Sunday night.
A remarkable feature of the meet
ing last night, and of every night
for that matter, is the number oil
strong, vigorous men who make pro-
fession. DR.. Walton is an adept al
reaching men and there have beer
more men converted than women
The sermon last night was one OF
description mostly in order to get
the minds of the people to grasp in
measure the vastness of eternity
1t is a psychological fact that if a
mind can be made to think on the
extreme and vastness of space that
1t can be swung around to thinking
of time more easily. The astronomi-
cal descriptions of the sermon were
fine and served their purpose to the
fullest extent.
AT the close the preacher without
prayer or a song asked if there
was any man or woman who was
courageous enough to stand on their
feet. The word had hardly passed
the speakers lips when one of the
best known men of Waxahachie sit
ting in the rear of the church sprang
to his feet and then took his seat.
Before the evangelist could ask him
to come to the front dozen men
surrounded him each one trying to
grasp his hand and congratulate him
at the same time. Some men were
so overcome that they wept as they
stepped up and tried to tell him how
glad they were. Some of the ladies
tried to get to the man. but the
crowd of men around him was so
great that they turned away until
better opportunity offered.
While this was going on Mr.. Wal
ton was putting the invitation to any
one else who would act on it. Two
more men younger than the first
arose and made their way thru the
throng in the aisles to the front seat
where they at once received the con-
CALCULATIONS of their friends.
A member of one of the churches
united in the movement in speaking
of the movement said:
"One thing like about the meet
ing is that the workers are not
afraid to move about. In the first
part of the series there seemed to
be too much formality and the
preacher has succeeded remarkably
y
in breaking this up. Even the people
who take no active part in the meet
ings seem to be less restrained than
formally and the unconverted are
not inclined to run away as we have
seen them do"
The attendance continues to en-
large and numbers of people are
driving in from the country from
eight or ten miles away
Tomorrow is expected to be a great
day. There will be regular morning
service at II o'clock At 3 D. m.

ian church.
