| Of 200 voices led by Prof. LiITenas.-
Last Friday night the tabernacle
was given over to Alma College for
the State Oratorical contest. fn, .
| spite of this interruption, the regu-
lar evangelistic campaign, Saturday
night saw a great audience TO hear
the evangelist. Many and hearty
were the responses to the first invi-
, tation Ito get in the game for Jesus
, Christ" Loose preached OH the sub
/ ject Choose Ye This Day Whom Ye
I Will Serve" The giving of the in
! vitation Saturday night came as a
! surprise to everyone. Even the min
! listers and leaders in the great meet
ing We're not expecting it so early in
/ the campaign. But the move was
thoroughly justified. Loose saw that
his audience was ready and he made
! the strike just at the right time The
way Alma is rallying to this great
enterprise is marvellous to everyone
Sunday afternoon a great audi
ence of men-more than a thousand
faced Evangelist Loose as he
thundered the truth home concern
ing "Life's Investment" The tab
ernacle was electric with interest
and enthusiasm and before one was
aware of what was taking place the
thousand men were on their feet say
ing, YOU'RE right, Loose We're
back of you in this campaign New
er in the history of Alma has a more
| representative body OF men assemb
led for any cause on any given oc-
casion. But Sunday night saw the
record broken. half hour before
the service began only standing room
was to be had. The demand Tor
seats was so great that the audieree
was called upon to crowd into the
choir loft and before those who sur
were fairly in the aisles two
more people were clamoring for the
single vacant chair. Scores came to
the tabernacle, looked in and saw
there was no chance but to stand for
two long hours and then went home
They will probably be on hand earl
ier next time. AS il was fully
thousand men stood in the open
space at the rear and lined the walls
around the sides of the great build
ing.
For a full hour Loose hurled in
vective and persuasion at the lag
gard church people urging them &c
"get into the game for Jesus Christ"
> The moment he gave the invitation
4 men and women, boys and girls
surged up the aisles Ito get into the
game for Jesus Christ"
