NEARLY 100 TO JOIN METHODIST CHURCH; 75 MEN ORGANIZE B Pastor of World’s Largest Class Credits Personality—Has . Undenominational Organization. Personality was the keynote and generad theme of a mass meeting for men at Trinity Methodist church last evening. As a result of this meeting 75 men have joined in what i1 ex- pected to become the largest inen’s bible class in Connecticut within® a short time. In addition, upwards of 100 people have made arrangements to join the church tomorrow. Rev. Mr. Bartholow Speaks. Rev. Dr. O. F. Bartholow, pastor of the Methodist church in Mount Ver- non, N. Y., a city considerably smaller than New Britain, yet pastor of the largest men’s bible class in the world and a man of powerful physique and “more powerful personality, was speak- er of the evening. ? “Teddy’s Personality. Rev. Dr. Bartholow began by de- fining personality as ‘‘the greatest thing in the world.” ‘Personality,” he sald, “is like electricity. We know what it does but we don’t know what IG MEN'S BIBLE CLASS time I enter the door. It don't make any difference whether it's his Phila- delphia store, New York or Paris. Beging With Bible. “Philosophy begins and ends with personality. In a sense the philoso- Dhers are just catching up with the Bible. The bible begins with per- sonality. Some women have six or seven personalities, so have some men.” Here followed a. humorous descrip- tion of a man who was so straight in his church that he almost leaned over backwards. When he went to Paris on a visit, the bright lights got the best of him and, thinking he was away where no one who knew him would ever meet him, he began to side- step the straight and narrow path and walked out of a questionable theater just in time to meet the pas- tor of his own church on the side- walk. Began: With Lodges. it is. No man can define personality. Next to ‘Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt wae the greatest American who ever lived. He had personality. He had that magnetic something In his personality that drew men to him like a magnet draws fllaments of steel. He 'had/the real hrotherhood of man withowt sentimentality or gush.

In déscribing the growth of hiy bible class, which now numbera ap- proximately 1,650 men, Dr. Bartholow fold of how the organization was af- tected. It looks after the personal side of the men. The class ‘has ity labor hoard which looks after the men out of work; it has a small loan asso- clation : which ' loana money to men who are hard up; it has its military companies with their captains, ma- jors, lleutenant-majors, colonels and even a general. [ In Political Power. These .companies have.as one o! thelr important; duties that of keep- ing personal:track o! every man. It has’ ta political ‘union, of .which Ed- win Finke, gnow a candidate for his ninth term”as mayor of Mount Ver: non, alriost the entire board of alder- men, the corporation counsel and othier! city officlals are 1 bers. This m&flc{ union ds' 8o stre that, with auxtliary of 700 women, it repre- sents 20 per cent..of the ontire:voting power In the city. Whenever some big issue is up before the people, Dr. Bartholow is sought by politicians who want to know, “What does tho class think about 1t?" Must Have Personality. Going back for an instant to his remarks of the loan feature of the class, Dr. Bartholow sald the class has distributed thousands of ' dollars in loans and never lost a cent. In tell- ing a story of how a local character, so-called anarchist, labor agitator and general industrial disturber finally came into the class, became a captain, brought in laboring men until "His company numbered 240, for which he alone was responsible and was pro- moted to be a major, tha speaker said, “No man can be a leader unless he has some persohality.’ Soma Facta About the Class. The class has a series of lecture courses, changing the series every year. One year it had sociology, an- other year it had applied ethics, one year {t studied psychology and'now it is studying the principles of applied religion. “No man comes near the pont of death,” said the speaker, “but what there is a member of the class at hic bedside befgre even the dominee gety there.’ Al Denominations. There are 24 Roman Catholics in this class, with the full consent of the Catholic priest. There are over 400, men with known denom- ination. There are many Jews. In the class are 120 commercial trav- elers, 40 sleeping car and railroad conductors, 28 physiclans and 30 law- yers. There is a Hungarian group and an Itallan group. The admission of seven negroes sometime ago threatened a race problem and an exclusive negro group was formed. Some Bunch., At a recet banquet wehn over 1,000 of the members turned out, they marched to the state armory four abreast, making a procession a .mile long. At the armory it took 200 women to act as waitresses and cook to serve the men. p A Idve Class. ‘The class recently started a cam- paign to raise $100,000 for a new building in which to meet. Over half of this has been raised already. There is not a hall in Mount Vernon imige enough %o hold every mem- Ler. . The new hall will have bowl- ing alieys, billlard rooms, gymnas- 1wum, shower baths, reading rooms,etc. Once a month the class has a banquet and some speaker of national prom- inence is invited to speak. Some men, who work until midnight Satur- day night attend the Sunday morn- 1ug sessions regularly. Others who live at a distance, get up as early a: six o'clock Sunday morning to bve Lthere on time. ‘“‘Something besides mere man brings them together like ihis’ said the minister. “It is the cpirit of God.” Personality Needed. “What we have done in Mount Vernon you can do in New Britain. In organizing your bible class, take as your slogan, ‘Belleve in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. dave your social class aid give the men some objective and you cannot fail.
