"METHODIST LONDON "CAMPAIGN."
Gipsy Smith, the well-known preacher and evangelist, is to take part in a ten-day "campaign" appeal to non-Church-goers in London, which the Wesleyan, Primitive, and United Methodists have joined to promote. The meetings will be held in the Albert Hall from November 16-27. A choir of 1,000 voices will lead the singing. Within a radius of one mile of the Albert Hall 30,000 visits are being paiid by Methodists to the houses and flats of rich and poor alike and as far as circumstances permit a personal invitation will be given to residents in this area to attend the Albert Hall Mission. The general secretary of the "campaign" is the Rev. O Ensor Walters, Room 79, 1 Central-buildings, Westminster, SW1."

"GIPSY SMITH'S MISSION.
At the Royal Albert Hall last evening Gipsy Smith inaugurated his evangelistic mission campaign in London. Long before the beginning of the service the hall was filled, and when the preacher rose to speak he faced an audience of many thousands. The service was broadcast from 2LO. At the close of the service Gipsy Smith appealed to those listening in who had boxed at the hall, which they would not be using during the week, to place them at the disposal of the mission, so that they would not have to turn thousands away as they had already done."
