Among the 176 men, women and
children who went to the front in the
tabernacle meeting last night was the
eN-mayor of Richmond, DR.. w. w.
Zimmerman. AS he stepped to the
aisle and started toward the front,
his wife screamed aloud with joy. The
great crowd which packed the taber-
nacl5 to the doors thundered ap-
piause. The Rev. Mr. Honeywell's s
sermon brought the largest number
to the front of all his meetings. The
converts filled the first nine bench
es in the center section.
The entire collection yesterday will
be turned over to the evangelist to
remunerate him for his five weeks
of preaching. OF this amount mem
bers of the Committee of One Hun
dred said today between $400 and $500
would go to members of the Honey

list pays half the salaries of certain
members of his party, the committee
paying the other half.

Ministers of the city are unanimous
In saying a new spirit has been in
jected into the church and social life
of Richmond by the work of the
evangelist. The Personal Workers
League has announced program of
continued activity as the result of the
campaign.
II want to express my appreciation
for all offerings given me this day.
My only anxiety has been, and in
Gods presence | say it, that perhaps
some of you have been led to give
more than yor could afford. If to-
morrow or next week any of you find
that this is true. you will confer on
me a favor by paying only a part of
your subscription. ! am confident that
YOU have been generous in the ex-
treme and given me more than | have
earned.
Leaves For Chicago.
In some towns necessarily the Of
fering is exceedingly small and I re-
ceive barely enough to pay expenses :;
it is necessary therefore that other
towns which can better afford it
the expenses were met / had only $25
week for my labor. On the whole
] earn every dollar | get.
You will help the committee much
if you pay your subscription at the
close of the service or at the Dickin
son Trust company tomorrow. Mrs
Honeywell and myself leave for Chi
cago late Monday night
Il want to say word to you ush
ers. You have been on the job as
steadily as any l have ever had to
deal with in any town. You've learn
ed a lot about human nature and your
neighbors.
Il speak seriously for myself and
party when | say. that you have as
