REVIVAL AT TABERNACLE.
Much Interest and g. Great Crowd in Atten
dauce.

The crowds that have been kept back
on account of the excessive rains came
out last night until the great auditorium
Of the Tabernacle Baptist church was
packed, DR.. Vines preached a great SER
mon and held the attention of the con-
gregation from the beginning.
DR.. Vines subject was Drifting" and
his text was from Hebrew 2:1, There
fore we ought to give the more earnest
heed to the things we have heard, lest
at any time we should let them Slip
drift. In his sermon he used the fol-
lowing:
The key to the epistle to Hebrew is
Better Salvation" The religion of Jesus
Christ is superior to other religions Few
people deliberately turn away and set
their faces against the Saviour, but they
gradually drift away, it is so easy to
drift. 1t is the drift OF human life that
ruin men.
First, there is the intellectual drifting.
We drift away from God and forget that
we are human with a soul to save, and,
second, there is the Ecclesiastical cur
rent. We drift away from the church,
the Sunday School, the prayer meet
ing, neglecting to read the Bible, neglect
ing to pray, and we begin to doubt wheth-
er we are Christians, and the third is the
material current. The whole ambition
of some is to make money They eat
money, they live on money, money fills
the life-their sole aim.
We should let it be known in every
line that We are Christians. We do not
hesitate to let the world know that we
are an Odd Fellow or Mason, that is all
right, but it's far greater honor to be
Christian. Let the world know it,
wherever you are. Fourth, there is the
moral current. We drift along with bad
associates, into the saloon, and amid the
other vices around us. This drifting will
ruin our life, and fifth is the spiritual
current. Men drift away from this cur
rent and from Christ. and where are they
now. There are enough people in this
church to shake this whole city and
move 1t up towards heaven if we would all
rally to it.
Upon invitation many came forward for
prayer, and the scene was an impressive
one.
This is a rare opportunity to hear the
gospel told by a man who is telling the
truths of the Bible. The meeting Will
continue throughout the week-from 10
to II o'clock each morning and at 1880 in
the evening.
Today Dr. Vines subject for the morn
ing discourse will be 1.-The Mission of
the Church."
