Evangelist Delivers Most impressive
Sermon to One OF the Largest
Afternoon Congregations


gatioh OF the religious campaign. Rev
Mr.. Sunday yesterday. delivered an
Impressive sermon on Trouble" and
IL went to the hearts OF the ave thous-
and men and women who were pres
ent. At the conclusion OF his sermon
Mr.. Sunday asked for converts and
hit the sawdust trail" The evange-
list announced yesterday that through
out the remainder Of the campaign he
will ask for convers at the afternoon
services. This Is the first time since
he took the platform that he has done
this.
Illustrating his subject. Mr. Sunday
pictured several pathetic instances
that brought tears to the eyes OF hun
dreds. The. Lord Is the only person
that can relieve persons of their
troubles he said. Heaven Is the only
place where there is no such thing as
trouble. This word. the evangelist
said is full OF trouble, both in the pal
aces and in the novels.
Small Blaze.
Sawdust near one of the large burn
ers caught fire shortly before Mr..
Sunday arrived at the afternoon SER
vice and within short time a large
volume OF smoke clouded the taber-
nacle. This caused much excitement
among the hundreds and hundreds OF
women, but Fred Seibers. came to the
rescue with several buckets OF water
and extinguished the blaze. preventing
a possible panic. The sawdust for
several feet was smoultering fire and
IL was with much difficulty that IL was
put out
When opening his sermon yester-
day Mr.. Sunday was somewhat troub-
led with his throat. Several persons
coughed throughout the service and
he stated that II this continued he
may have to cancel his afternoon
services this week.
His trip TO Wellsburg. Monday. did
not help his throat any and his SER
mon was shorter than usual. He an
nounced that he would save his voice
for the evening services.
Services Open.
The congregation sang several
hymns after which Miss Maclaren
and Mr.. Rodeheaver, sang a solo.
Taking for his text, Psalm. 34-6
The poor man cried and the Lord
heard him and delivered him out OF
all his troubles" the evangelist said:
That text was put in the Bible" for
those that are in trouble God will
help those that are in trouble. When
Jesus. was on earth he helped all
who sought him. He never sent any
away with a sad heart
There was just one person who
went away from Jesus. with a sad
heart He was the rich young ruler
and what loss he must have suffer
ed not TO have known Jesus. Trouble
is the common lot OF us all. We are
not all wise, we are not all simple.
/ We are not all rich. we are not all
poor. But We all have trouble. II is

OF trouble. Some troubles we bring
on ourselves. other troubles are
brought on us by others.
Much OF our troubles are due to
mistakes but the greatest part OF our
trouble Is due TO sin Sin causes

up and defend the devil.
Harvest Of Sin.
Sin Is the cause OF much disease.
II Is sin OF ours or OF others. The
sins OF the fathers are TO be found in
the third and fourth generations. This
trouble Is caused by the sins OF others.
