Evangelistic Department

/ • / T IS generally admitted by those in a position to know that the most needy, i l l and in some respects, the most difficult field in the home land if not in the world is the Pacific Coast States. Our evangelistic efforts have been in this section during the past year, extending from California to Washington. About four months was spent in three of the larger cities, San Francisco, Portland and Spokane. The visible results as compared with past years are possibly less, for it becomes more and more difficult to reach men every year, but from the standpoint of quality we have never witnessed a more thorough work in our experience than we have seen done in some of these places. In each instance the strong and far- reaching work was preceeded by a great volume of prayer. One pastor in writing to us concerning work, inclosed his church calendar, in which we saw the statement that seventy-eight people in his church had pledged themselves to pray for a revival. This fact led us to accept the call, for we felt sure something worth while would take place, and we were not disappointed. Revivals never happen, they are always the result of conditions met. Any church willing to pay the price may have a revival.
