OVERAbLS WORK
ON TABERNACLE


Work on the tabernacle for the
Lyon evangeIistic services on the
Boulevard triangle got under full way
this morning when about seventy-ive
men, carpenters, preachers and other
workmen responded to the call for
volunteers with hammer and nails and
overalls. Much OF the frame work
had been completed when the new
Corners arrived, and they had to set
in the sidings, and put up the frame
work for the support of the roof of
the tabernacle. 7. w. Rapp was di-
recting the work.
The sidings on the Eighteenth street
side of the structure were put up
this morning, along with much Of the
siding toward the apex of the triangle
The work was enthusiastically taken
part in by the men who had reported
for work, including ministers of the
local churches, who scampered about
the grounds with youthful agility.
Everybody was doing all possible to
be done to put the structure up. The
carpenters made rapid progress in
!
manifested by them. and by the less
skilled who held up" the supports
while they were being made intact.
the work will be completed in a short
time.
A number OF preachers of the local
churches and their laymen rendered
assistance in the work. They ran
about carrying planks or holding up
. sfrra al
carpenters nailed them into their
proper position. Some came out at
tired in their regular everyday
clothes. while others came upon the
scene togged out in overalls or old
coats. 1t seemed fun for the ministers
to give their aid in the work and they
thoroughly enjoyed It,
One Of the most enthusiastic work
men was the Rev. Vaughan S. Collins
pastor Of st. Pauls NJ. f. Church. He
was one OF the first to arrive on the
scene, and he came well prepared
After he had donned a pair of we'll
, worn Overalls and jumper, he pro
duced his hammer. rule, and other
needs OF a carpenter. which ne car
ried in a huge satchel. and proceeded
to labor. Dr. Collins had been called
aside from his work for few sec
onds. While talking he noticed that
a support had been placed a little
, lower than It should be. He called
. Mr.. Rapp's attention to this miscue
; and the work was adjusted. Thai
shows the knowledge of the work
; that is entertained by DR.. Collins. He
| was the most carpenter looking
! preacher on the grounds-and nc
/ wore kid gloves, TOO.
The Rev Henry Cunningham, pastor
{ of Eastlake Presbyterian Church. ar
/. rived for duty at 9.13 o'clock with Z
. new cluster" After he had dressed
( himself in his long coat, which b.
! had carried to the scene neatly folde'
= and creased, he got into action an
I helped his brethren haul planks.
r When he arrived for duty the Rev
: T. r. Beauchamp, secretary OF IN
CITY Missionary Society, was pre-
pared with a pair Of overalls. Liz
all the other preachers. he started Il
10 carry planks and boards.
, II took the Rev. f. +. Carpenter .
+. Brandywine Church and l.. NJ. Broad
l way of KingswOod. to carry one planl
for a distance of few feet. They arr
lboth big men, but the planks were
lhuskier than they. apparently. Ate
a little while they got up their cour
age and carried two planks betwe~
i. them.
