Hundreds Of people flocked to the
big tent last evening to attend the
closing service who were unable to
gain admission. Every seat had beer
taken long before the hour arrived
FOR opening, and many were COMPEL
ed to stand who managed to get in

Resolutions Adopted by Ministers.
AS a token of their appreciation
of the efforts of Evangelist Smith
and the great work he has been IN
strumental in accomplishing, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted by
the ministerial association of the city,
at a special meeting and read before
the great audience at the tent last
night by Rev. Eugene B. Jackson:
Resolution offered by Rev. Jackson:
aWe, the ministers of Alexandria,
Va Z. desire thus to express our great
appreciation of the splendid work
which has been accomplished here
by the Rev. Gypsy" Smith, jr., and and
his co-!laborers, Prof Cole and Miss
Hoagland in the past month. Surely,
the needs of city were never more
accurately diagnosed, nor indeed was
the gospel ever applied more faith
fully as the remedy. Visible results
have already justified the union ef-
fort and new desire for religious
things makes its probable that the
largest harvest is yet to be reaped.
We want to express out qualification
at the fact that Bro. Smith has
never failed to appreciate the work
of the church through the ministry,
but has uniformly exalted it to its
rightful position. By his life in the
community, Bro. Smith has accentu-
ated the value and power of per-
sonal conservation. The spiritual
tone in our churches has been lifted,
many persons have been converted,
and the moral life of our city has been
wonderfully strengthened. Our
prayers will go with our dear brother,
that God may give him strength for
his life-work, and we invoke Gods
blessings upon his wife and children,
and his great family connectlon.
which God has so signally honored'
We would give our most hearty: COM
mendation, not only to the effective
ness of his work, but also to the tact
and wisdom and spirit of his meth
cd.

Too much praise cannot be given
Miss Hoagland for her excellent work
as pianist in the tent services. To be
good accompanist implies some
thing more than bein fine musician.
1t means having an ear finely tuned
and ever on the alert, heart and
mind thoroughly in accord with the
matter in hand, with the ability to
lead or follow, just as the circum-
stances may demand-all of which
Miss Hoagland possesses to a marked
degree. A proof of this is seen in
the readiness with which the little
children have learned the songs and
the correct blending of their voices
in unison. Old and young are unani-
nous in their appreciation.

text for the evening. When Christ
told him that he should sell all he
had and give to the poor the young
man "went away. This was en-
ployed to illustrate many people CT
today; who refuse to give up the
things that prevent them from becom-
ing followers of Christ. Whether it
be drink, gambling, ,women-whatever
it may be we must give it up and
make a complete surrender, said the
evangelist.
"It's hard thing for rich man
to be christian" said Mr.. Smith,
esfor the natural man is at enmity
toward God" Continuing he said:
sIf there's a desire in your heart
to lead better life don't strangie it.
It will lead you over the old-fashion-
ed hill to calvary. If some of you
should take look back over your
life you'd be shocked to see how
far you have turned from Jesus
Christ. But if you will follow that
prompting in your heart it will lea
you into the glory of God. Don't
dare stifie it for it is the holy spirit.
know the struggle that's going on
in your heart. For me the christian
life is a struggle have to keep
close to Him. But what life God
calls US to!
"Oh, men and women, plead with
you! Have the courage to come and
say T'll come
In response to the invitation 116
persons Went to the platform, and
shook the hand of the evangelist as
a token that they would try to fol-
low Christ. 1t was the largest num-
Der that had come out in any one
meeting.
The Union Service at II O'clock
Yesterday.
The big tent was packed full Of
people at the eleven o'clock service.
AS prelude to his sermon the evan
gelist addressed those particularly
who had come out in the meetings,
exhorting them to join the church Of
their choice at once, without any de-
lay. Said he: "The grandest thing in
your Christian life will be to get 9TH
ers to serve Christ"
The theme for his discourse was
Fishers of Men," taken from the
fifth chapter of st. Luke. 1t was one
of the most forceful sermons he has
delivered here. The Gazette regrets
that owing to lack of space it can
not be published in full.
Another strong sermon was that
of Saturday evening from the text
in Ephesians SID: awake, thou
that sleepest, arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light" The
speaker held the close attention of
his audience from the beginning to
the end of his address calling atten-
ton to many pointed truths which
called forth frequent amens from
those who listened and appreciated
their Importance. Forty-three went
forward at the close of the service.
The meeting for men yesterday af-
ternoon at 8 o'clock brought out a
tent full of listeners to his story of
gypsy life, in which especial refer
ence was made to the experiences of
his father and grand-father's family,
and which will be given more fully
in his lecture at the tent tonight.
