With a tremendous demonstration
ond week of the Chapman evangelistic
campaign, closed. So. enthusiastic. has /
!! become the movement for the CONVEX
sion of souls that the Saturday rest
rule of the evangelists was broken to-
day by several meetings. With only
four days remaining of the work in
Minneapolis, every, opportunity is be-
ing used to make the most of the time.
The army of converts has been rapidly
recruited in the last six DAYS. I'm
tagging zeal is shown by all who are
doing active work in the revivals, in
GLIDING the singers, ushers and personal
workers. The raid made on the Biiou
theater at II O'Clock last night by
three times as many as could be &C
commodate is evidence of the hold the
movement has on the people, and Of the
far-reaching effect Of the great day of
prayer. -9
the forces for righteousness were active.
Beginning with the early church meet
ings and continuing thru the MONDAY
services and-the afternoon meetings, an
increase, rather than elimination, was
shown in the attendance and display
Of energy, as we'll as at the evening
district meetings, eliminating in the
massing of the forces at Plymouth
church for the start to the Bijou and
Dewey theaters. y: ~. -4

The Chapman meetings at Westmin-
ster church continue to be the focal
point in the campaign. DR.. Chapman Is

those who live downtown. The serv
ices last night were very inspiring. A
crowd was waiting, outside when the
doors 9e3s, were s opened 9p ds shortly after Z
insprng any Young peope were in ss
majority to hear the special talk for
them. "And he said tomorrow, !" was
the text. The evangelist dwelt on the
foolishness of the. people Of Minneap-
oils who are putting off the salvation
of their souls until tomorrow. He. could
business affairs and SO careful Of these
interests, should be SO careless Of the
7 welfare Of their souls. The Bible con-
tains no promises for tomorrow. -
In speaking Of the final Judgment he
said, "Your millions will count for
