r. p. Ryland addressed a large number
of people who quickly gathered on the
sidewalk
DIR. Ryland appealed to the crowd to
listen with kindness and respect to a
message from the teachings OF Christ
He gave the parable of the prodigal son
and spoke of the unwisdom of entire free
dom without respect to God or man.
.But this young man." said DIR. Ry-
land, was after all, wise son when
he came to himself and said, L VIII

will is accepting the right course of con-
duct. I will arise marks the man as
returning to his manhood"

turn the thoughts of his listeners to the
good father rather than the sinful son,
and likenlng him to the compassion and
tenderness Of God.
At the city hall Adjutant Gearing of
the Salvation army had charge and led
the singing. The party stood in an
automobile before a large gathering of
people. W. H. Frost was the speaker.
He said in part:

the plan of salvation, but perhaps none
of you know more than a fractional part
of the good and blessings that come

belief in the teachings OF Christ

he loves. 1t was this reason which
caused him to send his only Son that wo
might be redeemed and brought into the
kingdom. God loved us well enough TO
make this great sacrifice for us, and II
we are willing to accept ii we reap not
only eternal life but gain also inestimable
advantages in this present world. / have
