and msnaged to ill every seat and square
inch Of standing room very comPacty'
There were probably mot less than three

two or three hundred were turned away
unable 10 even get within the doors, The
people began to arrive at the rink shortly
after o'clock in order to be able to secure
good gaats, and when tho doors were
opened the street was flled with q large
crowd waiting,
Tho vast audience was one made up Of
people Of all ages and from every walk OF
lie every ons seemed anxious 10 hear the
great evangelist for the last time. Tho
choir was larger than It has been at any
previous meeting and nearly every minis
Ter and Christian worker OF any note In
tile city, occupied seats on the platform
II was q wonderful audience to look over
It fascinated the eye aud made one marvel
thaa such an enormous assembiAge Gould
be gotten together Ia Wheeling with 50
little effort, TO hear q man expound the
Word Of God,
