Receives Applause. Superintendent Frank M. Driggs received re-ceived hearty applause when, in his talk, he detailed anticipated results from two of its phases, saying in part: "You have asked me to express my opinion as to the influence of the re--vival upon this community. "There Is no question but that all of ur. need to be occasionally spurred on to greater activity no matter what our chosen work may be. Some of us have almost to be driven to do our best. Whatever then comes and causes caus-es us to exert greater effort toward the doing of better deeds must be a beneficial Influence. Influences, Incentives, In-centives, circumstances, desires surround sur-round us and constantly call 'Come on!' We are, all of us, radiators, radiating rad-iating our unconscious, unknown powers. pow-ers. We are, all of us, absorbers, drinking in the atmosphere round about. If the atmosphere be saturated saturat-ed ith salt from the great dead sea to the west of us we must feel Its effect. If the air comes from the snowy peaks on the east, its chill reaches the marrow of our bones It the breezes happen to be filled with the perfume of sweet flowers we are delighted with the odor. "And so when the atmosphere of Ogden becomes saturated with the spirit of the Master, His kindly deeds. Ills humane thoughts, His loving kindness, all of us are Influenced by the splrlt-laden air. The effect of such an atmosphere must be a wholesome, whole-some, uplifting, Chrlst-Uke Influence upon 'the entire community. There is, however, another and perhaps greater great-er power coming from this revival. The uniting of the forces fostering, promoting and sustaining the movements move-ments so successfully launched, may mean much to Ogden and its citizens. In unity there is greater strength. I, for one, am happy to see this comradeship com-radeship among the men of Ogden. The precedent you have established is one deserving of hearty commendation." commenda-tion." Has Much Humor.

Cooper, who concluded con-cluded his talk by Baying "Any man who lives up to the teachings- of the Christ will never go hungry and his children will not be gfor bread. The Bible should be the rules of order for every business house. Paul sums it all up when he says, 'Be diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.' " Dr. E. P. Mills discussed the revival from the standpoint of effect on both the moral and physical welfare of the community, as well as the standpoint of spiritual development. O. A.
