MEN CROWDFRONT
INTHE AFTERNOON
DR.. Slough Depicts the Dancing of
Sampson in Humiliation and Makes
His Point So Clear That Not a
Smile Is Evoked

ri know l am talking to courageous
people, DR.. Slough told his audiences
at the tabernacle yesterday, "because
all the towards got cold feet and stayed
at home on account of the snow
Morning, afternoon and evening, thou
sands and thousands of men, women
and children went in and out of the
tabernacle. Although the crowds were
not as large as ON previous Sundays
when the weather was fair, the atten-
dance was not disappointing to members
of the Slough party. The enthusiasm
of the meetings was not below the av-
erage.
The most spectacular scene that has
yet taken place in the tabernacle, oc-
Cured at the close of the men IS after
noon meeting. Because there are no
women or children in the throng, the
revivalist can have the trail hitters at
these meetings crowd forward and
stand in disorder at the front of the
platform, packed closely together. Yes
terday when hundreds were standing
thus, he pulled to his side on the plat
form two former bartenders who had
been converted, and then called for "all
men who have been tending bar on the
other side of the COUNTER to crowd
up on the platform behind them.
At once there was a scramble for the
platform and half a hundred "booze
holsters packed the space, back to
and behind the piano and over6owing
into the press box. Prayers and sing,
ing followed.
Dancing of Sampson Depicted
DR.. Stough's S afternoon sermon, on
Claiming the Giant" had its basis
on the story of Sampson. He depicted
the former strong man working the
tread mill for his enemies, humiliateG
and despised. Then he danced, as
Sampson was forced to do, "to make
sport for his tormentors. There was
not a smile, however, as the evange-
list hoped on one foot and then the
other, for the picture of the strong
mans disgrace was too forceful to be
amusing.
DR.. Stough's Saturday night sermon
on How | May Know l Am Convert
ed'' was preached to a large audience,
despite the lure of the stores with their
attractive holiday goods. Yesterday
morning the sermon was on "Stubble
or Silver and in the evening on the
theme, 'Oan a Man Serve Christ Se-
cretly?'
Wayward Son Is Cared for
AT the evening service the trail-hit-
ters included a city policeman with his
wife, Sunday school superintendent
and the driver of a brewery wagon.
There was also young man who said
he was the son of minister, had run
away from home some time ago and
did not know where his parents might
now be. He was taken in charge by the
ministers present, who promise to find
his father and return him to his home.
At the women's meeting in the aft
ernoon at the Ridge Avenue Methodist
church, Miss Palmer preached on "The
Night Scene The music of the serv-
ice was in charge of Miss Saxman and
Mrs. d. l.. Spooner, wife of the taber-
