The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1909-05-13

scene as protrayed IN the Bible, where
Eve handed Adam the apple (now ex.
pressed as "lemon") and when the
Lord called to Adam, he was ashamed
to come forth and tried to hide be-
hind some hg leaves. Shannon said
that a whole lot Of people tried to
hide behind smaller things than
that, but at the last day, when the
"sheep and goats" where gathered
together, there would be more goats
lined up from Hood River than
"sheep", and this is supposed to to
the "GardenbSpot of the World" too.
There are too many hypoorites Ia
the world, not only in the church, but
In all classes of society, Shannon says,
who are afraid to make "stand"
lie says that they ought to feel like
he does, about being saved. Since
experiencing religion 1t makes him
feel as happy as "a fox In hen
roost. In speaking OF the mighty
works ut God in making the earth be
said: "God made the earth, and rest
ed God made man, and rested; God
made woman, and since that time,

Ehis seem to please the male part OF
the congregation, judging from the
applause coming from that part of the
audience All through his ADDRESSES
the stories be tells illustrates his
points and keeps the audience inter
ested and always expectant.
AS to the results OF these meetings,
we are unable to tell, except that they
ought to be for the good OF bis hear
Crs to accept the religion he offers.
The choir, conducted by larry M.
Ross, Is one of the interesting feat
ures, as we'll as Mr.. Ross solos
There are over hundred voices In
The choir and they are the best Hood
River can produce, which every one
knows is good. The solo given by Mr..
Ross Saturday evening was enjoyed
by all. The air used was that old
Scottish one, "When Comm Through
the Rye"
Quite chorus of children voices
have been trained for work In the re.
wal services aud they do their part
with credit In fact, the children are
maniesting deep interest 10 the
work all along the line, not only In
taking part in the meeting, but In
advertising the meetings throughout
the city.
The Tabernacle IL nicely lighted by
a score or more Of electric lights al
well as three arc lights, and the ven.
tilation is perfect. The building viii
hold about two thousand people. Ih'
seats are very comfortable consider
ing that they are made of plair
blanks. They have very comfortable
back. The ground is thickly covered
with shavings so that the feot of th,
congregation are kept clean and warm
Mr.. Shannon does not believe In Civ
ing his audience a chance to "Re
cold feet" and has therefore had {
liberal supply OF shavings spread OF
the ground.
Ths Tabernacle is located at th'
head OF Eugene street on 18th street
and the building Is substantial ant
Ia being filled nightly by interested
aud fences All churches psrticipat
ing In the revivals have closed tbei
churches for the time being aud arr
attending these meetings.
Mr.. Shannon made q special effor
to raise one hundred dollars Sunda.
and was successful. Up to the pre-
sent time the fnsnoial aid from tn
congregation collected at the tree viii
offerings have not been enough to pa.
the expenses OF the light and actua
expenses of the meeting. but tn
prospects are brighter for the future
