TERDAY A GREAT DAY.
With beautiful weather - an add.

tabernacle Sunday were all tina,
could be asked for in every respect
The Sunday schools Of the Metho
dist. Baptist and Presbyterian church
es met in union session at $3.50 and
while the attendance was somewha,
smaller for each than it would have
been at the churches, in spite Of The
unusual conditions the plans WORKED
out very nicely and q good spirit pre-,
vailed. Things will be lined up bet.
ter next Sunday.
At 1880 the morning service open,
ed with the usual song service, led b,
the chorus of 200 voices under the di.
' rection of Prof. Myers. A splendid
congregation of 1900. people were
gathered and listened attentively t.
the earnest appeal of Evangelist
Bromley, who preached from Matt
1898.
1t was an appeal to the sinner, a
call to the Christian and q comma:
to the church. Conversion is but the
beginning of life. The supreme bust
ness of the Christian is service. We
have the talent, ability, the forces and
the money, the need is the willing
ness to do.
Afternoon Meeting.
At $3.50 o'clock another large
gathering assembled and enjoyed a
full program of song and sermon. A
feature of the afternoon program was
the song by the Tabernacle male cho-
rus. The effectiveness of Prof. Ny
ers' work was shown in the quality
of the music rendered with SO little
time for drill.
DR.. Bromley chose for his text
Eph. 5. IA: Awake thou that Sleep
est, and arise from the dead, and
Christ shall give thee light" 1t was
an earnest and forceful- appeal to
Christians who were nominal in their
service to respond to the call of the
Master for laborers in the already
white harvest fields.
At 6:30 a large number of young
gathered in the Inquiry Room
and were led by Prof. Myers in a
young peoples devotional meeting.
Evening Service.
The great meeting of the day be-
gan promptly at 7:45 with an i'm
mense congregation that fairly filled
the big auditorium, and was various
ly estimated at from $500 to 2,SOv
in numbers. The features of the
opening song service at this time
were the selections by the male cho-
rus and a solo beautifully rendered
by Miss Hager. Prof. Myers also
rendered a solo.
The evening message by DIR. Brom-
was from Matt. 6:33: but seek
We first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness and all these things
shall be added unto you"

duty of mar is his obligation to God.
