people We're standing in the rear of
the building, including at least fifty
ladies. 1t is estimated that not less
than 500 people failed to gain od-
mission. The number of people in
the building during the service is
estimated from 1000 to 1900.
Following a most delightful song
service Rev. d. Luther Edwards of
the Presbyterian church and presi-
dent of the Ministerial Alliance, an
nounced that of the $S75 needed to
take care of all the incidental ex-
penses, such as S425 rental for the
Auditorium, advertising. printing,
janitCr, transportation, board for the
evangelist and other similar expenses,
only about $40 had been contri-
buted although the contract with the
evangelist provided that every cent
of the incidental expenses should be
provided for before the meeting
opened. The evangelists are to re-
ceiye their pay from free will offer
ings and not from the sum raised for
incidental expenses. Rev. Edwards
announced that they wanted to take
care of the deficit at once. He then
called upon Rev. Forsyth. of the
Methodist church. to take charge,
knowing DR.. Forsyth's well known
ability to raise money. Within a
very few minutes DR.. Forsyth had
raised about $3.50 in S1.OO contribu-
tiOns and some S35 in $500 subscrip-
tions. 1t had been hoped to raise
every cent of the 1915 for the Incl
dental expenses of the meeting in 81
contributions.
DR.. Hamilton then announced that
tonight ,he will take for his theme,
Does 1t Pay to be Christian" He
announced that next Sunday will be
MANS Day" In the afternoon there
will be great mass meeting for men
only and at that time DR.. Hamilton
viii take for his subject. Some
Things Men Ought to Know"
All this week services will be held
each afternoon and evening. Cottage
prayer meetings will be held on sew
eral mornings.
Before opening his sermon DR..
Hamilton made some local references.
He stated that he was pleased with
Grand Junction, he liked her people
and he was pleased with the results
being obtained at the meetings. He
said. Il am told some people in the
city don't like me, | expected that.
But listen, have | uttered one thing
nun NLllS ludl mas Hol Dttll
the truth?" DR.. Hamilton then paid
his respects to one McFadden who,
through the medium of the morning
sheet, attacked him, as detailed else
where in this issue.
Dr. Hamilton's text for the evening
was And in Hell He Lifted Up lis
Eyes Being in Torment" His sub
ject was Six Facts About He'll"
In in r,tr
Orous sermon declared that many
people hated to talk about hell or to
hear it talked about but he declared
that such had to be done. Hell is
just as real as heaven. Jesus often
preached on hell and he was the tend
crest and gentlest creature that ever
walked the earth" declared DR.. HAM
ilton
parts each one devoted to a discussion
of one fact about hell. These six
facts were as follows:
There is a He'll
Hell is Separate from Heaven"
Hell is Filled with Wicked In
habitants.''
Hell is a Place of Torment.
Hell is Forever"
"All those who have not accepted
Jesus Christ are on their way to hell.
No attempt will be made to give an
extensive review of the discourse. 1t
lasted about fifty minutes. 1t was as
impressive as it was powerful. 1t
was as logcal as is was eloquent. E.v-
cry statement made was bulwarked
with truths from the bible. 1t was
sermon certain to make men and
women think. II was sermon that
left to the thoughtful men and wo-
men no room to doubt the existence
of q place of eternal torment
Among the declarations of Dr.
Hamilton last night were these:
IF there is no hell, then there is
no heaven"
There is no room for theory
about a hell. Truth, not theory. as
expounded in the bible says there is
hell, a place of eternal punish
ment
ASK some OF these twentieth CEN
tury free thinkers and smart men
who declare there is no hell, who de-
stroyed hell and when?"
Il had rather stand on this plat
form, the bible, and say thus sayeth
the Lord, than TO stand on man
