the language he uses:

of the building will also be brilliantly Illuminated

Though grading is still being done at the north

"oh yes" laughed the builder
How many of them they gonna have?"
We'll, itll take about twenty-five" said Mr.
spece
What do they want with so many one-armed
men?" asked the Innocent Bystander.
ITO take up the collections" said the cop.
'I've never missed a date" said Mr.. Speice.
Always have had the tabernacle ready for the
meetings on schedule time. In Pittsburgh had the
hardest tussle with time. reached there just four
teen days before the meetings were to start. But
got the tabernacle up couldn't get the electric
wiring done, but put in gasoline torches the first
few nights, and the meetings went right along"
After the meetings are over here the taber-
nace will be sold to the highest bidder. According
to Mr.. spece the building usually sells for about
20 per cent OF what It cost that the net cost is
not great.
When the tabernacle here is complete the build
ers will 60 to Syracuse N. Y, to begin work on
the tabernacle there, whence they proceed to Bal

1t is interesting to observe that there is rea-
son for naming the BILLY" Sunday meeting place
tabernacle There is good scriptural authority
for the use OF that word in building of this char
acter. The ancient Jews carried structure OF
wooden framework, covered with curtains through
the wilderness in the Exodus as place OF worship
and sacrifice. This called the tabernacle
The dictionary defines tabernacle as "a slightly
built or temporary habitation; transient shelter
The human body is considered as a temporary
habitation of the soul. Shortly must put off this
my tabernacle" says st. Peter.
The word used derogatively in Eng
land, referring to the meeting places of dssenters
chiefly Methodsts Now II is often used to indicate
church with very large auditorium.
In the Bible there many verses in which
the word occurs. For example:
Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacIeY
Who shall dwell in Thy holy hin7 He that walketh
uprightly and worketh righteousy and speaketh the
truth in his heart "-Psalms xv:1 and O.
How amiable are Thy tabernaoles, Lord OF
hosts My soul longeth, yea even fainteth for the
courts OF the Lord."--Psalms lxxxiv:1 and q
Look upon zion the city OF our solemnities:
Thine eyes shall Jerusalem city OF quiet hab-
itation tabernacle that shall not be taken down."
