RAISED SOME CASH
At WEDNESDAY
MEETING
Good Attendance at Tabernacle
Last Evening-Rev. Hunt
the Speaker.
(By the Committee.

The tabernacle had a full house last
evening and there were several parts
to the program which were not ex-
pected by the regular attendants.
During the day the business commit
tee had requested Mr. Hunt to assist
in the clearing up all liabilities to next
Sunday night, when it's responsible
ties to the movement cease. The
fiancial burden has been a heavy one
and the committee has found it diff
ficult to secure enough money in the
offerings of the people from night to
night to pay the running expenses. In
fact it faced a deficit of $500 up to and
including Sunday. Mr.. Hunt agreed
to present the matter and did so. The
report upon the Offering taken had
not been received at the close of the
meeting last evening, but one of the
committee men stated that not
more than $500 had been received, the
rest will have to be raised on the out
side. The business committee does not
wish the revival to cease. On the con-
trary it is anxious that great soul
winning movement such as this may
be continued until many thousands
have found Christ, but it does not feel
that it can 60 on mourning and in
dorsing large expenses without the
support Of the people who nightly at
tend the services. The evangelists
have yet to be paid, the arrangement
being that they shall receive the free
will offerings Of the people-the busi-
ness committee to get the pledges
therefore the last three days of the
meetings. Mr.. Hunt is confident that
the whole matter will be cared for
easily and his experience may justify
that belief but it is now up to the peo-
pie to say what shall be done.
After the money-raising episode had
been disposed Of, Mr. Hunt turned to
Deut. 1854 for his text. Chou shalt
not muzzle the OK when he treadeth
out the corn" and spoke for about
thirty minutes after which as the
hour was late the congregation was
dismissed with the benediction.
He said in part: When the OK is
treading out the corn, suppose he is
not to be blamed If occasionally he
brushes kernel or bruises grain of
wheat. He is simply about his duty.
He is an instrument made for GER
tain purpose. God made him and set
his task. He would rather preach the
gospel of, love but the gospel of Law
comes first. No parent likes to pun
ish his child, and yet he knows if he
spares the rod he must spoil the child,
and SO he often says to the son or
daughter to whom he must punish.
II would rather take licking than
give you one" And yet a sense of
duty and necessity demands that he
should let punishment fall where it
is deserved. The Lord chasteneth
whom he loveth and scourgeth every
son whom he reveiveth." This aspect
Of truth the bringing forth of sin to
light is not plea sent to the evangelist,
nor to pastors nor to the committee of
fifty nor to the people, but it is whole
some and must be DONE The gold
must be purged of its dross in the
refiner's fire. Then it will come forth
and be made into a crown fit for the
king to wear. Some people think that
we are engaged in spelling the church,
but tell you the church will be
stronger because Of its publication.
We shall have mighty army going
forth to overthrow and beat back the
forces of sin and hell. We shall
crown Jesus Christ victor. King of
Kings and Lord of Lords.
In response to his invitation ask
ing how many people agreed to him as
10 the final victory, almost all of the
audience arose.
Here is stereotyped remark you
