STUART TPREICHES
TO GREAT CROWD.
DESPITE COUNTER ATTRACTIONS,
THE BIG TENT WAS FILLED
LAST NIGHT.
Interest IS INCREASING
Again the Evangelist Took "Oppor-
tunity" as His Subject and Preach
cd Strong sermon.

IT was great gathering which con-
gregated in the big revival tent last
night to hear Evangelist George r.
Stuart In another of his characteris-
tic sermons Owing TO the fact that
the fire fighting display was held at
s O'Clock last night, at Sixth and Main,
and In the immediate vicinity of the
tent, services did not begin until $40
O'Clock, at which time the attractions
near by were about over.
Every seat in the tent was filled by
the time Rev. Stuart began preaching.
and the same splendid attention which
has been given every night was In EVIL
dence. There was not one sound from
the great throng beneath the rounding
canopy throughout the entire sermon.
and the interest manifested Is growing
daily. 1t is expected tnat the crowds
will keep getting larger until prob
ably overflow meetings will have to
be held at some other place.
This morning at 10 O'Clock Rev.
Stuart will preach for one hour at the
Boston avenue M. f. church. This
afternoon. Rev. Sucker will preach in
the big tent from o'clock until AIS,
and again tonight Rev. Stuart will
preach in the big tent at 1880 o'clock.
Rev. Stuart said:
Il am going to take the same text
tonight that l had last night: AS we
have, therefore, opportunity, let us
do good unto all men You can never
tell by text what am going to say.
The first opportunity God gives us Is
to be somebody, and the next is to do
something-say kind words, do kind
deeds. The best place to start religion
is in the home, right among your own
family.
'All things work together for good
for them that love God. l used to
think there was something wrong with
that. When I'd see a sick person who
had been good all their lives lying on
bed Of suffering and affliction; when
I'd see a good mans house and barn
burn down; when I'd see real good
man who had the unhappy fa0Ilty Of
making folks mad at him every time
he tried 10 do something real nice to
them, used to think there was some
thing wrong with God's word. But |
want to tell you that whenever you
find a passage OF Gods word that
won't work, YOU are not looking at II
right. All Of Gods promises always
work. But they don't work together
for nur hea It,l and all oS tbasa n fflic
tons come to us to burn out the dmss,
and when you get TO heaven you'll
thank God for your every suffering.
When my daughter was studying mu-
sic at home, and | wouldn't let her
go to a picnic that the other young
folks were going to attend, but mado
her stay at home and practice, and
she didn't like it. l told her that
girls who left their work for play
were no good. And after that she had
come back from the 'disturbatory' pf
music, asked her what she'd take for
her life. l asked her If she remem-

thing. And just that sure when we
get to heaven. well thank God for all 1
Of this toll and affliction and priva-
tons. No, sir. God never said all .
things work together for our health.
Nor do all things work together

happiness comes with riches. The most
