LARGE CROWDS
ARE ATTENDING
The Meetings at The Tabernacle
Where Rev. Newlin Delivers
The Gospel Message Twice
Daily

The tabernacle meetings are now
in progress and the sermons deliver
ed by the evangelist, Rev o. A. New
lin are being received with great en-
thusiasm. Mr.. Epson, the choir
leader, comes in for full share of
praise for the manner in which he Is
conducting the service of song
The large building was dedicated
at special service held on Friday
night at which time Mayor Mantz,
j. A. Graham and r. C. Spencer Of
fered words of encouragement and
greetings to the party on behalf of
Audubon citizens.
The heavy rains of Saturday night
made the tabernacle unpleasant for
the Sunday services, but regardless
of the inclemency of the weather, a
good sized audience greeted Rev.
Newlin at 10:45 when he preached a
forceful sermon. He had for his
subject. Lost Opportunities" Again
at $3.50 he lectured to an enthusiastic
audience on THE Best Citizen in
Audubon" In the evening his sub
jeet was "Steadfast or Stuckfast. :"
The sermons have awakened the peo-
pie tot the realization that the speaker
has a message for everyone. He
speaks in unmistakable terms of the
lost condition of the world and I'M
less people forsake their sinful ways,
they are eternally lost. He believes
in heaven and hell and has abund-
ant proof for every assertion he
makes.
The speakers subject Monday eve
ming was "All Aboard" How to Be-
GIN was his subject for Tuesday
night and at both these services he
had an attentive audience.
Last night the tabernacle was well
filled, in fact 1t was the largest crowd
thus far during the meetings. He
preached a forceful sermon entitled,
Goods Standard of Christian,
which we print in full today.
Tuesday afternoon Rev. l.. G.
Smith had a large number of the
school children at the tabernacle
when he talked to them on Railroad
Signals" In the evening the child
rem were present in full force to give
some OF the signals and created con-
I siderable interest. Rev. Smith knows
I how to handle the little folks. Mrs.
Smith talked to the High School girls
vat the school house the same after
noon and most of them were present
ht the evening service.
Cottage prayer meetings were be-
gun at the various homes yesterday
morning and these were largely at
tended. This morning at 1893 short
services were held AT the jewelry
store of w. ii. Cowles. and il is the
intention of the party TO hold similar
services in the places OF business each
morning.
Banquet Last Night
The ladies aid societies of the var
fpus churches gave banquet at the
Masonic ball last night at $3.50. Ov-
era hui.-.fed business and profession
al men were present. Rev. Smith
had charge of the ceremonies and
after the splendid repast made a short
talk on how the Evangelistic party
enjoyed the cooperation and friend
ship OF the men who were always
called upon to back every movement
that was ever started. Rev. Newlin
also made short, but pleasing talk.
Then Revs Newlin, Smith, Epson
and Gourley gave a quartet number
that was highly appreciated.
Those who had gathered at the
banquet were asked to attend the ser
vice at the tabernacle and a majority
of them accepted the invitation.
Elsewhere in this issue we publish
the program for the balance of the
week. and from time to time We hope
to publish such information concern
ing the meetings that will be of in
terest to our readers.
