NIGHTS
REVIVAL MEETING
LARGEST OF WEEK
First Baptist Church Is Crowded
with People, All Enthusiastic
and Interested in the Work
All Are Charmed by Mr.. Tay-
lor's Eloquence = Singing BY
Harry Chamberlain, Miss Tay.
Tor and Union Chorus Feat
ure

A record crowd for a week night re.
ligious meeting tested the seating en-
pacity of the Winthrop Street BAPTIST
church last evening. This service was
the, best yet in point of interest and
power. The big chorus was on duty in
full force, wearing new ribbon badges
marked Taylor. Chamberlain Choir, Oct
Nov, '16, 122'" Considerable curiosity
was aroused by the figures. They repre-
sent the number of the campaign hymn,
I'm Dwelling in Beulah Land" which is
being sung with enthusiasm, not only in
the meetings but also in the homes ami
shops of Augusta. Mr. Taylor announced
that copies of the hymnal, which is the
Billy Sunday song book, might be pur-
chased by the people and many were
glad to pay the price, only IL cents, for
the best collection Of hymns 20 be OBJ
tanned.
After rousing song service conducted
by Harry Chamberlain, the evangelist
suddenly put question to the crowd,
saying that he wanted 900 answers in IL
minutes. Holding up large Bible lie
asked What Go you think of this book"
AS soon as the people could recover from
their surprise. they began to pour in
volley of answers which filled the time
to the limit. Ruth Taylor then sang
1.-THE Old Fireside," a song full Of the
pathos and preciousness of the Bible.
In commencing his mastery address.
Mr.. Taylor said that he would much
rather that some one else should preach.
He did not wish to put himself forward

the glory of God. 81 don't want to talk
so folks will say that the Gods have
come down from heaven to earth but 50
that Gods people will say Let us be up
and doing for the Master.
He took as his subject the parable Of
the good Samaritan, drawing from
many lessons in Christian service. Don't
see how quickly you can get from one
place to another but how many people
you can help on the way. The average
man is not standing still but going down
hill. The world is full Of robbers who
are stealing away the love Of the home
and the love of the church and the love
Of the prayer meeting. Regalia don't
count with God Almighty; it's what Is
buttoned up under the clothes. When
the church of Jesus Christ ceases to be
evangelistic it departs from the spirit of
the Master. When the Y. M. c. A. hasn't
anything but bowling alleys and billiard
tables and forgets to win souls 1t mis-
represents George Williams. Neither rs-
ligion nor law can heal the wounds OF
sin without loving compassion" With
vivid touches the speaker pictured the
scene upon the road to Jericho and ap-
piled its lessons to his hearers That TINS
powerful appeal had its effect upon tne
people was evident when nearly everyone
in the big audience pledged hmsen oS
raising the hand to support the miss'on
by prayer and work. - ~

GERMANY IS :

OF ARRIVAL

Berlin, Nov. 2. via London-The Ger
man Ocean Navigation Co. Of Bremen
has up to now been unable to confirm
the news Of the arrival Of the merchant
submarine Deutschland at New Lon
don. While the newspapers all display
prominently the British news agency
messages announcing the arrival they
are inclined to question the authentici-
ty Of the news. Their readers are ask
ed to remember the sources from which
the telegram originates and not to in
dulge in jubilation until a direct mes
sage from Captain Koenig. commander
Of the undersea trader. relieves them
Of all doubt.
The skeptical attitude of the press Is
easily explained when it is recalled
that an erroneous story Of the arrival
Of the commercial submarine Bremen
at an American port some time ago
caused extensive space in the columns
Of the press to be devoted to laudatory
comment and eliminated at Bremen in
a celebration Of the event.
