EDIFICE FOR REVIVAL
IS GOING UP IN JIFFY

Work on the tabernacle for the
Lyon evangelistic services on the
Boulevard triangle got under full way
this morning when about seyenty-6ve
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
comers arrived, and they had to set
in the sidings, and put up the frame
work for the support of the roof of
the tabernacle. Z. w. Rapp was di-
recting the work.
The sidings on the Eighteenth street
side of the structure we're 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
their work, and from the interest
manifested by them. and by the less
skilled who held up" the supports
while they we're being made intact.
the work viii 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
the supports while the experienced
carpenters nailed them into their
proper position. Some came out at
tired in their regular everyday
clothes. while others came upon the
scene logged out in overalls. or old
coats. II seemed fun for the ministers
to give their aid in the work and they
thoroughly enjoyed ii.
One of the most enthusiastic work
men was the Rev. Vaughan S. Collins
pastor of st. Pauls NJ. =. 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 carpenter. which he car
ried in a huge satchel. and proceeded
to labor. DIT. Collins had been called
aside from his work for few sec
onds. While talking he noticed that
support had been placed a little
lower than it should be. He called
Mr. Rapps attention to this miscue
and the work was adjusted. That
shows the knowledge of the work
that is entertained by DR.. Collins. He
was the most carpenter looking
nreacher on the grounds-and he
wore kid gloves, too.
The Rev. Henry Cunningham, pastor
of Eastlake Presbyterian Church, ar
rived for duty at 913 o'clock with a
now "duster." After he had dressed
himself in his long coat, which he
had carried to the scene neatly toldeC
and creased. he got into action an'
helped his brethren haul planks.
When he arrived Tor duty the Rev
r. r. Beauchamp, secretary OF th'
CITY Missionary Society. was pre-
pared with pair OF overalls. Lik'
all the other preachers, he started il
TO carry planks and boards.
II took the Rev. f. F. Carpenter oi
Brandywine Church and l.. M. Broad
wav of Kingswood. to carry one planl
for distance of few feet. They are
both big men, but the planks were
huskier than they, apparently After
n little while they got up their cOur
age and carried two planks betweeI
them.
