Several thousand persons waded
through couple Of inches Of rain
and ploughed cheerfully along against
driving March wind yesterday to
hear Evangelist Charles Reign SEQ
Vile wade, also cheerfully, into sin.
| The rain which fell almost incessant-
ly from early morning until late last
night, failed to dampen the enthus-
iasm of the crowd. It cut the attend
ance, however, and Scoville changed
the program he had planned and an
nounced for the day. He did not
preach his amusement sermon in the
afternoon nor the sermon, Prepare to
Meet Thy God" Zone of his strong

Irevivalist preached from the. text,
"As many as received Him, to them
gave He the power to become the sons
OF God" Last night he preached
what was said by many in the crowd
to be his most powerful sermon Of the

with the people Of God rather than to
enjoy the pleasures of sin for a sea-
son. He said mo- when 1t meant all
to him."
He told the story Of Moses birth, OF
his early life and Of the latter days
when he rejected a chance to win high
honors at the throne Of the Pharoh.

"'Moses,' she says softly, the time
will come when you will be offered
the throne Of Egypt. Don't forget,
