ers at Tabernacle Last Night
They Must Prepare for
This Day.
BUSINESS GIRLS THERE
Two Big Delegations Of Women Were
Present and Were Heartily
Cheered as They Entered
tho Tabernacle.

The preliminary part of the meeting
OF last night was particularly enliy-
ened by the presence of the Business
Girls league and the Women's league.
The Business Girls league marched
to the big shed In body with large
banner bearing the inscription "Busi-
ness Girls for the Kings Business" at
the head OF the column. Marching in
to the tabernacle singing as they
marched. they were seated In the
choir. filling fully third of the space
there. They were no more than
seated when the Women's league
marched in singing, with large ban
ner at the rear of their column. Both
of the organizations were heartily
cheered during their entrance and
progress to their reserved seats.
The song service went with lot Of
vim and pep" and Chorister Stewart
had a comparatively easy task to get
everyone to sing. The business girls
added considerably to the volume and
tone Of the singing. Chorister Stew
art staged a contest between the men
and women on the singing Of one song.
From all appearances and sounds, the
contest was practically draw, al
though each side claimed that they
won. A feature of the song service
was the rendition OF very enjoyable
selection by male quartette Of we'll
known business men. The selection
was good and the singing Of it better,
and they were applauded and respond
ed with another pleasing selection.
To Chorister Stewart belongs the
large part of the credit for the vim
and enthusiasm in the meetings. He
works hard and he gets results as was
evidenced by the enthusiastic singing
Of the chorus and congregation last
night. Evangelist Scoville gave a
particular word of welcome and com
mendation to the Business Girls
league and Women's league, having
them repeat their respective mottos.
Last night was distinctly women's
night. Even the men would not dare
to dispute this fact The business
girls have been meeting at Moons to
eat and discuss things and last nights
demonstration was a result Of thesa
noon meetings.
Judgment is His Topic.
The subject Of Evangelist Scoville's
sermon was 1.-The Judgment" 1T is
appointed unto men once to die, and
after this, the Judgment" was the
scripture verse upon which the SER
mon was based. "Everqbody believes
the first half of this text, but many
act as though the second half of the
statement was not true" said SEQ
Vile. He pressed the point of the
necessity OF being ready for the judy
ment.
IT there was going to be panic in
the financial world you would get
ready for it, and yet you make no
preparation for a day which will be
greater than any panic" was one Of
the speakers points. Are you going
to be prepared for the Judgment vixen
it comes? People have certain days
for elections, holidays, etc, and God
will have a certain day for the judg-
ing Of the world. The Bible both in
the old and new testament, gives a
united testimony to the fact of a day
Of Judgment God hath appointed a
day in which he shall Judge the
world, Is thought repeatedly pre-
scented in the Bible. The Bible de-
scription of the Judgment is merely
figurative, but the real judgment will
be greater than the Bible description.
Everyone admits that the world
will at some time come to an end. The
Indians used to say in their deeds "as
long as the grass grows and the riv.
ers rum" but there is coming a day
when the grass will stop growing and
the waters will cease running. The
great Judgment will level everyone ac-
cording to what they have really done
and this Judgment will be impartial"
The GossIps Are Hit.
