BIitChell is holiday» grandparents at A]- is her The mammoth crowds that repeat- edly assemble to hear him at. every opportunity is conclusive evidence as to his drawing power. Last year, while conducting a series of Sunday meetings in the London Royal Albert Hall, Pastor Russell received written communications through the mail from more than six thousand persons, requesting printed copies of his ser- mons. So spontaneous a demand was both unprecedented and unlooked for. Another evidence of his popularity on the other side of the rolling blue is the publication of his weekly ser- mons in something over three hun- dred papers in England, Ireland, Scotland. Ausn‘aliu. In the early part of his ministry smaller cities were frequently visited. but not so now. since his field of operation has become world-wide. and the urgent. invitations to deliver free public lectures in the. largest cities have become so numerous that even all of these cannot. be accepted. For the. past several years Pesto:r Russell has made semi-annual foreign tours. and. through the press reports of his meetings held in large public halls of the leading cities. he has received much favorable comment and publicity. ‘ - Wonderful Drawing Power. As a public speaker on Bible topics, Pastor Rucsell stands unrivaledâ€" stands alone in a place created by his own individual work. a place not previously attained nor occupied by another. “It is not the non-church-going tendencies of the Age that I want to talk to you about. although my ‘theme’ is more or less closely con- nected with that. subject. You have all, I think, heard of Pastor Russell, the wonderful American preacher, who has just been inducted to the charge of the London Tabernacle. known all over the United Kingdom and thous- ands of miles beyond. as the pulpit of the revered Spurgeon. Mr. Russell has achirwed a position in the world of religious thought unequaled by any living Divine. And. curiously enough, he delivers his message to far more people ‘outside’ the church than could ever be brought t<_>get.lier within the walls of the largest temple in the Universe. His sermons and writings have won for thmiselves an extraor- dinary popularity in America and I am credibly informed that Pastor Russell’s printed books on religious subjects are. excelled in circulation only by the Bible itself. Just think what this means. It means that'rnil- lions of people all over the world have found something in Pastor Ruso sell’s sermon-s. essays and lectures which they have been unable to dis- cover in any other religious writings apart from the Great Book itself. A Weekly Talk. “Now to come to the crux of the matter. I feel sure that the vast majority of my readers will learn with pleasure that I have arranged for a weekly contribution from the pen of Pastor Russell. A ‘sermonette’ Mr. Russell himself calls it. but I have an idea it will be found to be some- thing more, something fuller, than merely a condensed sermon. I have been reading a selection of the famous Pastdr’s religious writings, and they appeal to me as being more of the nature of quiet, discursive talks on serious subjects than sermons of pul- pit deliverances of the conventional description. Pastor Russell is a clear. easily understood thinker; he eschews dogma and all subtleties of form and faith, and he says what he has to say on the great truths of religion and morals in plain but always beautiful language. He speaks and writes not only to the ordinary church-goer, as The Editor of Great Britain’s fore- most. family paper. The People’s Jour- nal, has so aptly commented and act- ed on tho matter that. we can do no better than to quote here the heart» to-h-eart talk he gave his readers. He Said: The famed Bibi" defmder. the ven- erable Pastor RuSsell of London and Brooklyn Tabernaclus. has won un- stinted praise from th" pTPRS and pubâ€" lic of many nations hy forty years’ unpeasing activity as evangPI-ist and wr1ter. we ace/«pt Ihe phrase. but to all in- telligent. men and women, and I for one can quite 0:911 appreciate the unparalleled popularity which he has achieved in Americaâ€"a popularity, I feel convinced. he will very soon equal in this country. Pastor Russell’s talks will begin in the Journal next week, and I am .hopeful that they will ya The Press of America. Pastor Russell’s popularity abroad does not deprive him of the honor of preaching to the largest congregation in America. Surprising as it may seem, his sermons are at present pub- lished in more than one thousand newspapers in America reaching a roximately ten million homes wee . y. Last June and July, while mak- ing a transcontinental tour to attend the Bible Students Convention at San Francisco, Pastor Russelhmade sever- al stops en route, and the reception everywhere accorded the “American Spurgeon” was most heartcheering. Many excellent accounts of his meetings were published. “The San Francisco Call,” in making reference to what other papers were saying,in- tetestingly summarized as follows: “Pastor Russell’s given name 1-38 been lost to public record during the last ten years, in which he has been famous as the great ‘Pastor’â€"plain Pastor Russellâ€"who has swayed hun- dreds of thousands in this country and abroad. "Do they come to hear him? Well, rather! So far it has been impossiblg to engages. hall large enough to he] the crowds. Dreamland Rink has been hired for this occasion. In Kansas City, Denver, [Salt Lake and L08 An. geles the Pastor and his faithful crew have taken the populace by storm. The newspapers have given him more space than a war scare and print his speeches like a Presidential message? “M“ “Ill _ -_V an extnmgv popular feature vi the Journal.
