front helping to erect this structure,
It 10 right that we should have
place ON this platform and we ought
to be very generous In supporting
this work for God has great things
In store for US"
After Mr.. Davidson had sung 8. NJ.
Hadley's favorite piece Il love Him"
to the tune Of Old Black Joe, Lawyer
Evangelist Hunt spoke as follows:
The Best Ever.
"Now friends, have seen q great
many tabernacle enterprises in my
fourteen years of service In the differ
ent parts Of the country and the world
but let me say to you with great Joy
l have never seen so successful a
beginning in a tabernacle enterprise
in these fourteen years as this one
tonight. We have every reason to
thank God and to cry out Bless the
Lord, o, my soul, and all that Is
within me bless His holy name" The
Bible says a little child shall lead
them. Suffer the children to come
unto Me and forbid them not for of
such is the kingdom Of heaven" and
Except We be converted and become
as little children We cannot enter the
kingdom of God" See what God has
wrought thru, these sunbeams.
To Reform Drunkard.
Il believe thoroly in the reformation
of people. will do everything that
can to bring the drunkard, the gam
bier, the thief, the murderer, the har-
lot and the woman of society who
while she is living in pleasure is
dead while she liveth" to a knowledge
Of Christ even in late life. A great
worker in the Sunday schools has said
IF you win an adult to Christ you
have but unit but If you win a
child to Christ you have whole null
tiplication table," Let us be lead on
by faith. Let US know that Jesus
Christ has for US all the same sal
walton, the same sweet trust, the same
tender prayer and the same desire
for the study of the Bible that He
has for the child"
Mr.. Hunt then turned to the Sun
beam chorus and took 1t thru the
hand lesson already mentioned, after
which he continued:
1.-THE record goes on to say that
we cannot enter into heaven by our
good works lest any man should
boast. You cannot climb to heaven
by any work that you have done. You
must be born again. The spirit of
Christ must take possession of your
souls In an easy and natural manner.
Religious center.
Il believe that it is not only Gods
purpose to take Grand Forks to win
this wonderful commercial center,
this notable social center, this great
educational center from which radi-
ates influences which help to save
not only the far northwest but also
other states and other lands, but
thru Grand Forks He will 'kindle the
fires of spiritual fervor along these
very lines of influence until their
farthest limits are reached. He has
purposes all up and down this val
ley of the Red. He wants to bring
together people OF all nationalities in
the service of the one God and the
one Christ, baptised by the one holy
spirit. The devil gets us crosswise
and tries to set us apart but Gods
spirit will unite and bind US together
in the high and holy service of doing
His will and engaging in the business
Of the King. Get right with God.
There is no such thing as loving God
and hating your fellow men. This
is a time for coming together. We
can have great unity without uni
formity. We all have souls to be
saved. There are only two places,
two destinies for man. One is heaven
in all its beauty and glory, all its
marvellous power and holy character.
The other place is hell. "The wicked
shall be turned into hell" You may
mock at it II you will. You might
mock at the sun in its fervent shin
ing; you might say don't believe
there is sun and bury yourselves
in the bowels of the earth and die
for lack OF light and life but the old
sun would go on shining just the
same.
Work of Prayer.
"This tabernacle. is a work of
prayer. It has been built at time
when the most sanguine has said it
is impossible. Has any one frozen
to death here tonight? see three
hands up but they are the hands of
the children for we are cosy and
warm. Let us take faith tonight. Let
us take hope and let US take God at
his word. Do it now and forever"
The audience sang blessed be the
tie that binds"
Immediately after this, tho it was
not down on the program, the electric
lights went out, which left the vast
audience in total darkness. There
was a good chance here for panic.

time in a strange place, but Mr.. Da-
