FOREWORD The seventeenth of March, 1934, witnessed one of the most important events ever to happen in the history of the Practical Bible Training School. Upon this date Dr. john A. Davis, President and Founder of the institution passed away. Since Dr. Davis' death a feeling of inquiry as to the facts of his life has developed. In view of this fact, and in appreciation of this historic event the Senior Year Book, The Theologueu has this year devoted a large section of its space to an authenticated and informative life story of this great and beloved Christian educator. We prayerfully hope that it may prove to be a blessing and an inspir- ation to all who read it. We trust that they may, through a perusal of the same, catch a glimpse of the indomitable will, tireless energy, and splendid courage of this noble Christian leader.

On Melandy Hill, between Afton and North San- ford, New York, there is a farm. The water on the east of which flows into the Delaware River and on the northwest into the Susquehanna River, Here in a small farmhouse there lived a fine, Godly couple, Charles A. Davis and his loyal wife. They were highly respected through the entire region and had a large circle of friends. They always were recognized as line neighbors and ready helpers. Mr. Davis had two outstanding principles in life, the one born of his love for God-Christianity, and the other born of his service as a faithful soldier in the Civil War- patriotism. It was in this Melandy Hill farmhouse, john A. Davis was born on August 7, 1871. Few people knew of that birth, but many thousands, the world over were made to feel the influence of his life's work. He, and his younger and only brother, Alonzo F. Davis, while yet very small had many responsibili- ties of the farm and home to carry. From his earliest life, he had a great inclination toward things of a religious natureg and he was of 5 ,,,,-1 THE NORTH SANFORD CHURCH strong determination. The incident is told of a time when he had been visiting friends, whose custom it was to ask the blessing before partaking of a meal. In his own home, this practice had been permitted to fall into disuse. The first meal after his entry again into the family circle, the others started eating as usual without returning thanks. john asked, Papa, why don't you say something? At first the father tried to pass it off and endeavored to get john to eat his dinner. But the little fellow stub- bornly refused to eat until his wish had been com- plied with and the blessing asked. For some time the people of North Sanford and vicinity united in church worship alternating between the Methodist and Union Community Church. The Sunday School session was held in the same place that the worship of the day was carried on. The Davis family was very faithful in church attendance, but on some occasions the parents were not able to be present. At a very early age john was placed upon the back of a horse by the parents and thus rode to Sunday School. After the service was over some one would again put him on the horse for the home journey of three miles. When circumstances would not permit him to attend Sunday School he would get his mothers button bag, remove the but- tons, put them on the chairs about the room for his congregation and begin preaching to them. For two years, between the ages of eight and ten, he had a perfect attendance at Sunday School. The fundamentals of his education were secured in a district school, which he attended until about the age of twelve years. Part of this time he was under the instruction of Miss Russell, a woman of excellent Christian character, who instilled many truths in the hearts of the children under her care. The impres- sions made upon john at this time followed him through life. The man who was the first to take him to school has said, He was a' nervous little fellow. The boy full of life was ready for sports and he gave evi- dence of tact and leadership in spite of his being small in stature and physically weak. These were more than overbalanced by his ability to master prob- lems and lead others. Often he was seen with a group of playmates whom he had formed into regi- ments of soldiers with toy guns or sticks over their shoulders. These childhood characteristics followed him through life. He showed executive ability and had a great faculty for setting others to work and securing benehts from them. The following anecdote proves this trait in life. In john's play with others, they would often build stone houses. Much time, so john thought, was lost in digging the cellars for the play houses. Among his pets was a dog. He early discovered But as we were allowed of God Lo be but in trust with the gospel. even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, which meth our hearts. I Thess. 214. 10 He Lived F or OllJe1'f that the dog was a good 'ratter' and john would take a stick, scratch the ground and call 'Micel micel' The dog would dig into the soft earth and john would get his cellars nearly dug by the THE JOHN A.

In 1922, the village organized a day of renewal of acquaint- ance and festivity called 'lOld Home Dayf' Every year he made it a habit to attend. With the revival of interest in civil affairs and a desire to improve the appearance of the village, through discussion at one of these gatherings, a plot of land was acquired, beautified and developed, and to it was given the name 'lThe john A. Davis Parkl' as a tribute to the farm boy of Melandy Hill, who had gone out and helped make two blades of grass grow, where one had grown before. At twelve years of age a change came into the life of the youth. The family moved to the village of Afton, New York. This change was a step in God's training of this youth for His future work. YE MUST BE BORN AGAlN.', john 317. Upon entering the village, life was to have a new environ. There were new conditions to contend with and new acquaintances to be made. With the change came the advantages of a better school life. From a rural school to Afton Academy was an advancing step. Here he continued his education until he was about sixteen years of age. He was always recog- nized as a good student, alert and quick. Although john was very fond of sports, he cared little for hunting or fishing like many other lads. Base- ball was his chief game and he was found very active in this sport. Hours were spent on the field playing. One time he tried to join the town team but because of smallness of stature was not accepted. He decided because of this, to organize a team among the school fellows. He became one of the best players on the team and later captain and manager. While playing at Vallonia Springs, midway between Sanford and Afton, an interesting incident occurred. Mr. Justus Carr, a member of the band which was often present, ome and was e was laid as the games were well attended, went from his h in Nineveh junction to this particular contest was accompanied by his daughter Etta. john playing and was injured in sliding to a base.

He laid in a white baseball suit that was stained with blood. Among those anxious for a better view was this twelve year old girl from Nineveh junction. When she saw the wounded boy her sympathies were aroused and expressed aud- ibly. However, a year later she too, moved to Afton THE DAVIS HOME AT AFTON and there developed a friendship between them which with the advancing years, grew into that unfaltering love which continued through all the trials of the busy years and even through the sombre sunset hours. lp dovft hinder. He Lived For Others 11 Frequently Afton had special holidays and usually large crowds came. The merchants built stands A. T. England, fwho owned the block in the pic- ture on Page 121 had such a stand in the driveway THE AFTON in front of their stores to display their wares. These days were busy ones for clerks and merchants alike. On one occasion like this while rushed with business, THE SPRINGHOUSE AT VALLONIA SPRINGS ACADEMY - at the side of his store. Young john, who had a great liking for parades, was standing in the store door at a vantage point, from which he could see over the heads of the people and enjoy the occa- sion. Mr. England was only able to attend to those at the stand and so called to young Davis, john, get into the store and get busy. This was the be- ginning of a clerkship that lasted as long as the young man remained in Afton. The reports of this work with A. T. England revealed an industrious young man, pleasing the customers, and building up his employer's business. While not busy, otherwise, he was putting the stock in order. His energy and earn- estness was observed by other merchants with the re- sult that other positions were offered him. However, the clerk was true to his employer. He was a stead- fast, loyal worker for whom other offers, even with financial advantages, had no attraction. john and his parents began attending the Baptist church at this time. During the holiday season of 1889 the village was stirred by an evangelistic campaign, conducted by two student preachers, one being F. H. Divine from Colgate University, and the other W. Sholar of Hamilton Theological Seminary. They alternated in preaching. At this time john was in his later teens. 'ifThei'e is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. I Sam. 2:2. 12 He Lived F or 0lfJ67'J'li From the very beginning of the meetings he showed great interest and attended regularly. The Truth as given by these two faithful student evangelists seemed to grip him. Finally, he decided it was the right and manly thing to accept Christ as his Saviour and take his stand in the Christian life. He believed that Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Godfwjohn 315. He responded to the invitations of the evangelists, first, to be prayed for, and then to the more appealing one, to accept jesus Christ as a personal Saviour, His confession testi- mony was: While I have no special feelings, I am glad to give myself to Christ. I . H. DIVINE tseatk-fl! w. .1. suomxu menu Going forth from the church, he went to his home with the determination to live a different life. His very nature made him a zealot. The results began to appear in his influence and efforts on others. He had a passion for souls, a passion that vitalized faith, banished doubt, developed experience, and gave poise to knowledge and reason. On the following morning as he was putting the usual display out in front of the England store, the editor of the Afton Enterprise, Mr. Nelson Barton, called john to the opposite of the street, extended his hand and said, l'That was a noble stand you took last night. This brought such encouragement to his heart that he went back to work with a greater desire and determination to live a life that would tell for Christ. A few Sundays following this decision, january 26, 1890, a former pastor, Rev. B. Stone of Walton, returned to Afton to have a baptismal service for those desiring to follow their Lord into baptism and join the church. Among those in this class were john A. Davis, his father and mother, who had never been immersed in baptism, and ten others. y... , , - e .l..a,ft.....mi.,V V K K .S ' THE A. T. ENGLAND STORE AND BLOCK IN AFTON In spite of his leadership in some things john was very timid and retiring about taking part in service. He was faithful in attendance and to all obligations, but when opportunity was given for a testimony meet- ing he was rather backward and shy. Sometimes, however, he would muster courage to testify in the Christian Endeavor Society. He gradually grew into active service in this church, especially among the young people. 111 And The Word of the Lord Came unto Him Saying, Arise. jcmah 1:1 cmd 2. Changing fortunes led john A. Davis to take up his residence in Binghamton, N. Y., where he received employment in one of the large dry goods stores, then known as Fowler, Dick 84 Walker, or the Boston Store. He steadily developed and became a very etiicient salesman. Rather than have a customer wait, he was often found pleasing three and four at the same time. The proprietor said john sold more goods in his department than any other one had be- fore or has since. Whatever he did, he did well, put- ting his whole energy into it to make il successful and worthwhile work of it. He believed, What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. The Main Street Baptist Church about this time was newly organized and had many enthusiastic, con- secrated young men in its membership, who were on the lookout for every new member possible and for an opportunity for service. They took a keen inter- est in the newcomer, john A. Davis, and invited him to their services, and especially to the Christian En- deavor meetings, where he became very active. A re- Hcm your blessings with praise, lest they unravel. He Lived For Olherf, 13 vival spirit broke out among the young people and they were led into a desire for active service where they might witness for their Lord. The opportunity opened by going out to school houses in the sur- rounding country on Sunday afternoons to conduct services. One young man invited Davis to go, and so insistent was he that john consented. This par- ticular Sunday proved to be one of the most im- portant of Mr. Davis' life. As they were walking to the service the suggestion was made for a prayer meeting preparatory to the work before them. The new member of the party wondered where they might have this meeting as no building was in sight. One person pointed to an apple tree in a nearby field. This was a new proposition to john for he had never be- fore offered an audible prayer. One after another prayed and he knew it would soon be his turn, so sentences were formulated in his mind, but when it was time for him to pray, the prayer could not be recalled. At that very second a heart and life was consecrated to God. The Holy Spirit was given op- portunity to come in and infill him. From this time on, never was he hesitant to pray, testify, do personal work, nor did people have to look around to Hnd him for service for he was always ready. Someone has said, Prayer is the hinge on which the door of opportunity swings. Monday morning as he entered the store, a marked change was seen in his life. During the remainder of his stay in the store he dealt with the clerks con- cerning their souls salvation, and as he waited on cus- tomers he did personal work. He withstood much ridicule from many and he was called by some The Preacher, but never once did he give up. He went back to Afton and had services on the street corner, spoke to individuals in the home, on the street, anywhere in order to witness for his Lord. Most always he was seen with the Bible under his arm. His spare hours were devoted to Bible study, conducting meetings, and seeking opportunities to lead men to the Lord jesus Christ. He was being used so marvelously in the work that people sug- gested that he devote his whole life to that of being a fisher of men, but he waited the definite leading of the Holy Spirit. After much prayer and consideration, Mr. Davis felt a definite call to train for Christian service and to get a better knowledge of the Word of God. He resigned his position as clerk, which everyone thought a very unwise choice because of his great success thus far in a business career. Through acquaintance and association with men from the Chicago Evangeli- zation Society, he decided to make application there as a student. When he was asked how he was going to get there, he replied, By trusting God, At the :lose of his last day of work at the store, all the clerks were summoned to the basement. At this time they presented him with a purse of money. In spite of the mockery and scofhng at his Christian life every person was saddened by his departure and bowed humbly and thanked God for the blessing he had been in each of their lives. On April 19, 1893, Mr. Davis enrolled as a stud- ent of the Chicago Evangelization Society. It was the year of the World's Fair at Chicago. This year was probably one of the greatest in the history of that in- stitution. Mr. Moody made plans far in advance and secured men such as Dr. A. Gordon, Dr. john McNeil, Dr. R. A. Torrey and scores of others to speak and sing during this great exposition. In this way the students came in contact with these world- famed men. Meetings were held in large tents, theatres, public halls and churches, giving students opportunity for personal evangelism throughout the Exposition period. Mr. Davis, like many other students, was not able to pay his way through school, and so had to work. His first employment was scrubbing floors, and later waiting on tables in the dining room. Because of his alertness, he was given the honor and privilege of waiting on D. L. Moody and his guests. This was the crowning point in Mr. Davis' education be- cause he observed Moody's methods and characteris- tics. The things learned here were basic in the very principles carried out in his own work. At the closing of the World's Fair and the great evangelistic campaign, he left school on September 7, 1893, and started on his way home. This he did voluntarily to enter evangelistic work. He stopped at Kalamazoo, Michigan for a few days. During his stay he held services in one of the city churches. He was on fire for God and a real revival broke out and he was urged to continue. He stayed four weeks, during which many made confession of Christ and the crowds became so great that the edifice could not accommodate them. Witlioiit doubt this was God's approval of his work and he realized his call was to preach the Gos- pel. But the times of testing came, the temptation was to feel it had been a mistake to leave business, also that he was too young and with too little edu- cation. God's hand was guiding. A definite call came from China, New York, to conduct an evan- gelistic campaign there. He prayed that if God wanted him in this work, He would give unusual re- sults in this field. God marvelously blessed. Many a soul was reclaimed and saved. Continually invita- tions for meetings came from other places including Hancock, Deposit, and Binghamton, New York. Also an unsolicited call came from the First Baptist Church of Hallstead, Pennsylvania, to be its pastor. Mr. Davis, however, found time in his busy schedule to keep in correspondence with a young lady whom he loved. On june 19, 1894, he and Miss Etta Carr were united in marriage, and two hearts were bound together by God with a united purpose to be of service to Him. i'Tl1e Lord k'llULUt'lfl how lu deliiwr the godly out of lt'?IlPlitllU7lS, mid to rr'.wr1'i' lllr' Hlljllxl unto the day of judgment to be punished. ll Pet.

Environment was not the chief cause of the joy that flooded the hearts of the faithful little band that forty years ago met for worship in the old school house at Hallstead, Pennsylvania. When the cool evenings caused too much discom- fort at prayer-meetings, the small group sat around a stove with a cheery fire built by Deacon Amos Millard, whose lighted lantern furnished illumina- tion. Songs of praise were lifted, and the prayers for a shepherd to lead the flock were intensely earn- est. God heard and answered in His own best way, as He always does. In 1894 john A. Davis was called to the pastorate of this struggling church, with such, humanly speaking, unfavorable conditions. He began a strenuous work and kept it up. The Boy Evangelist had the faculty of enlisting the interest and services of many railroad men. He frequently jumped on cabooses and engines, to be- come acquainted with the men. Many of them are now in glory through the personal work of this Boy Evangelist, who, in the get-acquainted talks showed them their need of a Saviour, and how to make this 'sxwg v Q ..: w - ,..,c.,,,,j,5, THE HALLSTEAD CHURCH AT THE iNc1-11-T1oN oi' REV. DAVIS' PAs'roRA'ri-1 Saviour their Saviour. It became quite customary for those men to read their Bibles in their cabooses as the opportunity offered. The round house was a good place at the noon hour to go for a fewlmin- utes to chat, and there dispense lemonade and invite the trainmen to the tent evangelistic meetings. Men responded, too. It was true of Mr. Davis that he sought there for souls as he always continued to do. The young pastor made a practice of calling in the homes with telling effect, such as: Don't fail to be at prayer-meeting tonight. A great time is expected! Come early and bring your family. In another home: How about it? Are you willing, Mr. Blank, to quote a chapter from the Bible next Sunday evening? Again at some gathering: l'Let's To become wise, have a real Thanksgiving sunrise prayer-meeting. Everyone who can do so, please bring something,- either groceries or baked goods for those less fortu- nate than we, then distribute them among the shut- ins and needy after the meetingf' Enthused with this plan, the merchants in town contributed flour, sugar, tea, coffee, butter, and other staples. At each place a song, a bit of Scripture and prayer added to the Thanksgiving spirit. One lady attending the next prayer-meeting at the church, said she came to see what sort of folks were doing such kind deeds. Later she and her husband joined the church. Their boys also came to Sunday School. Friends brought to the sunrise meeting, turkeys and chickens enough to supply each of the fourteen bushel baskets with one. What thrilling and blessed sunrise meetings those were! The youngsters were also on hand to do their part. Isaiah 50:7 was a favorite verse of the pastor's: For the Lord God will help me, therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know I shall not be ashamedj' He was first, last and always, a zealous personal worker, Bible teacher, Evangelist and pastor. Never was he made uashamedl' when his' face wasiset like a flint, to follow the Lord's leading. To illustrate: There was ample evidence of the need of a church edifice. He and the men whom he interested, dug the ground for a foundation. At the same time of this excavating, men's hearts were cleansed of rubbish for God's service. They hauled stones and helped to lay them, doing anything and everything possible to erect this new structure. In the course of construc- tion, also after completion, it was a common thing for two or more men to be found at the church pray- ing. This was one of the happiest ways wherein God kept His word that He would not allow His followers to be Uconfoundedf' Steady growth was another, for many were added to the church. A spe- cial prayer-meeting was held the night previous to the dedicatory services, December 3, 4, 1895, asking God to lead the people to pledge 34,000 on the church building fund the next day. He did, and the 554,000 was pledged. Wliat a dedication this was! Christian activities were contagious in the com- munity. Soon the Presbyterians built a fine brick church. The Methodists, too, built an attractive house of worship. Good fellowship prevailed. Evan- gelistic campaigns were wonderfully blessed of God, souls were born again. Great was the rejoicing when drunkards were saved, and saloons lost much patron- age or were put entirely out of commission. The pastor, though young, glimpsed the sore tests that would come to such converts when they would draw their monthly pay, meet their old pals, be urged to aslg questions. He Lived IJ or Ollaerru 15 drink and gamble away the support for their families, the church, and payments due on their debts. What was done to prevent their yielding to such tempta- tions? PRAYER. Mr. Davis believed in helping to answer such prayers. Groups of ladies gathered at homes and earnestly prayed for the new-born babes in Christ, for many of the men were such. They prayed for others who had not yet entered the Hock of the Shepherd of souls. While the ladies were thus engaged, Mr. Davis would go to meet some of the railroad men who might be tempted of Satan to be led astray. Many a night did he walk the streets with them, linked arm in arm until the men reached home safely with their money still in their pockets. Evangelism was carried on in various ways. Mr. Davis inspired others, he urged all to go on to victory. Conviction was strong that each person, young and old, should have some part in both the worship and activities of the church. One who took school house or a distant church for religious meet- ings. In those days a Gospel wagon was kept busy to convey singers and speakers to distant localities for services. The choir was accustomed to meet for prayer and praise previous to each service and to in- vite those whom they wished to win for jesus Christ to be present! A credit to all concerned was the strong missionary spirit that prevailed among the church members. Mr. Davis had ambition to launch out into deeper waters for souls, but how could his presence be spared? Easily answered. God says in Isaiah 65:24 And it shall come to pass that before they call I will answer, and while they are yet speaking I will hearf' To prepare for such contingencies, Mr. Davis had certainly been divinely led in the early days of his ministry to take to himself an ardent Christian wife, a tactful, sweet-spirited, energetic, young lady with musical ability. Mrs. John A. Davis was warmly welcomed by all, and proved herself to be a most -Y -W V . , ,-7e,-.... ..,. ,..... .. -W . , ,ev W, ,W Y , , l l I THE HALLSTEAD CHURCH AT THE CLOSE OF REV. DAVIS' PASTORATE no part in prayer-meeting felt conspicuous. One lady said: A person told me that I would soon go back to my former lifeg but what is there to go back to? Nothing but husks compared to the joy and friendship of my Saviour and His followers. Thrill- ing reports were given in these services of divine power and grace to overthrow Satanis allurements. The baby organ was an important factor, for it seemed to say: I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, I'll do what you want me to do. That meant going into various homes with groups of enthusiastic young people for praise and prayer services, Bible study, and personal work. Again the organ accompanied zealous young Christians to a helpful pastor's assistant, She took his place in the pulpit when he was led of the Holy Spirit to go into other vicinities to conduct evangelistic cam- paigns. Then again some of the members would hold a platform service, or someone would preach a God-given soul-stirring sermon from his heart. Progress was marked in every department of the work of the church and with blessed results. How the parish and village was stirred one day as a young man ran his bicycle at top speed, that he might proclaim to his friends and neighbors the news of a new arrival in town, and at his home! A baby boy named Gordon C. Davis, a love-gift from God, had begun his life at the Baptist parson- age. Later this young child, and the home was But to us there is but one God, the Father, . . I Cor. 8:6. 16 He Liz-'ed 17 or Ofh6I'.i 'j blessed again when another son, Charles j. Davis, was given to the proud parents by Him who giveth every good and perfect gift. The pleased parents had much to tell the world about their boys. Those were happy days for the Davis family, yes, and for the community too. A Christian Endeavor society was soon organized and functioned successfully. On one occasion, thirty men were welcomed into it. Glorious times were continually experienced. Its membership was one hundred. One hundred boys and girls constituted the junior Christian Endeavor society. These or- ganizations had joyful and important parts in the church activities. They stood loyally by the pastor. They had the honor of being the largest of like groups in Susquehanna County. The Hallstead Fire Company invited similar com- panies from Binghamton and other towns to join in a celebration and parade at Hallstead. They came in large numbers in fine uniforms and with brass bands. Both the Senior and junior Christian En- deavor societies were ready for them. When march- ers halted long enough to be served with lemonade by the hustling Seniors, the juniors invaded the ranks with dainty buttonhole bouquets, each attached with ribbon to a card with a Scripture passage written thereon. The boys and girls did quick Work to make sure each fireman had one pinned on his uniform. It meant much work for these societies to gather and prepare all the flowers and cards, but the deep im- pression made on the firemen was assurance that all V the work was amply rewarded by the joy and bless- ing given. The following quotation is from a booklet, en- titled History of the First Baptist Church of Hall- stead, Pennsylvaniaf' During Mr. Davis' pastorate he spent much time in evangelistic work in other fields. In September, 1899, he tendered his resig- nation, in order that he might devote all of his time to this special work to which he felt the Lord had called him. Women, children and strong men wept at the service when he announced his resignation, yet none would have asked him to remain against the leading of the Holy Spirit. November 26, 1899, both morning and evening, large audiences attended the farewell services for Pastor Davis. The morn- ing text was I Cor. 2:1-4 iAnd I brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you, save jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power', the evening text was I Samuel 12:24 'Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things He hath done for you.' He moved to Binghamton to give full time to his evangelistic work in which he became re- nowned. Be it known that some of his best and most blessed work was at Hallstead. DO THE WORK OF AN EVANGELISTW II Timothy 415. After five years of successful work as a pastor in Hallstead, Pa., Mr. Davis felt the call of God to do the work of an evangelist, so in his implicit obedience to the will of God, he resigned his pas- torate and embarked on a course of evangelism which for brilliancy ranks with that of the greatest evan- gelists of the present century. We believe that Mr. Davis was one of those of whom Paul was speaking in the fourth chapter in his letter to the Ephesians when he said, and He gave some, apostles, and some, prophets, and some, evan- gelists, and some, pastors and teachersf' Truly, Mr. Davis was a God-ordained evangelist doing a God- ordained work in many, many places where the Spirit of God led. God's seal of approval upon this humble ambas- sador's work can be traced into every field of service where he ever held a campaign. He has been in- strumental in leading many thousands of souls out into the glorious light of the Gospel of Christ. His aim was for a million souls for Christ in eter- nity! He came very close to his aim, how close, only eternity will reveal. It would be an impossibility to give an account of all the campaigns which Evangelist Davis held. It would be impossible even to list the places where he has been privileged, under God, to present the Glad Tidings to hungry hearts. We wish that more space might be available to reiterate some of the won- derful works, wrought by the Holy Spirit through the life of this unassuming, unpretentious servant. However, we shall try to touch on a few of the larger campaigns in order to give an idea of how the cam- paigns were conducted and the manner in which they were generally received. To many fields, Mr. Davis was recalled two, three, and even as many as seven different times. Asso- ciated with Mr. Davis, as singer, was Mr. Fred A. Mills, a man with a rich baritone voice and Spirit- given ability, both as a soloist and as an inspiring chorus leader. Davis and Mills were names known in the evangelistic field comparable with those of the 'Yield to the pruning knife or expect the axe He Lived For Otberf' 17 generation before- Moody and Sankeyf' To this day the names 'iDavis and Mills' are remembered by thousands upon thousands of the older generation. In looking over some of the newspaper clippings of the great Brooklyn campaigns held in the year 1907, we were thrilled by accounts with head-lines such as the following: 72,500 People Attend Davis- Mills Meetings, l'1,20O Men at Single Mass Meet- ing, Revival Meetings Fill Two Churchesf i'Evan- gelist Davis and F. A. Mills, His Singer, Arouse Great Enthusiasm, i'Lively Time at Revival in Brooklyn, Evangelist Davis of Binghamton and His Singers Stir Up Things, Davis and Mills Asked to Return Next Yearf' There is much that we might say concerning the work of Evangelist john A. Davis in these campaigns. He was held in very high esteem by pastors through- out the entire city of Brooklyn. The following ar- ticle concerning the coming campaign which Davis and Mills were to hold in the Washington Avenue Baptist Church appeared in the Sunday Bulletin dated March 3, 1907. The long expected coming of these powerful evangelists is about to be realized, for Davis and Mills begin special Gospel meetings next Sunday and continue with us two weeks. It is positively cer- tain that their coming will be of immense benefit. They are masters along the line of their specialty- the arousing of the conscience in allegiance to jesus Christ. Their work is thorough. Their appeals are tremendous. Their business is to make converts to jesus Christ, of members of the Church as well as the world, of which our Lord will not be ashamed, and they know their business. They are unique in the revival field, for they are first, midst and last, men of action. Other evangelists preach and sing. These men act, and infiuence the people to act with them. They are generals with a plan of campaign mapped out in advance, and you find yourself fol- lowing their lead. However sluggish you were yes- terday and indiierent, when they command, you arouse yourself and follow. This is because they command so sweetly and appealingly that you cannot help loving them. and before you know it you are loving the Christ they proclaim. The writer spent last Wednesday evening from 8 to 11 o'clock at one of their meetings and found it hard not to go again Thursday night. They held my attention from start to finish. How can they continue a meeting for two and a half hours and hold the crowds? As Philip said to Nathaniel, Come and seef, In that throng of people I saw nobody asleep, but I did see people laugh and weep, and less than a hundred went out before the close. The evangelist took less than thirty minutes for his sermon, and sermon it was, all right, preached with the picturesqueness and vividness of a Talmadge, and the power of a Moody. True, it lacked the homiletical form of a college trained, theo- logically dried sermonizer. It did not satisfy the intellect. It came near offending the intellectual demand. In fact it may be said, as I look back upon it, to have dethroned the intellect, and after the giant lay there cast down, Davis was cruel enough to stand upon him and reach out after your heart. He suc- ceeded in boring into the conscience, in grappling the heart, in stirring the phlegmatic propriety of spiritual indifference to the depths, in honoring jesus and making Him seem more indispensible to Christian work and living than before seemed to be necessary. These youngsters, for they are very young men as years go, though veterans in the spirit, possess a charm hard to define, and the best of it is, the charm lingers with you after the meeting is over, and next day, and you feel uneasy until you go again. We are told we heard the evangelist at his best in preaching and the conducting of the after meeting, which by the way is never conducted two evenings the same. Even so, I cannot conceive of his second-best being uninteresting and tiresome. I imagine someone ask- ing if less than thirty minutes were taken up with the sermon, how in the name of all that is good and great could the rest of the long evening be made not to drag? A detailed answer would take too long, so again I must answer, as above- come and see. The following account appeared in the 'lNew York Herald of May 7, 1907, giving an account of the closing night of the Brooklyn campaigns. A most re- markable demonstration of the deep hold Evangel- ists Davis and Mills have secured upon the religious element of this city during their four month's cam- paign was strikingly given in the closing service held in the largest available building, the Janes M. E. Church Sunday night. Tickets were issued, but not- withstanding, hundreds crowded before the doors singing the old familiar hymns learned during the campaign, while waiting for admittance. The crush at the front filled the great auditorium in a moment after the opening of the doors and overflow meet- ings were quickly arranged for in nearby churches. The sight inside was a most inspiring one, as 500 singers in the great union chorus crowded the plat- form and galleries, and when Mr. Mills waved his baton as the signal to begin, those who heard will never forget the enthusiastic melodious response, the deep spiritual fervor, as from song to song the hun- dreds swung in unison and with great accord. Shortly after the song service Evangelist Davis took charge. He was given an enthusiastic greet- ing, men and women from all the walks of life and social positionswprofessional, businessmen, mechan- ics, rising to their feet again and again to express their appreciation of the great work done. Mr. Davis in characteristic form and with unique power, after prayer led the great congregation into testimonies of benefits received. The pastors first telling how great blessings had come and saying they had never ex- 'But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom. 5:8. 18 He Lived For Ollferru pected to see the like and told of the good that had come to their churches. Laughter and tears followed along the enthusiastic wave as men, women and chil- dren continued rapidly telling, in varied form, of the joy that had come into their lives. It was the great- est religious demonstration ever held in this city and fittingly closed the campaign, which has been a chain of most remarkable incidents from the beginning. Davis' and Mills' remarkable meetings have left a deep impression on this city of churches. They hold a campaign in Baltimore May 12-19, 09075 in the centre of the city, a union of the churches, an out- growth of their great work there last December. From Brooklyn, Davis and Mills went to Balti- more, another one of the large cities of the East. It was a united campaign embracing fifteen churches, out in a section of the city near Goucher College, north of the Pennsylvania depot. This campaign was also very successful as indeed was every campaign carried on by them. At the close of these meetings a newspaper account reads as follows: Not since the days when Moody and Sankey so mightily stirred the city of Baltimore has so great an evangelistic cam- paign been held as that recently closed by those con- secrated men, Davis and Mills, who have been hold- ing a series of meetings in North East Baltimore, fifteen churches uniting, representing five different denominations as well as the mission interests of that part of the city. The greatest harmony and a choice sweetness pervaded the whole series, and nothing was said by those tactful, and yet fearless workers, that in the least jarred the fine spirit in the union effort. The resolutions passed, state that much of the harmony was due to the masterful way in which Evangelist john A. Davis looked after the details and held the grasp of every service. The re- markable work in large measure was due to the forc- ible Gospel sermons preached by Mr. Davis, exposi- tory and topical in their make-up, and his broad and liberal attitude which has been likened to that of Spurgeon. Marked evidence of his special ability and training for the special work of an evangelist, were seen in every service and people were turned away night after night while great crowds attended the meetings. F. A. Mills had charge of the great chorus choir, and his masterful ability as a singer and leader soon aroused a spirit of song which stirred the whole section of the city. Night after night people gath- ered in front of the building or congregated on street corners singing the hymns of the meetings, and it was often a familiar sound, to hear above the hum of the on going trolley cars the sweet strains of the familiar hymns sung by those homeward bound. The results of the meetings were great, many were quickened to strong religious interest and many started in the new way of living. Indeed the inter- est became so great and the influence extended over so wide a territory, that the greatness of the work cannot be computed. From Baltimore, Mr. Davis returned to Brooklyn at the request of the up-town churches. lt was on this return visit that he held a union service at the Hanson Place Baptist Church, and from which the choirs and audience marched to the South Oxford Street residence of Ira D. Sankey, the great singer, who was co-laborer with D. L. Moody. Under- neath the window of his room the great chorus gath- ered while hundreds listened to the old familiar hymns he had made famous, and which were carried to him through the opened windows. The choir sang, 'When the Mists Have Rolled Away,' 'There'll Be No Dark Valley,' 'While the Days Are Going By,' 'For You I Am Praying,' and Mr. Mills sang the solo. 'The Ninety and Nine.' It was a time never to be forgotten, as the singers heartily joined, while hundreds from the surrounding dwellings threw open windows to catch the inspiration of the moment, and some of the members of Mr. Sankey's family came with tear-dimmed eyes to look upon the scene. One metropolitan daily reported the incident as follows: One of the most remarkable services ever held in Brooklyn was that yesterday morning at 7:30 at the Hanson Place Baptist Church. It was the oc- casion of a union Easter morning service led by Davis and Mills, who have been holding evangelistic serv- ices in the city for several months. Fully a thousand people, representing many churches, filled the church, galleries and all, and the meeting could scarcely be closed by 9:30. The evangelistic choirs from the Janes Methodist, the Sumner Avenue Baptist, the Embury Memorial Methodist, and the Wasliington Avenue Baptist churches filled the large platform built for the occasion and nearly half the gallery on either side. Most of the songs sung were the familiar ones learned by the audience in the various campaigns in the borough. Mr. Davis gave a soul-stirring talk, and then followed a rapid-hre testimony meeting which has scarcely been equalled anywhere. Often a half dozen were on their feet at once waiting eager- ly their chance to speak. Near the close, Mr. Davis revealed to the audi- ence a plan that he had kept as a surprise, and to- gether a thousand people marched four abreast around to the residence of Ira D. Sankey, the singer now blind, who made song so famous in the Moody campaigns, and there under his window sang his favorite selections. The Rev. Dr. C. D. Case, the Rev. John R. Knox, and Davis and Mills headed the procession. One song that Mr. Sankey espe- cially requested them to sing was, There'll Be No Dark Valley. The people next proceeded to the residence of Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler. who also lives on South Oxford Street, a little below the home of Mr. Sankey, and sang for him. The doctor was on his porch and responded to the song with a short appeal. He said that nearly five years ago Ira D. Sankey sang the last time in public just where the Dip the pen of the tongue in the ink of the heart. He Lived For OllJe1'J 19 crowd was now, and where Mr. Mills was leading the singing, and that he sang at that time Blest Be the Tie That Binds. He especially requested that the same song should be sung, which was done tenderly. He put his arms around Mr. Mills and thanked him. The people broke up a little after ten to hasten to their own services. The Davis and Mills mission began with the Hanson Place Church in the evening with a house filled. The large platform, the largest the church has ever had, was filled with singers. Mr. Davis filled his sermon last evening with rich personal ex- periences which showed that he had much of that power which made Gipsy Smith's sermons so effec- tive. Mr. Davis can be wonderfully tender at times and at others he makes the building ring with his voice. It is impossible to compare Mr. Davis with any other evangelist. He discards all formalities in his dead earnestness. So absorbed was the audience that probably few knew that twice he sat down in the chair, and when people thought that they had before them fully a half hour of testimony he so suddenly closed the meeting that they sat quiet a few moments before moving. He declared the service was closed and leaped from the platform all in the same moment. The sermon was on 'Soul-winning,' and was from Daniel 12:3. 'And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmamentg and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.' He declared that every man can be a soul-winner, and that he pitied the person that had never won a soul to Christ. The day following the service the letter below was received from Mr. Sankey, and is here used by spe- cial permission. 148 So. Oxford Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. Jan. 28, 1908. Messrs. Davis and Mills, Hanson Place M. E. Church, Brooklyn. Dear Brethren: I wish to thank you and your choir with all my heart for singing for me last night. It was very kind of you indeed to remember me, and I hope that we shall sing together some day in the land that is fairer than day. With best wishes for your continued success, and with kindest regards, I am, Fraternally yours, Ira D. Sankey per C.R. During the two years of his stay in Brooklyn, Evangelist Davis was mightily used of God to win hundreds of precious souls and build up the spiritual life in the following churches of the city: the Sumner Avenue Baptist, the Embury Memorial Methodist, the lanes Methodist, the Washington Avenue Baptist, the Hanson Place Baptist and the Simpson Methodist. While he was thus engaged in presenting the Glad Tidings in Brooklyn, he received a call from the pastors of the city of Altoona, Pennsylvania, where thirty evangelical churches were willing to unite in the movement. After some correspondence, Mr. Davis was so impressed with the need and the great opportunity, that he concluded, after much praying, that it was the call of God and decided on the close of the Brooklyn campagn to open the work there. Consequently one Saturday evening late in March, 1908, Mr. Davis arrived in Altoona and as he stepped from the train with some members of the committee, who had gone down the road a few miles to meet him, he was given a most cordial greeting by the 200 or more persons gathered at the station. They sang the hymns, God Will Take Care of You, and Victory Through Christ, under the leadership of singer Mills who had preceded Mr. Davis to the field. No such enthusiasm had ever been evidenced in the city before. The crowd marched through the station, out to the street, where Mr. Davis was in- troduced to the workers, and an open air service was held by a large number of the Christian workers and citizens of the city. A prayer was offered by Mr. Davis and after some remarks and the singing of a number of hymns the very atmosphere seemed charged with the spirit of the revival, and the cam- paign was on! From the opening service it was apparent that there was no building in the city adequate to hold the great crowds. So the committee decided to di- vide the city into three sections, with Davis and Mills in the center, and his co-workers Rev. William H. Pike in the second section, and Rev. Charles H. Har- rington in the third. Even this provision proved inadequate, for all three places of meeting were soon over-crowded. Therefore, the committee considered the advisability of erecting in a central location a tabernacle capable of seating at least 3,000 people. The meeting was held on a Saturday afternoon, and the contract awarded. The following Tuesday morn- ing the erection of the building began. In five days the great tabernacle was completed, the floor laid, the lights installed, the seats arranged, and every- thing was in readiness for the service on Sunday afternoon, at which 3,000 men gathered. Even this huge tabernacle was not sudicient to accommodate the crowds, and hundreds were turned away. During the closing days many would come to the afternoon service, bring their lunch and remain in the building in order to insure their securing a seat for the evening services. So great were the crowds that Evangelist Davis thought it wise to open a campaign on the south-side of the city. This was done and the meetings there were carried on with splendid results. Thomas B. Dilts, the General Secretary of the Y.M.C.A. at Latrobe, Pennsylvania, a city of about 'LWe give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord jesus Christ, praying always for youf' Col. 1:21. 20 He Lived For Olherf' 12,000 people, situated some forty miles east of Pittsburgh, was mightily stirred by the reports that came to him from Altoona concerning the great things the Lord was doing for that city, and his heart longed for a similar work for his own home town. After much prayer he and a fellow worker decided to spend a Sunday in Altoona to see if the reports were not exaggerated and if possible to catch some of the fire of the revival. It was toward the close of the Altoona campaign that he and L. A. Stahl visited the meetings, and as they expressed it after- ward, soon learned that the half had not been told them. They at once entered into communication with the evangelists to learn if it were possible to secure their services for a campaign in Latrobe, and upon what terms. After correspondence the way opened, and an invitation was extended to Davis and Mills to conduct a campaign in that city. The meetings were held in the skating rink which was arranged so as to accommodate over 2,000 peo- ple. At the first Sunday afternoon service, the fol- lowing communication was read by General Secretary Thomas B. Dilts: Midnight, Oct. 2, 1908. Altoona, Pa., My dear Brother: At an enormous gathering of people in the Second Presbyterian Church tonight, I was unanimously and enthusiastically authorized to send the following mes- sage: The churches of Altoona send Christian greeting to the churches of Latrobe, bespeaking for our beloved evangelists their warm-hearted, earnest co-operation and prayers, being well assured as we are that divine approbation and blessing will rest in fullest measure upon them in the saving of souls and for this we will ever pray. Henry Howard Stiles, Pastor, Second Presbyterian Church It would be practically impossible to tell all the in- cidents that indicated the power of God as it was manifested in this campaign. Dance Called Off-Merchants 'Failed to Put in Appearance. Under the above head the following article ap- peared in the Latrobe Daily Bulletin, and is here given to indicate the great interest aroused by the workers in the evangelistic campaign. lThere's no use trying to have a dance while this religious revival is going on,' said Prof. R. E. lakes, the dancing teacher, late yesterday afternoon, when he called off the dance which he had announced for last evening in the Doherty Auditorium, and stated that he would discontinue his weekly dances until after the evangelistic campaign comes to an end. This means that there will be no dance in school until early in November at least. Prof. jakes stated that a number of his regular patrons had requested him to discontinue the dances during the revival, and as the attendance had been falling off very noticeably since the evangelistic meetings started, he believed the proper thing to do was to call off his dances. The effort to have a big meeting of the business men of the town for the purpose of rehabilitating the Merchants' Association, proved unavailing last evening, less than a dozen business men having as- sembled at the city hall. Consequently, the meeting had to be called off. The reason for the non-attend- ance of many merchants was to be found in the fact that they were at the evangelistic services at the rink, a number of them being in the choir, and others being in the audience. It is likely that no further effort will be made to hold a big meeting until after the evangelistic campaign has been concluded, in- asmuch as so many of the merchants are actively iden- tified with the religious movement, making them loath to miss any of the services. A prophet is not without honor except in his own country. It is the exception that proves the rule. There proved to be an exception to this rule when Davis and Mills returned to Mr. Davis' home city, Binghamton, to conduct a campaign, in 1907. The story of the inception of the Binghamton campaign is a story of the power of the Holy Spirit's work to bring about the will of God. For two years previously a few godly women.had met at different times to pray for an outpouring of the Spirit of God upon the city of Binghamton. In God's own way the an- swer came. And in a article by Rev. F. O. Belden in Echoes, our Bible School paper, on the prepara- tions for the revival, he says: If I were asked to tell when preparations began for the great spiritual awakening, known to us as the Davis and Mills meetings, I should answer, 'God foreordained it before the foundation of the world.' He began to reveal it to some in the city, however, several months ago. While it was not known who would 'command the battle,' yet there were groups of praying men and women that were laying hold of God's great promises and believing that the time of refreshing from the hand of the Lord was near and He was about to 'pour water upon him that was thirsty and floods upon the dry ground.' The way the three churches, the West Pres- byterian, the Tabernacle Methodist and Main Street Baptist came to unite in this work is of special inter- est. In fact, to those to whom Christ committed the work it is sacred, because of the manifest leading, as we believe, of the Holy Spirit. Last spring two of the pastors were together attending a commence- ment at Colgate Univeristy. While they were talk- ing over their work and plans for the fall, to their great surprise it was found that the same desire and The way of the cross is the way to the crown. He Lived For Oll2er.r 21 heart hunger was in each soul, and not only that, but in the souls of many of their people. On their return one of the pastors went to the other neigh- boring pastor only to find that God had given to him the same burden. This led to a meeting for conference and prayer by the pastors of the three churches, and from the first it was decided to ad- vise our people to unite in the early fall in a union evangelistic campaign, if we could find the right man to lead us. After a few weeks a committee .of laymen from each church was invited to join with the pastors in conference and to advise in regard to the selection of an evangelist. With the increased numbers the interest broadened and the desire to have the united work deepened. Gradually but surely we came to the conclusion that we wanted Brothers Davis, Mills and Carr, whom we so well knew and loved, to be our leaders. Therefore our brethren were invited to come with us early in Oc- tober. Believing that our invitations expressed to them the will of God, they accepted, and we com- menced to plan for the work. Besides these campaigns already mentioned, Mr. Davis labored in many other cities and towns. Some of the better known cities in which he worked dur- ing the early years of his evangelistic career are: Elmira, N. Y., Reading, Pa., Birmingham, Pa., Kal- ' bln 4, nviif, 's MR. DAVIS AT HAZLETON, PA., SEATED AS HE WAS VVHEN THE VIS- ION OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A BIBLE SCHOOL CAME TO HIM amazoo, Mich., Hancock, N. Y., and at Hazleton, Pa., where he received the vision of a Bible training school, out of which grew the present Practical Bible Training School. Other cities include Clyde, Ohio, Cambridge Springs, Uniontown, Wfellsboro, Phoenix- ville, and Wyalusing, Pa., Baltimore, Md., Afton, N. Y., his boyhood home, Worcester, Sidney, Mas- sena, Oneonta, Illion, Governeur, Albany, Sherburne, Cortland, Ithaca, N. Y., and back to his home sec- tion, Lestershire and Binghamton, N. Y. He also held campaigns in New England cities and in the West. Why were the campaigns of Evangelist Davis so different from all others and why were they readily recalled many years after the evangelist had left the field? Because Evangelist Davis thoroughly believed in using all legitimate methods to God's glory. He did not propose that the children of the world should be wiser than the children of Light. Therefore, he employed the most unique methods of procedure, not only in the conducting of the services, but also in getting the attention of the crowds. His methods were different, startling and attractive. One of the methods commonly employed was his parades. In some of his parades as many as 500 horses have been used. It took two hours for some of his larger parades to pass a given point. He solicited the co- operation of the Mayor and leading officials of the town and often the Mayor of the town led the pa- rade. Some of his parades were said to have cost as much as 35,000 for a single town. He spared neither money nor effort in order to make each pa- rade a success. One of the interesting features of the parade was the white brigade, which was a company of girls whom the Evangelist had trained in military tactics. This brigade never failed to win the heartiest ap- plause from the enthusiastic on-lookers. Interest ran high-people from every walk of life offered their heartiest co-operation. Business men closed their ofiices, stores were closed, and it seemed that the central theme for the day was the great Davis and Mills parade. Every vantage point was filled with eager, enthusiastic spectators. Roofs of houses, hre escapes, windows and sidewalks were crowded with people who had come to see the sights, Many times Evangelist Davis has been criticized for conducting these parades. Many people have said that it was a waste of money and that such methods should never be employed in the service of the King. But the parades had their psycholog- ical effect. For a whole day the eyes of an entire town were focused upon the Davis and Mills evan- gelistic party, and after one of these parades Evan- gelist Davis uowned the town by the popular vote of the people themselves. The support and the en- thusiasm of the towns-people never waned at the end of a parade, but extended far into the campaign, where many hundreds, and often thousands, looked upon the crucified Christ and believed. He held meetings where no one else would ever think of holding them, The incident has been told Holding fast the faillijiul Wrivd as he liazli been Lauglic, than he may he able by .wound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayersf Titus l:9. 22 He Lived For OtlJerJ ' of the time when the great fair was held in Seattle, Washington. Evangelist Davis had been informed that no religious meeting could be held on the fair grounds. But he was a man who never stopped at oddssif he couldn't do things in an ordinary way he was bound to do them in an extraordinary one. After praying much about it and getting God's ap- proval, he consulted the people of the church where he was holding his campaign. All plans were in readiness for a service. The time chosen was a pe- riod when everyone was interested in looking at the side-shows and other attractions always presented the sole purpose of studying the Welsli Revival which was at that time sweeping, not only the entire Brit- ish Isles but was reaching into the adjacent countries of Europe. Evangelist Davis always tried to get his congre- gation to participate in the services. He firmly be- lieved that if he could break down the flesh and get the minds of the people from themselves, that the Spirit of God would have a greater right-of-way in their lives. One of the methods effectively used, most enthus- AN AUDITORIUM DURING ONE OF EVANGELIST DAVIS' CAMPAIGNS at a fair of this sort, and the problem was to draw the people so that they could preach to them. Evan- gelist Davis walked down the main street and, jump- ing upon a platform erected for some side-show, he began shouting at the top of his voice. Mr. Mills came running from another direction, Mr. Carr from still another, and the people of the congregation came pouring in from all around. In just no time at all a huge crowd congregated in front of the plat- form and a wonderful service followed in which God marvelously owned and blessed His W'ord. One may wonder how it was that after attracting the crowd by parades and in other unusual ways, that Dr. Davis could hold their attention-even more, promote a greater interest night after night throughout a campaign. The fact was Mr. Davis through his search and study of the many and varied methods of great and mightily used men of God had developed a style and method entirely original, distinct and unique. The instance has been brought to mind when Evangelist Davis crossed the Atlantic to Wales, for iastically received, and perhaps with the greatest re- sults was his popcorn meeting. Mr. Davis first explained how corn could not be popped over a re- frigerator, but over a fire. Now warm-up was a characteristic expression, and the people always heart- ily responded. Quickly and from all over the house, the main auditorium and the galleries, people arose and in a short concise manner they earnestly told of the blessings that the meetings had been to their own lives and of their love and devotion for the Lord jesus Christ. As many as 225 have taken part in these meetings in eighteen minutes, while applause, laughter and tears punctuated the different testi- monies. His after-meetings were unexcelled for variety of program and results. One of the evangelist's plans was to have what he called a line-up of Christians. He asked for all those who were not ashamed of Christ to raise their hands. Upon response to this question he requested those who professed the Name of Christ to step out into the aisle, form a line and march down to the front of the church auditorium. There they gave a clear and forceful witness of the When two quarrel, there are two in the wrong. He Lived 1: or Otlaerru 25 power of Christ to save, to keep and to satisfy. Hun- dreds of people have often taken part in this man- ner and it has been frequently found that men and women who had not spoken for years in public opened their mouths in confession of Christ. Often men and women have made their first profession of Christ as Saviour in just such moments as these. This indeed is a favorite method of Mr. Davis of curing what he called a Christian's heart trouble, and experience has shown that it is an excellent method for developing Christians for active service. One of the most inspiring incidents in the after- meetings was his means of a voluntary choir. At these times hundreds of men, who knew the Lord, were called from the audience and massed on the platform where they were led by Singer Mills in singing such old favorites as Nearer My God to Thee' 'and Rock of Agesf' Such services were al- ways impressive and many great audiences have been thrilled. A deep spirit of devotion always pervaded these services. Among the singers oftimes there was a gray-haired saint of God and as he sang these hymns of praise tears coursed down his cheeks and his face bespoke his devotion to his Lord. On many of these occasions the audience sat spell-bound, only to break out into enthusiastic applause as the sound of the hymn died away. A service in which marked interest has been shown and a service that Mr. Davis has made famous throughout the country is the tenderly beautiful Pink Rose Service. Much space could be devoted to a de- scription of this, but instead we will read what the reporter had to say about it as it was given in the city of Latrobe, Pennsylvania. The afternoon service was such as no one ever witnessed in this place. Long before two o'clock the people crowded around the door of the rink waiting for the opening. Hundreds and hundreds were there and how they sang while waiting for the doors to be thrown open. The hundreds of voices rang out with the re- vival hymns as the crowd patiently waited for the opening, and when the doors were opened, such a crush resulted that it took the combined efforts of Evangelist Harrington and an enlarged corps of ushers to preserve any kind of order. Inside the rink, in a short time every space in the gallery, on the floor, the platform and every conceivable place was utilized for seats. On the platform sat the choir with the ladies dressed in white and the men in black, while each member of the choir wore a beautiful pink rose. The scene was one of beauty, seldom witnessed. It was a remark- able service and much interest was displayed. Mr. Davis read the story of Delia and the choir sang with spirit and in harmony. The story was of the rescue of a fallen woman named Delia, through the efforts of Mrs. E. M. Whit- temore, and the music was especially written for the story. The service will always be remembered as one of the greatest ever held in this city. THE CLOSING SERVICE AT THE RINK l'With the song of beautiful sentiment, God Be With You Till We Meet Again, poured forth from about two thousand throats with such volume that the words could be distinctly heard several blocks away, while the very rafters of the building seemed to tremble, the great series of evangelistic meetings which had been under way for five weeks past were brought to a close at eleven o'clock last evening, evangelists and people joining together in the song which assumed special significance in view of the near departure of the former. Davis and Mills were untiring and ceaseless in their efforts to promote the cause of Christ. No matter where they went they endeavored to leave a testimony with those with whom they came in con- tact. The incident has been recalled where the whole party was visiting a coal mine in Pennsylvania and when they had penetrated far into the bowels of the earth, Mr. Davis conceived the idea of holding a short religious service. Can you imagine the effect that this service had upon the miners? It was so different that the newspaper reporter the next day sent dispatches all over the country telling of this unique service. Below is an excerpt from one of the write-ups concerning it. Echoing and re-echoing through the headings, rounding the ribs into the rooms, breaking through the impenetrable darkness of the Atlantic Crushed Coke Company's mine at Bradenville, yesterday, there was wafted the sweet refrain of the now familiar hymn, fGod Will Take Care of You.' Miners wielding their picks against the walls of coal stilled their blows and with picks poised over head listened for the words which reverberated through the mine, striking the inky-black walls and glancing off into new corners and sections of the mine. Drivers halted their mules and stood silent, upon the tracks, while men driving headings, about to shoot the solid, held the electric spark from the squibs so that there might be no deafening intona- tion of a dynamite explosion to interrupt the refrain which met their ears. The characteristic principle of Dr. Davis' entire life of living for others was greatly manifested in his evangelistic efforts. During his campaign in Altoona, Pennsylvania, because of adverse business conditions, hundreds of men were deprived of posi- tions and as a result, many families were in great need. Their circumstances appealed strongly to Mr. Davis and upon his suggestion the executive com- mittee of the campaign set aside one night, during which supplies of flour, sugar, canned goods, pota- So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure. Il Thess. 1:4. 24 He Lived For Olberff' toes and other necessities were received. The response to this suggestion was gratifyingg over a ton and a half of flour was received besides great quantities of other necessities. When these were distributed to those in dire need they were gratefully received. Another evidence of the thoughtfulness of Mr. Davis was the request for cut flowers and potted plants for the shut-ins. Many beautiful fiowers of every description were brought for the distribu- tion, many hearts were gladdened, and many sick- rooms made more cheery as a result of this thought- fulness. A marked feature of all the campaigns was the utter lack of begging for funds. While Evangelist Davis adhered strictly to business methods and be- lieved in the prompt settlement of all obligations, his trust in God carried him along and almost uni- versally he left the question of financial support in the background. He believed that if he did his best that God would prompt the people to do their best for the furtherance of the Gospel. Many church members and others who have been in his campaigns, yet recall numerous beautiful in- cidents. Many could tell of the time when Mr. Davis on behalf of the trustees or other officials presented the pastor of the church where he was holding his campaign, with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Many times in practically every field where he labored for Christ this scene was enacted, and while the flowers have faded and the fragrance gone, yet the memory of the Christian act still remains. VI. AND IT CAME TO PASS Mark 1:9. It was in the early summer of 1900 that Rev. john A. Davis sent a notice to the various churches in Binghamton and vicinity to the effect that he was about to organize a Bible class which would meet evenings in a hall room over a store, at the corner of Arch and Main Streets, Lestershire, New York. Between eighty and ninety people came to this first class. They all were believers, more or less in- terested in learning how better to study the Bible. The class was called together by Mr. Davis. After brief introductory remarks, he gave the first lecture. The succeeding sessions were carried on in much the same general way. Mr. Davis was the only teacher for the term. The attendance grew, until there were about one hundred and twenty students in the class. The subjects taught were those in which Mr. Davis was a master, namely, How to use the Bible g Book Summaryng Personal Work g and some in- troductory studies in Doctrine. That summer some evenings were cool and pleas- while others were hot and sultry. However, attendance never dropped nor did the interest throughout the whole period. God had need a school and He inspired Mr. Davis to make start, and He took care of the interest and the ant the flag for this attendance and gave Mr. Davis students to work with from the very beginning. Mr. Davis' teaching was so inspirational, so absorbing in every detail, that it mattered not whether the evening was sultry or pleas- ant, the students were attentive to the utmost de- gree, intensely interested in catching the words of life and power, coming from God's servant. During the closing weeks of that first term the class permanently organized and the feeling became general that the work must not be allowed to drop, but that a permanent school building should be ob- tained and a Bible school established which would give instruction for both day and evening students throughout the year. Following this determination, land was donated on Harrison Street for a school building. The clos- ing exercises of this first term were held in one of the Lestershire churches. The matter of a permanent school building was presented to the people and sev- eral hundred dollars immediately secured toward the project. This gave an impetus to the work which assured its completion. The students organized in groups of five to ten for services in the churches of the immediate vicinity and at distances of many miles. Everywhere they went with the enthusiastic message, We are going to build the school. The students would put on a platform service and, at the close, take an offering for the work which was already dear to their hearts. Plans were drawn and the building was quickly completed. The following year found the school housed in this new building on Harrison Street and ready for classes along reg- ular, prescribed courses of study. The Hrst certifi- cates of the completion of introductory studies were issued under date of September 1, 1901, over the signatures of john R. Clements, President, and john A. Davis, Superintendent. The selection of a name for the institution de- serves mention. Mr. Davis was urged, by a number of people, to call the school The Davis Bible School. The selection of a name was delayed for several weeks, due to Mr. Davis' determination not to call the school aftet himself. He insisted that what he wanted to give was a practical working knowledge of the Bible to young people, which would enable them to be of unusual service in their Gold is tried in fire, friendship in need. He Lived For Otherr' 25 respective churches. Again and again, he would say that he wanted a practical Bible-training COLIFSC. His friends finally surrendered to Mr. Davis' judgment, and he named the institution Q'The Practical Bible- Training School. The School was incorporated under the member- ship laws of the state of New York in the year 1900, dent who has ever studied at the Practical Bible- Training School. The building shown in the accompanying cut was erected in 1901, and it was thought of commodious proportions. The building had offices, lecture rooms, and a parlor on the first floor, dining room and cul- inary department on the floor below, and dormitory 1 i I THE FIRST HOME OF THE PRACTICAL BIBLE TRAINING SCHOOL by john A. Davis, john R. Clements, E. Talmadge Graves, A. B. Corby, and George W. Holyoke, all of Binghamton and Lestershire fNow johnson Cityj. The articles of incorporation and application were drawn by Honorable Harry C. Perkins, who later be- came Secretary and Legal Advisor of the' institution. The petition was approved by Supreme Court jus- tice, Honorable George F. Lyon, himself a Bing- hamton resident. In 1901, Rev. William H. Pike was chosen dean of the school and continued in that position until 1917. He was a man of exceptional ability, mighty in the Scriptures, as well as a fine executive. The other men, known nationally, who taught either spe- cial subjects in the school or gave large contributions of time in a more general way were: Rev. E. P. Marvin of Lockport, Robert Garry, the Man of one Book , Rev. E. F. Hallenbeck, D.D., a Bing- hamton pastor and gifted Bible teacher, Rev. George L. Aldrich, D.D., a Scranton pastor and deep Bible student, and many others of wide prominence in God's work. Miss Mary Scotten was a worker at the school from its inception and for years a mem- ber of the faculty. She is revered by every stu- accommodations on the second and third floors. The ground was sufficiently sloping so that the dining room opened on the lawn, at the lower side of the building. In the early days of the Practical Bible Training School on Harrison Street, in Lestershire, the interest became such that a Bible Conference- was proposed. The suggestion was carried into effect with telling results. The attendance was large, many coming from surrounding towns, each person with Bible and notebook, ready to get real personal inspiration. These were never-to-be-forgotten occasions. God marvelously answered the soul-stirring pray- ers. One man claimed Isaiah 40:29, He giveth power to the faint, and to them that have no might He increaseth strength. Thousands who have at- tended the Practical Bible Training School Summer Bible Conference, held annually since then, will say Amen to the truth and confirmation of this promise. Wlien the glad meeting in eternity where vast numbers who have been inspired and whose hearts melted at such gatherings will join in the resounding So then everyone of us shall give account of himself to God. Rum. 14:12. 26 He Lived 1: or Otberf' notes of the Alleluiah Chorus in adoration of jesus Christ, then will the realization of the success of the comparatively small beginning be known. Bible conferences mark the achievement of another of Dr. Davis' visions. And soon or late to all who sow, The time of harvest shall be given, The flower shall bloom, the fruit shall grow, If not on earth, at last in Heaven. One of the earliest students at the Practical Bible Training School was G. Lloyd Hughes, shown in the 1 G. LLOYD HUGHES accompanying cut. He was a young Welshman from the Pennsylvania anthracite regions, called of God for definite service. He came to Lestershire and worked his way through school. He was a thor- oughly consecrated young man, who lived close to God, as an incident of his school days will show. Lloyd Hughes had been working at the time and, in his working clothes, was on his way walking from his place of employment to the school, at the close of the day's work. He was proceeding along a street when he felt an urge to call at a certain home which he was passing. He glanced at the house, realized that he knew no one there and continued down the street. However, the urge to stop at that particular house was so great that he retraced his steps and, because of his having working clothes on, went down the side of the house to the back steps, and up those steps. He knocked at the door, which was opened by a working man. Lloyd said, I beg your pardon, sir, but did you want to see me? to which the man replied, I guess I dog you were speaking on the street corner over in Stella the other evening, and I can't get away from it. I want to know how to become a Christian. Lloyd led him to Christ. Lloyd Hughes made it a practice of being present at the family devotional period, held each evening in the parlor immediately after supper. He frequent- ly prayed, Lord do not let me disappoint you. These times of worship were honored with God's presence, and bring blessed memories to mind. Lloyd went to China and proceeded to the south- ern part. He was possessed with a longing to preach the Gospel in Annam. He finally did have this pleas- ure which, however, was short-lived for during the heated season of the year he was stricken with brain fever and went home to be with his Lord. Lloyd lived a brief but brilliant life for God, and was an- other product resulting from the consecration of john A. Davis, A Gospel wagon was pressed into service and proved a great help in carrying Gospel singers and workers-also attracting the attention of men, women and children to the inspiring meetings they held. Musical instruments had a large part in calling the crowds. An incident in the life of john A. Davis is worth mentioning here. H. H. Wagner was one of the first students of the school, and one of the students to go out in the groups for platform meetings. One Monday morning he was waiting at the office for Mr. Davis, in order to make report concerning the meetings held while Mr. Davis had been out on an evangelistic campaign. When Mr. Davis came in, he had his offering from the campaign in coin bags, in a satchel. While receiving his report, he emptied the offering out on his desk and commenced to count it. At this moment, Miss Lena King, matron of the institution, entered. Mr. Davis greeted her and asked how the institution had been getting along during his absence, and whether or not the school's bills had been paid. She replied that they had not been paid but, on the contrary, there were several which were somewhat pressing. Mr. Davis then counted out three or four small amounts, saying, I need that for my grocery bill and that for . . designating other bills and, with a sweep of both hands, he pushed the uncounted offering over to Miss King and said, Miss King, take the rest of it. This is but one illustration of the unusual sacrifices of john A. Davis for the institution God brought into being through him. Rule your temper or it will 'ruin you. He Lived For Other!

The School was rapidly growing and it was re- alized that it would be necessary to seek larger quar- ters with dormitory accommodations and campus facilities. just outside of the city limits of Bing- hamton, N.

He saw the beautiful oak trees, the elms and other trees, among them evergreens, and visualized the possibili- ties of the place as a permanent home for the Prac- vm. i 0 I:I:1:'- ............

As he walked about the grounds he happened to glance into the bar-room and saw the men and women lined up three-deep around the bar, some of them in an advanced state of intoxication. As he turned to leave, he vowed to himself , Witl1 the help of God I'll smash this place, and with that resolve in his mind, as soon as he was outside of the gate, he knelt beside the high wire fence and prayed to God to give him this place for His work. This brewery-backed resort was a separate organi- zation for the purpose of selling liquors. As such, it had the backing of the brewery and liquor inter- ests, and any effort to obtain the grounds for other purposes would naturally meet with the determined resistance of those financially interested. This re- T' Y E., DR. BYRON W. KING tI'aJ:o 31j sistance was felt keenly. There was many a struggle and many a prayer. For two years john A. Davis waited for the manifestation of the hand of God. It appears that some of the stockholders, desiring to obtain an advantage, started a fight within the amusement organization which resulted in finally throwing the 'lWhite City corporation into the hands of a receiver. At this time Evangelist Davis was holding a campaign in one of the larger cities of central Pennsylvania. A Binghamton business man interested in the School, though not aware of Mr. Davis' hopes re- garding the park, secured a short term option on the property and wired Mr. Davis and asked him if he would be interested. Mr. Davis rushed back, and within three hours had called his board together and exercised their option, which gave them title to the property with all the buildings on it, one of which was a large and roomy hotel. The transformation which immediately took place on the grounds of the White City has been well For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power and in Lhe Holfy Ghost, and infmuch assuranceg . . I Thess. 1:'i. 30 He Lived For Oilaerfu named a Twentieth Century Miracle. The old White City Hotel became the present Main Building, to which have been added wings on either end. The old Beer Garden became Davis Hallg the old Merry- go-round Shelter formed the basis for what is now Mothers' Memorial, a dormitory housing about forty studentsg and the jail was rebuilt into a cottage oc- cupied by members of the faculty. from a burning building. Of all the workers none was happier than john A. Davis to see this accom- plished. After the equipment had been moved, the hard work of cleaning up began. Every building on the premises had to be renovated from top to bottom, and all the equipment had to be cleaned before it could be used. The articles used in the serving of F A CLASS AT BIBLE SCHOOL PARK IN 1916 The moving from the old building at 47 Harrison Street, johnson City, into the new home was accom- plished during the month of june, 1911, by the students under the immediate supervision of Francis L. Holden, who later graduated and has been a suc- cessful pastor for years. It has been said by one of the students present at that time that the pieces of furniture moved from the wagon to the new build- ing just about as rapidly as things usually come out liquors had to be destroyed. The kitchen equipment included the usual supply of cooking utensils, all of which had to receive liberal applications of elbow grease furnished by willing hands. In the midst of all this labor, regular periods of devotion were car- ried on when the students came together and thanked God for the place and for the opportunity of get- ting it ready for the great days ahead. The first instruction on the grounds took place in THE OLD MAIN BUILDING God's answers are always worth waiting fm. He Lived For Oihe1'f 31 Davis Hall as that was one of the first buildings that could be made ready for school purposes. The teacher was Rev. O. R. Palmer. While the first class was in session a terrible shower came up accompanied by much wind with lightning and thunder. During this storm about thirty trees on the campus were up- rooted and much damage was done. The United States Post Office today is housed in whatwas the moving picture hall of the old White City. Other buildings on the grounds were renov- ated and made usable, A hospital building has been Another important building on the campus is Friendship Cottage, the home of President and Mrs. Davis, which was built by friends as a tribute of love to them. A slope of ground at the extreme west end of the campus, overlooking the Susquehanna River, was set apart for Vesper Services and named Sunset Knollf, Seats were arranged in a semi-circular form, a plat- form was built, and every pleasant evening during the Summer Bible Conferences a short service is held THE PRESENT MAIN BUILDING added to the grounds as was also a central heating plant, both of these being down on the bank of the river. Another of the important buildings on the campus Walter is known as the Manrow Memorial Building. D. Manrow was born on a farm near Throop, N. Y., April 11, 1846, was converted at the age of twenty- two, and became a successful business man in Au- burn, N. Y., building up a competence for himself in his later years. In the early twenties he became acquainted with the work of the Practical Bible Training School, and he and Mrs. Manrow visited the School on several occasions. In the meantime the Students' League of Many Nations had become a permanent organization in the School. The regular buildings were crowded and as many graduates were among the League Students, another building with dormitory facilities was greatly needed. Mr. and Mrs. Manrow finally decided to rebuild a building on the property as a League dormi- tory building, this was accomplished in 1924-25. It is a commodious building with two fioors of dor- mitory rooms and underneath the building a base- ment workshop for the grounds, while at the west end of the building where the ground slopes away from the building there is a summer dining room and kitchen. here directly after supper. It is on this knoll that the body of Dr. Davis now rests. In May, 1912, Evangelist Davis lost his voice. This afiliction continued for two or three years until he met Dr. Byron W. King of Pittsburgh. Dr. King was a specialist in voice, and under his training the lost voice was recovered. During their acquaintance as doctor and patient, Dr. King came to know about the Practical Bible Training School with the result that he became a lecturer at the School on Voice and Public Speaking, coming to the School at stated in- tervals. He became one of the most loved instruc- tors among all those who came to the School occa- sionally, and when Davis Hall was remodelled it was rechristened King Hall as a memorial to Dr. King. After he lost his voice, Mr. Davis was confined to the School. Though this seemed a misfortune, yet it enabled him to give all his time and energy to it. Much of his time was devoted to the teaching of Ideal Helps, which became the outstanding class in the School. Evangelists and pastors who have re- ceived their training here often have returned to testify to the fact that they owe their success in a large measure to the benefits received in this partic- ular class. In the accompanying cut, taken in 1916, Dr. Davis is shown in one of his characteristic poses before the class. fSee Page 501 Wait on the Lord, be of good courage: and He shall strengthen thme heart: wait, I say, on the Lordf' Ps. 27:14. 32 He Lived For Otberf' It was not the purpose of the founder of the Prac- tical Bible Training School to build a large insti- tution. Occasionally he was heard to say that what he wanted was an institution large enough to train young people properly, on the other hand not so large but that the students would have the advantage of more personal contact with the teachers and the benefit of individual instruction. The student body has averaged approximately 150 students per year for many years. The present year, the student body is somewhat above that number. Students have come to this School, not only from practically every State in the Union, but from Canada and Mexico and many foreign countries including China and some of the countries in Africa. The graduating class at first had but a few members, but the number has grown until the present class of graduates, numbering forty- tive, is the largest number of graduates in the history of the institution. A work of this character must inevitably become known and acknowledged as praiseworthy in a high degree. Such was the case here. Taylor University of Upland, Indiana, on june 14, 1922, conferred upon Rev. John Adelbert Davis the degree of Doctor of Divinity in recognition of his outstanding accom- plishments in the tield of Christian education. Students trained in rightly dividing the Word have gone out as pastors and as evangelists, Some of the outstanding men of the present decade in these lines of endeavor received their training in the Practical Bible Training School. Missionaries have gone out into Asia and Africa as well as European countries and into many sections of the Western Hemisphere. A great many of the students after taking a course at Bible School Park have returned to their home churches as trained workers in their own individual communities. VIII. Precious in the Sight of the Lord Is the Death of His Saintsv Psalms ll6:l5. john A. Davis' circle of friends was large and far-reaching. During the days which God graciously permitted him to linger with us, people from every walk of life came to call. The rich and the poor, the high and the low alike had felt the influence of his Christ-like life. Hardly anyone came whom he could not recognize and he frequently spoke of the work in which they were engaged. Many Christian workers came to see him and al- ways went away inspired to do a greater work for God. Business men of repute came to his bedside. More than one of these prominent business men spoke of letters which Dr. Davis had written to him, wherein he had instilled bits of help for the Christian life. No, his work for Christ never ceased when he stepped from the platform or walked from the room where he had been teaching his class, but he carried Christ into the oflice, in his business, in conversa- tion, in the trains, on the buses, everywhere he went. As a result of a conversation on the bus or train, many a man has knelt, with a humble and a con- trite heart at the foot of the Cross and received the knowledge of sins forgiven and the upeace that pass- eth understanding' and, for the first time in life caught a glimpse of the Truth. Some of these stood by his bier and wept as they tenderly remembered moments when this great char- acter had introduced them to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and He, in turn, had taken them by the hand and led them in the Way everlasting! One dear old man, with snow white hair, stood looking for the last time on that noble face. For a moment, he was overcome by emotion but regaining control of himself he told of the time when it seemed as though he could not go one step farther. In front there was nothing but dense blackness. Above, the very clouds seemed to be pressing close down fairly smothering him in their density. His heart was breaking, he was friendless and penniless. What was he to do? What he did do was to put on his coat and hat and slip out into the darkness of the night and walk up to Bible School Park. The hour was late but in one of the windows of the adminis- tration building, he saw a light. He knew this to be the oihce of Dr. Davis. Dr. Davis' cheery Come in greeted his knock. He walked into the little othce and sat down. Dt. Davis, busy as he was, pushed back his work and was at once all attention. After listening carefully to all that the man had to say, he took him to the Throne of Grace, asking for courage and strength to be given to this brother in Christ. Afterward he sympathized with him, as only Dr. Davis could, then giving him a dollar which he had in his pocket, he sent him away feel- ing that, after all, life was really worth living and that there was, somewhere in this old world, a little corner, where he might work for Christ and be a blessing to someone else. This is one of many, many incidents which could be told of this same nature. john A. Davis always thought of and lived for others. Even on his bed during his last illness this was true. He tried to plan for the school and students, both always dear to his heart. He often sent mes- sages from his bed, telling them to carry onf' Only a good man can see good things in others. He Lived For Other! 33 During the very last days of his illness, three members of the faculty went to the little cottage to see him. He was very weak and had little interest in the things about him. As the names of the in- structors were mentioned, he gave sign that he rec- ognized them. Lifting his hand in that charac- terestic gesture, he pointed ahead three times. The teachers caught the mute message and cherished it in their hearts, resolving truly to carry on and move forward for God. He knew that his life's work was finished and on his lips might well have been the words, I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. He strove not to be a burden during the days when he was so ill. No, quite the contrary, it was a cherished blessing and a precious privilege to be near him. One afternoon, as his loved ones were near, wish- ing in their hearts that there might be just some little thing that they could do for him, suddenly the thin hand on the white coverlet stirred a bit. The eyes opened and that fine face lighted up as he appeared to be looking far into the recesses of hea- ven fand we believe he saw heaven that day, and he said, Is that Moody? Oh, I want to go and be with jesus! His passing from this earth was tranquil. Sur- rounding his bed were the members of the family, a sister of Mrs. Davis, Mr. M. C. Patterson, three nurses who had ministered to him during the entire five weeks of his illness, and a young man, one of the student body, who was there to aid in the car- ing of him. He went out without a struggle. About one-half hour before his passing, his breathing grew more irregular. Twice they thought he was gone but his tremendous energy which had characterized his whole life, seemed reluctant to subside. One minute he was here with us and then quickly as a Hash, he was in another world with the One, Whom he had served so faithfully these many years. His loyal wife, stood by his side until he had breathed his last. Then with tears streaming down her face she bent over and tenderly kissed the fur- rowed brow, whispering as she did so, It's all right, john dear, we've been together these thirty-nine years and it's all right. And looking around at each one of the little group and calling each one by their individual names, she said, You wouldn't have been here if it was'nt for him. The only thing I can think of is the song, 'When the Saints Come Marching In.' Gordon, his faithful son, who stood at the other side of the bed, bent emotionally over his father, saying, Yes, it's all right father, the Gates of Glory are opening now and you're going on to your re- ward. A few moments later, the big bell in the main dormitory solemnly tolled sixty-two times, thus tell- ing the sad news to the neighborhood. A great man of God had gone home. But behind he had left hundreds of persons whose lives he had vitally in- fluenced for his Lord. Though the solemn bell tolled out in mournful cadence there was no sorrow for kim in his death. He was one of those who: . . Sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach the grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. IX. O, DEATH WHERE IS THY STING? O, GRAVE WHERE IS THY VICTORY?', I Corinthians 15.55. The gray heavens were softly weeping. Nature appeared bowed in sympathetic sorrow. The vast crowd of people within King Hall were profoundly affected. There were beautiful flowers everywhere at the front of the large auditorium. That three thousand people crowded into King Hall was in itself a wonderful testimony. Two hun- dred of the Alumni of the School came from many fields of service. Other hundreds who could not come, sent tenderest messages of sympathy, and ex- pressed as fully as words could how deeply they ap- preciated the life of the man to whom every student who ever stepped upon the Campus owed so much. Those who participated in the service were: Rev. Ralph W. Carr, john Fulton, Rev. W. S. Crandall, D.D., Evangelist E. G. Crabill, john R. Clements, Rev. j. M. Siveright, Rev. Fred A. Mills-Dr. Davis' long time evangelistic song leader, and George H. Carr, for years the pianist of the party. Rev. Fred A. Mills led the congregation in the singing of Dr. Davis' favorite hymn, My Jesus I Love Theef' Rev. Siveright read the 14th chapter of John as the Scripture Lesson, after which prayer was offered by Mr. Fulton. Rev. Fred A. Mills sang This Day Comes Not Again, so characteristic of Dr. Davis' life. Dr. Crandall's was a most fitting address. In it he lik- ened the struggles of Dr. Davis to a scene which he, himself witnessed in a street in jerusalem. He de- Rejoice in the Lord alwayg and again I say, Rejoice. Phil. 4:4. 54 He Lived For Other! scribed a man staggering along under a huge load of food-stuffs, which he was carrying to a shop some distance down the street, where a group of hungry people were awaiting the arrival of the nourishment. This load bent the shoulders of the man until it seemed as though it would crush him. This illustration was recognized by all present as most descriptive of the last few years of Dr. Davis' strain to keep the Bread of Life available still to the students of the Practical Bible Training School. Reverends Carr and Mills sang beautifully No Night Theref, Following this John R. Clements read from many of the telegrams of sympathy that had come from some of the great men of God of our land. Mr. Mills sang one of Dr. Davis' favorite solos: Live for Others , after which Evangelist Ernest G. Crabill preached. The sermon began with Tenny- son's Crossing the Bar. Sunset and evening star And one clear call for meg And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound or foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embarkg ' For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place The Hood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. Then Mr. Crabill continued: 'ilt is most fitting that I stand here today at this bier to say some last words ere the body of this GREAT SOUL is carried to its resting place to wait the last trump at the coming of our blessed Lord jesus Christ. Many years ago, this man with whom I found a kindred spirit, talked with me of a day such as this, that would come to each of us, and we entered into a covenant, with each other, to minister at that serv- ice in the name of our common Lord. UI find it has fallen to my lot to perform this service to the best of my God-given ability. It was 33 years ago this spring, that I first met this man, at a Gospel service in the Binghamton Railroad Young Men's Christian Association, under whose auspices I had been recently converted. He captivated me with his loyalty to God's Word, and his unbounded enthusiasm, exhibiting a real passion for the souls of lost men. We became friends at once, and immediately he began to plan to assist me in my burning ambition to become useful in the service for Christ. i'It was he, who laid the plan for me to enter evan- gelistic work, and my wife and I became members of his party the following fall, a work that I have followed these years. And no one ever rejoiced any more than he over any success I may have had. I knew the last time I talked with him that his work was finished, that the body in which he lived was incapacitated to stand the strain longer in the terrific pace which this great soul had been driving it. But I never will be able to tell just how I felt when the telegram came announcing his death. I felt I was in an earthquake. I took hold of myself, but I still trembled inside. I felt that there was a prince and a great man fallen. I never knew I loved him so much. I took my Bible and turned to his favorite text which I had heard him quote so many times. Isaiah 5027, 'For the Lord God will help me, therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I Know that I shall not be ashamed' I thought, how characteristic of this man. He had set his face like a flint, and never wavered. Nothing could turn him from this course. He had a purpose in life. He sought to find the will of God for his life, and when once it was clear, he utterly refused to look back or turn aside. If he was knocked down he got up and went on. If he was knocked down again, he refused to quit. There was no such word as 'defeat' in his vocabulary. If there were stumbling stones in his way, he trans- formed them into stepping stones and thanked the Lord for them. If the mountain was high, he sum- moned more strength. If the job was hard, he took off his coat. He undertook great things for God yet nothing was too small for him. It was God's work. It must be done. He summoned every willing soul he met to assist him in the great work which God had called him. If they quit he still went on. i'He felt God had a place for every redeemed soul and urged all to work hard at his job, knowing that the night was speedily coming when no man can work. He was the most opposed man I have ever met. He was opposed by friend and foe. His own par- ents objected to his entering the ministry. His em- ployer in the Boston Store attempted to dissuade him from his conscious call of God. Fowler knew he was a good salesman. He sold more goods in the store, at the post where he was placed, than anyone before or since. He was a great leader. He saw a great Light Fiery mais make golden Christians. He Lived For Other!! 55 in the Valley. He knew it was of God. He had a real Christ. He must obey. He packed his grip and started to the railroad station to go to Moody's without money to pay his fare. Like Abraham-he staggered not at the promise, he believed God would help him, and he was not disappointed. Who ever has been? 'iHe drank deep of the wells of Salvation. He absorbed readily from all great saints of God. He coveted the spirit of devotion and usefulness of men like Moody, Whittle, and others. He aimed high, he would learn from anyone. He had only one purpose, namely, to spread God's Truth and do all the good he could for every needy soul. He was the most unsellish and kindhearted man I have ever known. He though the least of his own comforts, spending and being spent continually for others. He never seemed to think about eating and when he did eat, he seemed unconscious of what he was eating. He was always in a hurry-jealous of wasted time, yet cheerful. He liked play and a clean joke. He was frequently saying, 'While I live, I will be alive, I would sooner wear out than rust out.'-This he literally did. He might have lived to be old, but he cared not for a long life, but for a useful life. How he is to be admired. No day was long enough for him to work for the Lord. He worked on into the night after others were asleep. If others were nonplused, not knowing what to do, he came out from a night spent with God, with a plan that he was sure came from Heaven, and sum- moned everyone in haste to help him carry it out. He thought it was time to rest when his work was finished. He is resting now-Blessed Dead. Everything he touched lived-he was a natural Evangelist, he enthused people. Their spirits re- vived in his presence. He made people want to do something for God and for souls. One religious editor said, 'A great man gonef He has left a monument of his untiring zeal, the Practical Bible Training School, and hundreds of Pastors, Evangelists, Missionaries that are throughout the earth, of those he saved and trained. others, the extent What a gathering that will be! 'When the Saints Go Marching In. He will not know, nor will until the judgment seat of Christ. How he loved this place that God had entrusted to him and how he loved these students. Did he ever turn one away? No! He coveted every one for God and tried his best to impart all God had given him to them to help them multiply their use- fulness. God can use me, why not you? He made people believe they had some worth and could be used in God's service. His last request to me and his last conscious thoughts were john 10:27, 'My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.' john Davis has gone. You will see him here no more. His place is vacant-like the felling of a great oak-he will be missed. When you see him again he will not have a frail body, he will be a mighty giant for God. No man can fill his shoes. He has carried bur- dens enough for ten ordinary men. There was only one john A. Davis. God will still carry on His work, He will reveal His plans to others as He has to john. They may not be the same but God's purpose will not al. It is hard to say 'Good-bye.' Every friend of mine that goes, makes me almost sorry that I can- not go. Over the river faces I see, Fair as the morning looking for me. Free from their sorrows, grief and despair, Waiting and watching, patiently there. Looking this way, yes, looking this way Loved ones are waiting, looking this way. Under an apple tree 40 years ago john Davis re- ceived his vision of his life work. john, I have kept my word. I have done my best, and just one thing more before I have fully kept my covenant with you. I must ask these gath- ered here if they love your Lord and more. Everyone who walked out of King Hall that day, walked out a different person. No one could be in such a service and remain the same. The life of Dr. Davis was vividly and impressively revealed to all. Two very impressive features of the funeral were the carrying of the casket down a path to the grave on the hillside, through a long row of students formed on either side of the path, many of them with Horal displays in their arms, and the other, the many students passing by the grave after the casket had been partly lowered into it, each one as they passed dropping a rose upon the casket of their benefactor and friend. is 14 as The journey from King Hall to the grave was made through a drizzling rain, as if even the Heavens were weeping over the loss the school, the commu- nity, and the educational world at large had suffered. Said one at the funeral: When we come to yon- der hill-slope grave, and have said 'Ashes to ashes, dust to dust' I trust we will think, even if we do not speak aloud, in the words of the poet, this fond wish for our friends of the years. 'War'in summer sun shine brightly here, Soft southern breeze blow gently hereg Green sod above lie light, lie light, Good night, tleur hearty Uimil Illghll Guild Iliglltl' U And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Gal. 6:9. 36 He Lived For Other! Beautiful the thought, and unusual the experience for hundreds of students, past and present, and for hosts of friends to circle the grave in the falling rain, and as the casket was being lowered sing with strong, confident faith, numerous gospel songs in- cluding Dr. Robert Lowry's great resurrection song: Up from the grave He arose With a mighty triumph o'er his foesg He arose a victor from the dark domain, And He lives forever with His saints to reigng He arose! He arose! Hallelujah Christ arose. A pledge to the conviction that Christ having arisen, those who are His will rise also. X. HE BEING DEAD Hebrews It was two days before Easter. That morning the rising bell rang at five thirty. By six o'clock the student body of the School was on Sunset Knoll, gathered around the grave of their departed presi- dent. DR. DAVIS' GRAVE ON SUNSET KNOLL The newly-made grave was covered with ever- green, and in this green bed a beautiful lily had been placed. Rev. Gordon C. Davis was in charge of the serv ice, and led in the singing of several familiar hymns. As the note of the last hymn died away Rev. M. C. Patterson offered prayer. Following this Rev. Mar mion L. Lowe read from the Scriptures. Then john YET SPEAKETH. ll:4. R. Clements spoke about the blessing which Dr. Davis had been to unnumbered lives, and expressed thankfulness for having been one of his associates. Numerous students spoke briefly, mentioning their thankfulness for the life of Dr. Davis and express- ing their faith in Christ as the resurrection and the life. The early morning worshippers then went to Friendship Cottage, the home of Dr. Davis, and in front of the house sang for Mrs. John A. Davis, Theres a Land That Is Fairer Than Day and God Will Take Care of You. This may have been the forerunner of many Sun- rise Services at the grave of Dr. Davis. That out of the deep spiritual tone of the meeting an unsaved young man was moved to yield to jesus Christ as his Saviour was not without deep significance. He, being dead yet .rpeaketlwf Thou noble man! God's man! Who didst not turn to right nor left But ever followed on To know the Lord, Thy work is done, rest on Gently enfolded in God's arms of love. For thee to live was Christ And death thy gain! Rest fearlesslyg rest heart! Thy Lord for thee didst conquer death, And Christ, through toil of thine, lives In men. 011 The way to be manly is to be Godly.

Almost through with the strain nnal strife The warp and woof of a busy life! Through with the road that led mid tears To the summit heights of rounded years. Through with the gains that oft proved loss: -Through with the heavy splintered cross. No more the nights with disturbing dreams, XVhen nothing proves the thing it seems. Through with the thoughts of others cares That creep into helpfulness unawares: And stilled forever the helping hand That many Were led to understand: Hushed the voice that had swayed the throng, ln trumpet calls both loud and long: Closed the eyes that had seen afar The havoc of life's rough jolt an-d jar: And hushed almost the heart that bled For hosts in sin who sat as dead. Feet no more to move swift and free, NVhere needy of earth were wont to bc. Almost through, -but bliss of the years, The stillness breaks with myriad cheers. The Gates of Pearl are tonight ajar There's a Pilgriin coming who journeyed far! -John lt.

Our prayers attend him and our experiences commend him as he thus labors on for his Lord. He will undoubtedly exert an everfincreasing influence upon the forces for Christian education in America and the world. RIA . GLRALD B. Wursaon, D.D. Dr. Gerald B. Winrod occupies a unique position in the annals of the Practical Bible Training School. He has literally made a place for himself in the schoolfbut through genuine, unselhsh love, rather than self assertion. To this man, because of his timely and unstinted assistance along the lines of iinancial reforganization, and because of his many inspiring and encouraging lessons, not only as delivered from the lecture platform, but as they are seen incarnated in his life-- we owe an irreparable debt. We respect him for his ability, we admire him for his bravf ery, but we love him for his unsellishness. XVeelQly services neglected, make weakly Christians.

IN MEMORIAM STEVE RITZ- Gave his heart to the Lord when he was sixteen years of age, was bap- tized and became a member of the johnson Avenue Baptist Church, Hazelwood, Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania. He was a clean-cut young fellow who could look any man in the eye and say a word for his Lord. He never faltered but steadily grew in the knowledge of his Saviour until at the age of twenty he definitely consecrated his life to his Lord. He believed and practiced Matt. 516, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. He loved the Word and had a burning desire to study for the ministry which was consumated in the fall of 1931, when he came to the Practical Bible Training School, with deep faith in the supernatural power of the Triune God and a firm desire to be a real soul winner. Always a man of prayer and hard work, it was not long before he had touched the lives of most of the students in a spiritually helpful manner, and in the short time that he was here left a record that few students have equalled, and none surpassed, for con- secration and willingness to perform the tasks set before him. His home-going on December 22, 1931 was a shock to his many friends, but has brought some to the Lord. Many have felt the spiritual force of his life. We look forward to the resurrection where we shall again see him, not changed but glorified. GEORGE FARQUHAR, M.D., - A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania who, after a number of busy years lived as a physician, a part of which was spent in the service of his country when she needed men, listened to the call of God to lay aside his regular daily duties and came to Bible School Park to learn of God. The hospital was his home, the medical needs of the students, his loving service, the Book of books, his absorbing interest. Every hour was lived in the light of the face of the Great Physician of Galilee. Called in an emergency arising through the need of a student hurt in an accident near the front of the main building, and ministering of his skill to this one in need, he suddenly raised his hands and, with a single exclamaton of surprise, his heart stopped and his spirit was carried by the Angels to the Lord whom he loved. His classmates discharged their service of love to his body with heads bowed and spirits grieving, but withal, rejoicing in the fact that another of their class could look into the wonderful face of the Lord whom he loved, and knowing that to depart and be with Christ is far better. ELLA JAMES --Y- There went from this earthly house to a house eternal in the heavens on February 12, 1933, the third member of the class of '34, to be summoned from a life of anticipated usefulness in full-time service for the Master, to join the hosts re- deemed by the Blood of the Lamb. Ella james had a rollicking, fun-loving, good-natured and easy-going disposition. To friends not so intimately acquainted with her she might have appeared to have no qualities tending to make her one of the prominent members of her class, but those who knew her best could tell that she had an intense love for Iesus Christ and an earnest desire to live close to Him. A lack of much previous edu- cation made the course at school very difiicult, but she steadily forged ahead in spite of the obstacles in the way. The most outstanding characteristic by which she is still tenderly remembered, and which has been a great blessing and a wonderful lesson, is this: When health began to decline rapidly and physical strength gave way, her faith in God remained firm. In her suffering she would say, 'll don't know why this has come upon me, but it must be for a purpose, so I am content to let God have His way. A few weeks after leaving school she passed happily on to be with the Saviour whom she loved. - i -Y 1 1 He Lived For Otlaerru 77 A MESSAGE TO THE UNDERGRADUATES And they cried out, all at once, saying 'Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas' fLuke 23:18j. jesus had been tried in Pilate's hall and found guilty of no crime. Pilate had given the jews the choice of releasing jesus, the Man without sin, or Barabbas, the sinner. And the jews, jesus' own brethren, had chosen Barabbas. They really said, Give us Barabbas, the vile murderer, rather than jesus, the sinless Son of God. Fellow students of the junior and Freshman classes, we as an outgoing class, congratulate you. We con- gratulate you because of the splendid choice you have made. As the jews were given the choice of jesus or Barabbas, so you have been required to take either jesus or the world. The jews cast jesus aside and took Barabbas. You have cast the world aside and have taken jesus, have accepted Him as your Saviour and Master, have come to Bible School to prepare for His service. We do indeed congratulate you. We thank you, underclassmen, for the Christian fellowship which we have enjoyed with you. Such fellowship has served to enrich our lives and to strengthen our faith in God. As we depart from our Alma Mater, may we leave one bit of counsel with you? If so, let it be this- in sunshine or in shadow, in hope or despair, look only to jesus, for He is the Captain of your lives and His grace will be sufficient for your every need. There will doubtless be times before you lin- ish your course, when you will be sorely tried, and tempted to give up. At those times let your troubles draw you close to Him. ' Dr. E. Stanley jones gives us a splendid illustra- tion of drawing close to God through trial. He tells us that the eagle, when caught in a storm, does not allow the tempest to dash him to the ground. Rather he sets his wings to the gale in such a manner that it bears him safely above the tempest. So, likewise, when the storms of doubt, fear and discouragement assail you, set the wings of your souls to the blast and be borne above the storm of trouble, into a closer relationship with God. Thus you will come into a state of more complete reliance upon Him. If on a quiet sea Towards heaven we calmly sail With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee We'll own the favoring gale. But should the surges rise And rest delay to come, Blest be the tempest, kind the storm That drives me nearer home. May God richly bless you throughout the future, may He always keep you close to Himself, may He ever lead you in paths of noble service and unselfish devotion to the glorious gospel of His Son. A MESSAGE FROM THE UNDERCLASSMEN jesus had, one day, been teaching beside the beau- tiful sea of Galilee. lt was now evening and the sun was sinking rapidly beneath the nearby horizon, painting the sky with the gold and blue, of Christ's heavenly glory. It was then that jesus turned to His disciples and spake these words, Let us pass over unto the other side. They boarded a vessel and as they sailed, jesus slept. Suddenly a storm arose. The wind, driven by all the powers of Satan, lashed the waves into roaring mountains of fury and destruction, threatening at every moment to overwhelm the vessel and send it with its precious cargo of souls to the depths of the sea. The disciples, frightened by the impending disaster, awakened jesus. He, putting the omni- potent power of the God-head against the lesser sway of the Prince of the air, quieted the tumult with those words so sublime Peace be still. CLASS OF '54-you have finished your course at the school. Three years have come and gone and you, having left your nets to follow Christ have be- come able-bodied seamen, ready to face the storm of life. Now you are launching out from this harbor into the great deep of Christian service. Your months of faithful labor, your devotion to duty, your conse- cratedb life and the moments spent alone with your Captain have furnished you with a well-built, well- balanced ship. You will not go alone. The world will otferits responsibilities and many souls will be in your care. jesus Christ too, will be there to guide you through the rough places. He is calling to you, Let us pass over unto the OTHER side. Over there is the port of Heaven with the harbor of Peace beckoning you into its realm of Eternal Bliss. You know not what lies between but you are ready to set sail and give your best for the Masters glory. Remember this, Christ says, l'Let us pass over unto the OTHER side,', His destination is fixed, His goal clear. His words hold no room for failure. You can know that Christ, though seemingly asleep, will never allow the ship which He commands, to be de- molished by any storm. You can be sure that you will reach the other side, for, He which hath begun a good work in you, will perform it unto the day of jesus Christ. Come what may, fair weather or foul, with Christ you can never know defeat. The waves may be high but you standing on the bridge of your ship, can call through the gale and the gloom with which Satan will try to engulf you, Christ is the1Master of my fate, Christ is the Captain of my sou . For l determined not to know anything among you, save jesus Christ, and Him cruciyiedf I Cor. 212.

FRESI-IMEN CURRICULUM BIBLE DOCTRINE:--is the foundation upon which is built the more scientific study of the deeper truths known as Theology. This is the subject which gives the student a firm Biblical basis for the remainder of his training. OLD TESTAMENT HISTORY: In this course the student is given a grasp of the general sequence of events, in Old Testament Scripture, from the creation to the four hundred silent years after Malachi. BIBLICAL INTRODUCTION: Gives the student a glimpse of the geographical conditions, and Bible manners and customs existing at the time of Christ's ministry here on earth. This course results in giving the student an intelligent comprehension of Scripture, through the interpretation of the text in the light of the customs of the day. The last term of the study is concerned with an examination of the historical evidence for the veracity of the Scriptures, especially as concerned with the ancient manuscripts, translations, and the canon. ENGLISH BIBLE I and II: English Bible I seeks to give to the student an in- terest in Bible study through the discussion of methods and materials, particularly Bible marking. This makes this course both practical and invaluable. English Bible II en- deavors to lead the student to a mastery of the subject matter of the scriptures. In both of these courses the Scofield Reference Bible is the main textbook. EVANGELISM:-is the subject which instills within the heart of every student a deep desire and passion for leading souls to Christ, and fits them to give adequate Scripture for every contingency that arises when dealing with souls. IDEAL HELPS 8: APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY: This is the one class to which every student looks forward, because it is here that we have been taught by our late president, Dr. Davis, to develop the ability to put into practice the practical side of our Christian life and work. It was in this class that he taught us to adapt ourselves, and to be ready for every circumstance and emergency that might arise in our fields of labor. This class is now being carried on by men who have been imbued with the very life and actions of Dr. Davis, and have actually put into practice that which they acquired at the feet of this great man of God. This work is an integral part of the work of the school and will be carried on from year to year. PUBLIC SPEAKING: It is here that the student is fitted to appear before the public in a more pleasing and effective manner in presenting the Gospel Truths. ENGLISH I 8a II: This course in English covers particularly the Grammar and some composition. MUSIC: Provision is made for those possessing musical ability, it being possible to engage the best of teachers for both instrumental and vocal music. Keep not two tongues in 4 1 month.

This is done both by classroom and research work. NEW TESTAMENT HISTORY:m-concerns itself with the inter-testament period, the earthly ministry of Christ, and the Acts of the Apostles. OLD TESTAMENT INTERPRETATION: This course includes the rules for the interpretation of the Old Testament, and makes a decided impression upon the mind of the student as to the great difference between the interpretation and the ap- plication of Scripture. It makes the narratives and typology of the Old Testament vivid and interesting to the student, and from them draws many interpretative lessons rela- tive to the person and work of the Lord jesus Christ. JUNIOR HOMILETICS: This course is very helpful in that it enables the stu- dent to master the fundamentals of sermonizing. Its aim is to help the student to deliver his message so as to win a hearing and to win his hearers to Christ, and to present the unsearchable riches of Christ in a more tactful and orderly manner. ENGLISH III:-this is primarily composition work. GREEK I:-is a course which gives the student a grammatical foundation for future translation in this language, that of the New Testament. STENOGRAPHIC COURSE: This course covers a period of two years.

It is sought to understand the jew better, so that the student may do more effec- tive work among the jews, one of the great problems of the church. SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY: This course gives the student a firmer grip upon and a clearer comprehension of the deep truths learned in the previous study of Bible doctrine. PASTORAL THEOLOGY: Helps to prepare the student for the practical work of the pastorate. It deals with visitation, occasion services, such as weddings, funerals, etc. Prospective pastors find an answer to many future problems in this class.

He Lived For Otberf' 85 THE SUMMER CONFERENCE AN OASIS IN THE DESERT And the apostles gathered themselves together unto jesus, and told Him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. And He said unto them, 'Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest awhile, . . .' Mark 6:30-31. Even today we can hear these same words falling upon our ears. As the Master spoke to His apostles so He speaks to us today. What the oasis means to the desert, the Annual Summer Bible Conference means to those who desire to have a fresh drink at the Liv- ing Spiritual Fountain yearly. Those who have heard the call, follow me and have answered to the command Go ye therefore into all nations, preaching, teaching and baptizingf' labor strenuously from year to year in their chosen fields of service, and when the Infinite Creator sees ht to roll the hands of time around to the hot sum- mer months they are seeking for a spiritual refresh- ing which will enable them to continue their activi- ties. So they, with many others, from every walk of life, find upon these grounds, the rest of which the Master spoke. This great Oasis, or conference, to which we refer, is one of the best held anywhere in the world. Many of the outstanding and best known speakers from every section of the land have been brought to this conference. They set forth truths from the impreg- nable word of the Living God. Among those whom we might mention are: Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, William Billy Sunday, Dr. Wm. Beiderwolf, Dr. Charles Inglis, Mr. Roy Brown, Dr. R. E. Neighbour, Evangelist Harry VonBruch, Dr. Buswell, Dr. Gerald B. Winrod, and Lucius B. Compton. When our beloved founder realized the great need of such a conference in this section of the country he made it his purpose to have every message that went forth from the platform ring true to the fun- damental doctrines of the Bible. To him much credit is due for the success of this great conference. The most outstanding and ne'er to be forgotten moments of the entire conference are the ones spent on Sunset knoll. The knoll will be of untold value to many lives now that the body of our beloved President and founder is there, laid to rest. When the sun sinks below the horizon, the heavens glow for a full hour after its departure with its dying fires. Here in the hush of the twilight, God seems to be very near and the rolling Susquehanna echoes na- tures' amen to every prayer. To those who are and shall be seeking rest from the year of toil and anguish we heartily recommend that the last ten days of july be spent upon these sacred grounds. The cares of life will not infest the day, and jesus in all of His beauty will be re- vealed. Together with the spiritual blessings, the campus offers opportunity for all phases of summer sports. We urge you to start now to spend your vacation with us, and enjoy the balming, soothing waters that shall flow from this Oasis of God in the midst of a parched and thirsting world. Come ye with me into a desert place apart There peace and strength ye shall receivc That I alone impart. Sweet indeed is the Savioufs call To every Christian heart, With the battle of sin we are weary all, And welcome His Come ye apart. l'Tlierefm'c if amy man he in Christ, he is zz new creature, old things are passed awayq behold, all things are become new. ll Cor. 5:17. a He Lired For Oilaerr' THE SENIOR LEAGUE OF MANY NATIONS The Freshman class on Thanksgiving Day 1922, as a part of their program, pre- sented several dramatizations. One of these was an act in which the various students of different nationalities exhibited the same through wearing their native dress and giving a brief testimony. Dr. john A. Davis, while observing this tableau, conceived the idea of developing this simple presentation into an effective and stirring service. lt was on that day that the Students' League of Many Nations had its inception. This organization, which is composed of from fourteen to eighteen students, travels throughout most of the year. Strikingly dressed in their native costumes, they witness through music, song, and testimony to the fact that Christ saves, keeps and satisfies. This unique service has been given in every state in the Union, and in Canada and Mexico. They have covered over 150,000 miles by bus, or over five times the distance around the world at the equator. Meetings have been held in many of the largest churches in the nation. The National Convention of Evangelists and Christian Workers has for several years, closed its yearly convention with this service. This past year in Philadelphia, as the League closed this convention 586 young people either consecrated or rededicated their lives to God. Everywhere the League travels, there are souls saved, lives blessed, and churches revitalized. Since October there have been definite conversions at every service. Besides the routine league work, the league members pursue their studies with reg- ular class periods under the efficient teaching of Miss Ruth Gathany. The Personnel changes from time to time, but the present group is made up of the following members: Rev. M. C. Patterson, leader, Mrs. M. C. Patterson, represent- ing the Spirit of America, Thomas Ortego, representing the Navajo Indians, Mino DeGuzman, the Philippine Islands, Dominic Cimino, Italy, james Eelman, Holland, Zellec Chayett, the Russian jew, Thomas Estrada, Mexico, Bert Norman, Sweden, Charles Brown, England, john Klinepeter, Pennsylvania Dutch, Loleta Drake, France, Ruth Gathany, Scotland, Ella jendrick, Hungary, and Wilmtl Barker, the Spirit of the School. Gods word is the souls medicine. THE JUNIOR LEAGUE OF MANY NATIONS Upon the inception of what is known as the Senior League of Many Nations, and due to the fact there were so many calls, that this group could not answer, with the wise counsel of Dr. Davis, a group known as the junior League was organized. The junior League of Many Nations is very similar to the Senior League, in fact, the students may be taken from one and placed in the other, without any difficulty. This group does not travel very extensively, but covers a territory ranging within the radius of two to three hundred miles of the school, holding week-end services. However, during the summer months the group has been known to take longer trips and covers much more territory. The program is very much like the Senior Leagues, and consists mainly of personal testimonies. The messages are informative as well as inspirational. God has mightily used and blessed this group. They have been instrumental in pointing many hundreds of souls to 'lThe Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. It is said to be one of the greatest one-night services in the world. Pastors have stated that more has been accomplished for Christ in one League service that has been brought about in a series of meetings lasting several days, or in some cases, even weeks. This is the group which Dr. Davis, himself, personally supervised. It was one of his last requests that this work, so greatly honored of God, be carried on. So under the direction of Rev. and Mrs. C. W. Carter, this noble group will continue to Carry on wherever the Lord may lead. The personnel at present is composed of the following: American Soldier, Ralph Lindsey, Sailor, Basil Koble, Indian Princess, Henrietta Lindsey, Cowboy, Franklin Holden, Holland, Robert DeBoer, England, Thelma Wratten, Spirit of the School, Wilmai Barker, Yankee, Eugene Boutelle, Germany, Mary Ellis, Switzerland, Kenneth Miller, Italy, Rose Costanzo, Dutch, Jeanette Blink, France, Lucious Argone.

He Lived For Otherf' 87 He Lived For Otherf' THE PLACE OF ATHLETICS IN P.B.T.S. One day while recovering from sickness in a hospital I heard the following con- versation between a Christian nurse and a young Believer. He had been confined to his bed for some time and felt he should be up and about the Master's service. Don't you think I am able to leave? he inquired. I don't like to lose so much time. He received the following practical answer, Yes, I suppose it is possible for you to resume your work now but a relapse and a ruined body might be the result. The Lord can use you more when you are well than he can when you are ill. This is an important truth. We should not destroy our health today and thus lose years of service for Him. It is in order to build and maintain healthy bodies that we have athletics in Bible School. The Scriptures say, What, know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you? The God whom we serve is entitled to the best that can be given Him. In Romans 12:1-2 Paul beseeches us to present our bodies holy and acceptable unto God. In Leviticus God commands the People to bring a perfect sacrifice. If there- fore we present our bodies strong and well developed, will they not be a more accept- able gift to God than if we bring them in a weakened condition. At the Practical Bible Training School while the main stress is laid upon Spiritual growth, the physical, mental and social aspects of our lives are not ignored. In developing the physique of the students a variety of athletics are available. Baseball finds favor with many of the young men in the warm days of early fall and spring. Many close games are witnessed by interested students. Tennis is popular with both boys and girls. Many proficient players are found among the student body. The court is usually occupied. The central place, however, is taken by basketball which affords abundant exer- cise and clean sportsmanship. Many inter-class games are played each year. Each class team works hard and is faithfully supported by their classmates in their effort to carry away the laurels of victory. A varsity team composed of the best players of each class fight for the record of the school. Great loyalty to the school is shown in the painstaking practice and clean, hard playing. Much could be said of the splendid co-operation, painstaking practice, and true sportsmanship of each individual player on this year's team, but it is suHicient to say that each player has done his best to fill the place assigned to him. It is to this fine spirit of co-operation that the record of this season thus far, can be attributed. Among the players on the girls' team a like spirit has been shown. Fine teamwork has been manifested and as a result the team has come through the season with but few defeats and many victories. The most distinctive factor in both the boys' and girls' games is the opening of the games with prayer. When each team is gathered in their dressing room for the final instructions before going on the floor, prayer is offered to Almighty God that all will proceed according to His Divine will. Before the whistle shrills for the first toss- up someone steps out on the floor and, while the players of both teams and the specta- tors, stand quietly and reverently in their places, prayer is again offered to God for His approval and care. Because of this fact many beautiful scenes have been witnessed as members of the visiting teams were drawn closer to the Lord while others have confessed Christ as their personal Saviour for the first time. We are thankful we can witness for our Saviour, not only from the pupit but in our every-day living and even in sports. He who does nothing is the man to find fault.

Here is the possibility of a great fellowship, contingent upon our decision to walk in the light as He is in the light. The ideal toward which our Alumni constantly presses is the promotion of this fel- lowship of kindred minds, the making of Jesus Christ known, and the giving of all possible support to our Alma Mater, which, under God, has contributed so largely to 1:5'7. our understanding of The Word, and to the practical application of that 'Word to heart, life, and service. If we read aright the sign posts of this day, we conclude that we are very near the Coming of Our Blessed Lord. We may be weary, worn and battle scarred, but Eternal rest will soon be ours.
