audience that ever packed the MeInU-
tlst church Of this city since 1t was
built. Scores we're turned away be-
cause they could not force their way
through the crowded portals.
Second, she raised five hundred dol
lars ID few minutes for carrying on
the fight for additional prOhibltOry re.
stnctiOns in the Georgia pTOhlbltOry
law, and to fight any attempt that the
liquor interests may make to have the
present law repealed.
Third, at one OF her impassiOned at
teraDces, the great congregation forgot
1t was the holy Sabbath and burst forth
into loud applause-it just cOu dn't help
II, so thoroughly were they IN sympa-
thy with the thrilling challenge OF de.
fance to the viOlaters OF the law. II Is
not necessary to speak Of other records
this remarkable woman broke last
night, such as rapid fire, breath taking,
Marathon talking-these three are
enough TO show what manner of woman
