i The tabernacle was crowded to the
doors this afternoon with women
when DIR. Slough gave his address on

Thousands Crowd Into Aisles
Another remarkable demonstration
of the evangelist's power over his au-
dience was given last night, when at
his call for all the earnest Christians
who are praying for the success of
the campaign, to crowd into the aisles
and at the front of the tabernacle,
more than three thousand responded
and started wave of audible prayers
that soon got beyond his control
DR.. Slough said to the newspaper
reporters when he had stopped pray
ing himself, and the surging prayers
OF the people continued for many
minutes, Boys, you may live q good
many years and not see another occa-
sion, like this. 1t has got beyond me-"
He was preceptibly moved as the
loud praying from thousands of men
and women was mingled with the Sob
bing and wailing of those who were
starting to hit the trail from the rear
parts of the building
DIR. Slough Leads Outburst
Sorrowing mothers prayed for lost
sons and unhappy wives for their hus-
) bands. With loud and masterful sup
plication, DIR. Slough lead the out
burst. The spirit of the moment urg-
ed on to powerful speech persons who
at other times would be too timid to
: lift their voices in public utterance.
The evangelist prayed until his
strength subsided when he gave up
and called on one of the ministers to
continue his work. When this man
/, was exhausted another took up the
prayer for ten minutes
AS the wave gradually subsidized DR.
Slough called for the clearing of the
7. front seats for the accommodation OF
the converts, who totalled approx
!, mately two hundred. After these were
seated the praying Christians return
ed to their seats further back and the
personal workers continued their eff.
forts in all parts of the audience
: bringing new trail-hitters forward one
by one.
