LARGE MONDAY AUDIENCE
Evangelist Martin Talks of Pitching
Tents Toward Sodom.

: One of the largest Monday night
audiences was present at the revival
services at the Memorial Christian
church last evening, fully 200 being
present. Evangelist Sumner T. Martin
preached on the subject pitching Our
Tents Toward Sodom.' Mr.. Martin
said that, could We all have the spirit
of Abraham, there would never be any
! quarrels between families or between
church members. 1t always takes two
to make a quarrel, and the strong
ing up to small sins, or questionable
things, and that led us farther away
pitching our tents toward Sodom. Lot
did not intend to go into the wicked,
city, but he chose to go toward Sodom.
because of the opportunities the city
might offer for him to sell his fiocks.
and become rich. But in the end all
he had was taken from him, even to
his wife. There was left only Lot and
| two daughters, and he dwelt in cave
| in debauchery and drunkenness, max
ing very striking picture of the end
of men. who, for the sake of worldly
gain and pleasure, pitch their tents
| toward Sodom. So strong did Mr.. Mar
tin draw this picture that each one
present drew a lesson that will no
doubt be of lasting good. The orches-
tr was there in full and assisted the
large chorus in the song service. Mr.. Da-
Wis sang very tenderly where Will You
Spend, Eternity" The subject tonight
is what Must Do to Be Saved?" Al
| the opening Mr.. Martin will give his
reasons why he is not a Campbellite
Mr.. Davis will sing Face to Face"

magic contriyance by which messenger
boys were made to move with break
neck speed, BARRIERS to shave their GUS

policemen to dash along the street at
a rate never attained by living speci-
men, either on or off duty. 1t was
all real to her She could not doubt
the evidence of her senses. All those
things were taking place exactly as
depicted.
Presently an automobile came In
sight in the far background, moving
directly toward the audience at the
rate of at least a mile a minute. Just
as a catastrophe seemed inevitable 1t
swerved aside, passed on and disap.
peared.
