was put into handkerchief and tied
up, after which Mr.. Baker sang again.
DR.. Chapman made a statement con-
cerning the manner in which the free
will offerings which have been taken
up since Wednesday will be used. He
said: when / went into evangelistic
work L did 1t because L felt that God
called me to it. 1 gave up one of the
best churches In New York, and in
order that should not have any more
of the money that came to me through
this work than l needed to live on
had an understanding with a commit
tee of eminent business men of that
city that all the money received should
be sent to them, and they decide what
I needed for support and the rest be
applied to the different branches of
the work.
DR.. Chapman also expressed his
this city had been managed by the
committee of twenty-five, and thanked
especially the chairman, Rev. William
Horace Day. He commended the work
of the personal workers and the mem
bers of the chorus. saying that In no
other city in which he had worked had
the organization been so good and the
workers so faithful as here.
DR.. Day extended the heartiest words
of thanks on behalf of the people of
the central district to DR.. CHAPMAN;
the soloist, Fred Butler; the chorus
leader, Charles Allen; Rev. and Mrs.
Thompson, who assisted with the per-
sonal workers and music, and DR..

"DON'T EXPECT TO GET
ALONG WITHOUT CHRIST"
Preacher Urges Hearers to Adopt the
Religion in Which He Believes
There Is Salvation

Perhaps there has been no district in
which the feeling of satisfaction has
existed more than in the second dis
charge. The farewell meeting last night
was one of the most enjoyable in the
city in spite of the fact that the people
of that section regret the loss of the
evangelist who has meant so much to
them.
Dr. Ostrum preached from Matt.
1927. "Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how
oft would have gathered thy children
even as a hen gathereth her brood
under her wing. and yet would not.
Courage is not everything. It's
wiser to come down the elevator from
six-story building than to jump down
the shaft.
my friends, | have known that it is
a possible thing for a man to cross
the gang plank and get on board an
ocean steamer, but if that man went
two thousand miles from shore gets out
where the water is three miles deep and
tries to leave the ship it is a mistake.
Perhaps he can swim but the route is
long and he had better take the ship,
but when some man tells me that he
can get along without Christ l say.
friend you had better take the ship and
accept the shelter of Jesus.
1T is a foolish thing for man to
try to blot out the sun in heaven. 1t
is a foolish thing for man to live in
this part of Los Angeles during the
past three weeks with nothing but
straw roof over his head. He would
get pretty wet. Don't you undertake
to stretch your fingers out to stop the
drive wheel of a modern locomotive. It
will be hard on the fingers. Don't
expect even though you are a modern
man TO get along without the shelter
of Jesus. 1t will be hard on the soul"
Dr. Ostrom prefaced his remarks by

FAREWELL MEETING OF
EVANGELIST CHAPMAN
Noted Speaker Addresses Last Even-
ngs Audience on Subject of
almost Persuaded"

almost Persuaded was the title of
the message given by DR.. Chapman at
his farewell meeting in Temple audi
torium.
The sermon was an appeal from be-
ginning to end and. there was a note
of sadness running through the dis
course, which was expressed by Mr.
Butler in his refrain of the hymn "Al-
most Persuaded"
The text was taken from Acts 26:2S:
Almost thou persuadest me to be n
Christian" "If / were you and had
made up my mind not to be Christian
/ would leave this building this min
ute. / would never go inside church
again. for | believe that there can
never be any feeling which is more
pitiful than the one that you were al
most persuaded and still did not cross
the line. If you have been almost per-
suaded don't go back. Get into the
kingdom at any cost. 1t is better to be
manned and halt and blind than to be
possessed of every power of brain and
body and be without Christ.
Another word Of advice to you who
have become Christians is to get into
the church, and by this | mean an
evangelical church. If any of you al
low yourselves to be deceived into be-
lieying you can get along without a
savior you are going to be much mis-
taken"
Mr.. and Mrs. William Baker, the
blind singers, sang and a special col
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-20

When the last note of the singer died
away DR.. Chapman said:
You men are close to me here and
1 want to make an appeal that l hope
will strike deep / want to make an
appeal for better life in your homes,
for more love and purer thoughts in
your heart and then for betterment of
on your citys name. Ascot park is
the first and the saloon is the second.
They ought to be out and they can
be. know your laws and l know
what you can do. 1t will take work
and you will each Of you have to give
duct campaign Immediately following
the revival. There will be an attempt
to close up the saloons and If this is
done the foulest blot on your citys
name will be done away with.
II want every man who will say
in these next few days to drive out
the saloons and Ascot park" to be on
his feet in a minute" The men stood
and closed with the singing of Amer
lea. At the last verse handkerchiefs
were pulled out of pockets and waved
overhead.
Dr. Chapman took as his text Job
1918. He shall be driven from light
into the darkness and chased out of
the world" He gave a graphic de-
scription of the death of a man who is
Christian and in opposition to 1t the
death of the man who has denied
Christ, saying that one has everything
to look forward to in death while the
other has only darkness and despair.

coming days in the campaign against

The auditorium was crowded and the
answer was almost unanimous.
DIR. Chapman had finished delivering
a sermon which seemed to strike deep
into the hearts of the men before him.
During the whole discourse there was
not a sound in the room other than
his voice and at the close of 1t he
walked down the aisle that he might
be nearer to the men he was trying to
impress.
I'VE are here for the last time to-
gether," he said "and 1 want to make
last plea to you"
He requested all those who wanted to
take a stand for Christ to walk to the
front and gather around him as he
stood in the aisle.
Men came from all parts of the build
ing and stood at the front while the
blind singer, Mr.. Baker. with arms
outstretched over the heads of the
people, sang words which brought tears
TO the eyes of those who heard.

General Satisfaction Is Expressed by
the Evangelists Over the Work
Accomplished While
in Clty
in City

Yesterday witnessed the close of the
great revival. For more than three
weeks the band of evangelists have
been at work in Los Angeles and the
religious world has been stirred as il
has seldom been before. AS vet it is
impossible to estimate the amount of
good that has been done, but the minis
ters of the city feel that the successes
have been even greater than was an
ticipated.
The church services all over the city
in the morning were we'll attended.
The two mems mass meetings were
limited in size of audience only by the
capacity of the buildings in which they
were held and at the woman's meeting
there was an equally large attendance.
In the evening the farewell meetings
were held and crowds again thronged
the meeting places.
Today there will be a good cheer
meeting and final farewell to the evan
gelists after which the party will sepa-
rate, not to come together again until
March 22, when they will meet in Port
land, Ore.
In the meantime the individual mem
bers will be engaged in the same line
OF work in different parts of the state.
DR.. Chapman will go to Redlands,
from there to Oakland and later to
Portland. DR.. Ostrom will visit Ala
media and DR.. Biederwolf will go south
to San Diego DR.. Elliot will go to
San Luis Obispo, DIR. Walton will go
to Oakland and DR.. Slough to Holly

An enthusiastic congregation greeted
Evangelist Biederwolf yesterday after

Gods Gentlemen" The evangelist
said in part:
Its great thing to be a man, for
man is the best that God can do.
Portia said about French lord, God
made him, therefore let him pass for a
man., and some of us fellows have
been passing for men, and we haven t
been men at all.
"One man boasts about his muscle.
But if that is all you have to glory
about, you are not the real man.
You may be the missing link, but
you are not quite the man yet.
Another individual glories in his
mind, and so on, but the real man
