neS. Mr.. Mhhs sunday Talk to q Vast
Audience Mt Tent WashingtOn.
The attendance at the evangelistic meet
ing at Tent Washington yesterday after
noon was something tremendous. and prob
ably greater than at any of the other serv-
Ices Of the convention. The tent was well
filled at the Baptist missionary meeting and
when that ended very few left to make room
for the thousands of newcomers. There
was not vacant seat anywhere and there
was dense fringe Of people standing
around the outer edge of the throng.
The meeting was in charge Of Rev B. Fay
Mills of Fort Edward, N. Y, and the musi-
cal exercises. always an important feature
OF Endeavor gatherings. were conducted by
Mr.. E. o. Excel of Chicago After some
choral hymns Mr.. Excel sang with splen-
did effect Let Little Sunshine in" the
immense concourse singing the chorus. Then
there was prayer by Rev. DR.. Wallace Rad
byterfan Church.
Mr.. Mills took for the text Of his discourse
Revelations. VIC, and began with brief
reference to the circumstances under which
that part OF the Scriptures was written.

we need the sacrificfat conception OF life
IN All our daily living. A man ought to be
as as glad TO pay his taxes as he is to give a
Hnris1nas present to his bwn son. We could
put away all wars and rumors Of war If we
could all put believe in the slain lamb in the
MIDST OF the throneS Such belief would
solve all the vexing problems Of our social
system. There WOULD be no drunkenness
then. and vice would not Haunt itself in the
streets or our great cities. Oh, why may
not love and life be one.s
Inc call for You and me is to live sacri-
lcial hves. To think Of the Church of God
IN this world for 1900 years and more, and
sun the world unsaved: II would not lessen
the force or the call.to come to Jesus. but
the message l would bring to you today is.
Come with Jesus.'"t ; o. ~
