa drilled after the service
by Mr. Collsson, and the els or seven
pastors of tha district who will attend
the service held a long conferenoe with
tb leader on tha work of the week.
The church was well filled, and the
corps of ushers and assistant had been
chosen from churchman of the entire dis
trict assigned to Rev. Mr. Stough. All
denominations Joined hands In tba move
ment, and there was no difference la the
degree of seal shewn by any. A half
doses pastor act as aa advisory beard,
backing the work of toe evangelist la all
reepecta and directing aa their long local
experience prompts for more efficient re
sults. r

and soon there was a crush-
Mr. Pugh began the opening hymn.

halt a dosea time. . .Between each verse

The service opened with song by tbe
choir and congregation, followed with a
prayer by tba Rev. Mr. McClelland. Mr.
Dickson then rendered a solo, "Labor
