City's Business Men in .
All Day Meetings
INTEREST CONTINUES HIGH
Many Stirring Addresses Made by
Evangelist at Tabernacle
During Past Week

Ministers from many of the sur
rounding towns of the county, together
with prominent speakers of Seattle and
Tacoma and large attendance of To-
cal business and professional men,
made the all-day meetings at the tab
current weeks services and sustained
the enthusiasm which Is heightening
as the months revivals draw to a
close.
The inclement weather Of the week
upset the ministers plans to devote
this weeks services to meetings de-
signed especially for the farmers of
the nearby districts, for the men and
women of the county found it impossi-
BILE to attend. While the plans mis-
carried to this extent, that fact did not
dampen the ardor of the services and
more converts were added to the rolls
at each meeting.
Rev. Murdock Mcleod of Tacoma
and Mayor George F. COtterill of Sc
attic, the latter candidate for the
Democratic nomination for UNITED
States senator, gave two stirring talks
at the morning services at the taber-
nacle and in the afternoon and evening
Evangelist c. r. Haudenschield ad-
dressed two good-sized audiences in
his characteristically fervid manner.
Rev. Mr.. McLeod's address was on the
subject of Personal Responsibility,
during which he pointed out that men
with a definite, purpose in life accom-
plish far more than those who have no
definite object, and declared the most
effective way to win men to religion '!s
for each individual to find another in
dividual and bring him to Christian
ity"
Civic Righteousness" was the theme
discussed by Mayor Cotterill, in which
after recounting the vices Of the cities
he expressed the opinion that cond.
tions were greatly improved, citing Sc
attic as an example of city in which
vice had been greatly reduced in re
cent years. He dwelt at length on the
liquor question and the statewide pro
hiDition initiative measure, styled the
prohibition movement an American
movement and predicted that Seattle
alone would furnish $4,000 names nee
essary on the petition and that II
would have 100000 signers in the state
at large.
"The Deity of Christ" was Evange
list Haudenschield's theme Wednesday
evening, during which he declared tha
every noted atheist the world ha:
known has been compelled at last tt
acknowledge that Jesus was the Christ
adding that no one today could deny
that Christ is the Son of God.
The ten conlmandments--"Th Law
of God"-formed the evangelist
theme Sunday evening, after an unus
uany successful meeting Of the Sunda!
schools had been held in the afternoon
largest of the series, attended by more
than 1000 people. The speaker tool
up each commandment In its order
dwelling upon the results that may t'
expected of its violation and declaring
"All the thou shalt nots' are Gods art
each has it's penalty and whoever i
guilty of one is guilty of all. A break
ing away from God in any instance !!
sin and sin means hell"
Love of gain, fear of man, an ur
forgiving spirit and procrastination
particularly the latter, are the prime
pal reasons why men refuse to accep
Christ, according to the address DEW
cred by Evangelist Haudenschield a
the tabernacle to comparatlvci
small audience Monday evening. Il
any one goes out of this tabernacle tt
night unsaved, it will be because h
refused to come to Jesus, for no ma
needs to be lost" he declared. IN
one Is lost because he Is too low 10
Jesus to save him, and no man is SAY
ed because he deserves to be saved.
is not desert but Gods love that make
salvation possible to men,"
Carrying this idea still further. tn
evangelist in his Tuesday evening
sermon declared that what men an
women today need more than any otht
