Although $50 converts have hit the
trail and Sl1.15913 has been collected
in the period of eleven days sunday
gave several members Of his Paterson
staff a stiff talking 70 after the night
meeting.
There should have been 500 con-
verts instead Of the 1873 we had to-
night" he said. "The current expenses
are outlandishly big. Philadelphia had
/ the largest current expenses, Puts
burgh was next and Paterson third.
ahead of Scranton and other places.
The talk was with the ushers, per
sonal workers. some Of the ministers
and some of the members of the choir.

hitters stopped coming up the sswdust
path he wanted TO see these people
He led them into a corner.
"If you think that | am going 70

then / am through" he said. There s
no reason why we can't get 5000 or
1000 as easily as 300 or 400 con-
verts." ,o-
Sundays disappointment that the 4Ol
converts OF last night shrunk to IVY
tonight was evidenced even on the
platform. He had worked TO his call
with such strong effect the audience
burst into applause. Immediately he
asked as usual.
After the converts we're on the
benches he prayed, and even his prayer
showed his chagrin.

women should go out of here tonight
shamefaced and say, 4 didn't have the
grit to do it.? Isn't 1t fierce, Lord
Isn't It ferce%'
