'tOh, Happy Day. was the rouslng
chorus with which the Chapman noon
meeting was opened at the metropolitan
theater today. Everyone knew the re,
frain. and every voice joined to swell
the song of praise.
The theater was filed. Every seat
in the main auditorium and balcony was
occupied early. Late comers were
obliged to take seats in the upper gal
lery, which they soon filed. The doors
of the theater were then closed. =

Mr.. Chapman then spoke in substance
as follows: -, ,
s.It's sad thing to be disappointed
in man. We find David writing the
{ twenty.third psalm and later blacken-
ing the pages of the old testament with
his sin. A mans sin is great IN pro-
portion to his position. God not only
looks upon your sin but on your sur;
roundings. The man who has back of
him a long generation of weakness
would not perhaps be as guilty IN a
sin as would I of a lighter offense. In
view Of this, the sin of David was an
awful one Yet when accused of his
sin by Nathan, David replied as a man
and. not tsas hypocrite, I have sinned

With growing force and increasing re~
suits the evangelistic campaign for the
rellglous awakening Of Minneapolis
continues. AS the district meetings CON
tinue night after night the audiences
are larger and the interest is more in
tense. The workers are becoming en-
thused as they realize more deeply their
personal opportunity and the responsi-
bility of neglect. z
The gradual development Of the pro
portions of the movement may be
gauged by the occasional meetings held
by one or another Of the evangelists.
Particularly noticeable is the attendance
at the Metropolitan theater daily after
luncheon meeting, as it crews day by
day and as the composition of the audi
ence changes from the church element
to the business element. Clerks crowd
in with evidence that have eaten hasty
meal to get to the theater The Asher
night meetings in saloons and amuse-
ment resorts grow, in effectiveness.

reach by these meetings. 2" First, =" says

MARS SALOON MEETING
Disturbance Created by Drunken Man

A noisy drunken man, asserting, mis-
American right to drink beer without
song accompaniment, interrupted the
Asher meeting last night at Skog y
Leet IS saloon. Neither Mrs. Asher nor
Mrs. Hoyt could quiet him.
e'You wouldn't willingly offend a

FERN happened y in and went out
taking the drunk with him. :,
This meeting was success as well
as the one at the Log Cabin saloon.
Officer FERN had to escort one or two
men out, but otherwise the attention
was respectful.
Less courtesy was shown the evangel-
lists at the meeting in the Kimball dane
ing hall at 10 O'Clock. 1t was an un-
usal audience. AS soon as Mrs. Asher
was thru singing the orchestra struck
up the dance music, which had been IN

death is merely the laying aside Of

.After death man is in a finer body,
called the astral body, which is composed
of matter so subtle and tenuous that it
cannot be seen by mortal eyes. If the
man was accustomed to anger, greed and
sensuality, his future existence will not
be a happy one, for the purpose of the
astral plane is to cleanse man. The man
who tried to live good life will have
helpful and happy existence in this first

thoughts have been removed man goes
to a higher condition that is like heaven.
