"The very thought of a boy evangelist' makes me shudder," said Bishop Julius in his sermon the other evening. The Bishop went on to say that for a callow youth, inexperienced, without weight or authority, and without the guidance of the sober teachings of the ehurch, to undertake to deal with men's souls was utterly presumptuous. Dealing with "revival missions" in general, he said that while he believed those conducting them were good earnest men, that they preached the Gospel and that they did good, he also believed that they lacked in many instance? the proper qualifications for the permanent winning of souls. Too many people were "converted" for five or six weeks, and then were ready to be "converted" again by the next mission which came along.
