7 Constructing the Tabernacle.
Dr. Rrop ley mas found that tab
ernacle is the best popular place Tor
widespread revival OF religion;
that the net cost is small when his
|fplans and instructions are carefully
followed: that the large deiesatlon ms
which attend the meetings can be
looked after more satisfactorily:
taat people will go to a tabernacle
that will never go to church and
that the churchest themselves can
more unitedly work for amoral and
spiritual uplift of the people by US
ing a specially constructed taber-
nacle for the campaign.
The site of the building OF the
tabernacle is then selected and plans
and specifications are furnished by
Or. Bromley. the size of the taber-
nacle being determined by the popu-
iation of the com munity. Then
call for volunteer workers Ms sent
out, the thing being. carefully organ
lied and two days are set apart as
Tabernacle Days" in which men
and women gather; the women pro-
yiding luncheon while the men pro-
coed to construct the great building
that will house the people for the
several weeks of the campaign. Any
one who can drive q nail or saw a
plank is used under the> direction OF
a skilled superntendepA The tab
ernacle is so constructed as 10 pc
easily ventilated, is well lighted and
] fitted with comfortable seats, SO ar
ranged that everyone may be at ease
| during the service An elevated
platform for the speaker is erected
and Immediately in the rear OF the
speakers stand, ample provision Is
! made for the chorus.
