DR.. Wilson In Evening.
In the evening, DR.. Wilson, an in
structor in the Theological Seminary

gre CATION. There will also be special

Owing to the fact that the seating
capacity of the church is limited tick
cts good for members of the church
and their immediate families have
been issued. The few hundred tick
cts that remain are being distributed
to the best advantage, some of them
being sent to the different churches
over the city, and others are being
sent direct to the persons who have
asked for them. Seven hundred per-
sons have applied for tickets for the
opening day and the supply on hand
has run very short. Without the
tickets, admission will be impossible
tomorrow, as there are just as many
tickets issued as there are seats and
II more persons are admitted the au-
ditorium will be crowded.

Last evening the specially selected
choir met and again rehearsed the
music. Tonight there will be anoth-
