u
At last nights service the coIlec-
tion by subscription was continued
and $1,000 was pledged in addition
to about $3.50 pan" collection. The
money came in amounts from 500
down to one dollar bills from indi-
viduals, Sunday School classes, Bible
classes and various friends of the
campaign. A policeman in the rear
sent up five dollars for which he got
about sixty seconds applause. The
ushers sent up flour sack with $156;
| then the choir gave S160; then the
ushers raised theirs by five dollars.
| The choir rose to 5000 by pledge but
actually raised $23S before the close
of the meeting.
Slough preached from what he
called the sweetest verse in the Bible,
For God so loved the world" He
described God as being not a severe,
wrathful being, but as the great and
kind father who believes in his chill
dren in spite of their defects, and
loves them for what they might be
under the surface of the defiled life
of the human race.
The World God Loved
Slough described in a mastery way
some of his travels in western noun
tains and valleys and some of the
glorious sights in the clear air of
the Rockies and the Pacific Slope, but
! he said all this Is not at all to COM
pare with the wonderful vision of
man made in the image of God.
THE mind of man made with the
power to understand the wonders of
Gods making is far more wonder
full thing than the mountains, the
oceans, the beauties of earth and the
stars above. This sight of you men
and women filling this tabernacle with
one impulse for human betterment is
a sight that far transcends the won
/ ders of nature"
He described home life and the love
of a father for his children as being
but slender illustration of Gods
! love for man. He defined the Christ
as the heart of God, which mankind
can scarcely understand because it
is impossible for flniteness to COM
prehend infinity. He spoke of the rays
of Gods might passing through the
medium of man and becoming in
carnate in Jesus the Goldman and
man-God who interpreted God to
mankind.
The Sacrifice of Calvary
| He explained the need of Christ as
a mediator between God and man by
saying there is no real love that does
not include self-sacrifice and suffer-
ing, and that there must be a Christ
and the tragedy of Calvary If there
is a God of love. "As long as there
is Cross" he said "I'll never despair
| of a sinner in this city,"
The trailhitters numbered exactly
urday night. There were twelve fam
lily groups, among them a father,
mother, son and his wife; parents and
| four children; man and wife and two
children; six neighbors in a bunch.
One man had started home from the
meeting but returned and hit the
TRAIL a woman who had been hesitat-
iFar fAV. serl,f I,
had been first urged to hit the trail
on the special railroad night several
weeks ago.
The WEAKNESS of the FeIsh
| The individual experiences were too
numerous to be related and Slough
himself said he was ready to fall over
with WEAKNESS after his strenuous
day.
An informal prayer meeting will be
held at the tabernacle tonight, al
though it is supposed to be rest day
for the party. DR.. Slough is getting
so enthusiastic that he is willing to
sacrifice his own guaranteed day off.
