8 METHODS COMMENDED

After hearing this appeal, the late Dr. R. T. Williams, general superintendent, said to me, "Jarrette, anyone who would lie and present himself for membership after hearing your appeal would lie to a membership committee or church board." The late General Superintendent James B. Chapman, after listening to this appeal said to a friend, "That is the sanest, safest way I have ever seen or heard anyone publicly take members into our church."

Dr. E. P. Ellyson, a former general superintendent, on the last night of a revival meeting, after hearing the writer make this appeal, remarked, "That is the sanest and best method I have heard."

Mr. E. S. Carmen, who united with the church in one of our meetings in Cleveland, Ohio, and who was for years one of the prominent laymen on our General Board, said, "I don’t think I would have ever united with the Church of the Nazarene if it had not been for your public appeal; it hit me just right.

Many pastors and laymen have commended this method. After my using it in churches all over the nation, not one has ever written us to say that my method of talking folk into the church has caused heartache and trouble.
