81 TRAIL HITTERS
Continned

EdllOu Ut. Lyon threw DOlnD N the !
audience when he made a startling
request that all the men i'm the audi
ence who had not spoken a cross
word to their wives that day sing
the FIRST verse of the hymn Tell Il
Wherever You Co." A moment of ex-
treme embarrassment accompanied by
apprehensive shivers on the mascu-
line part of the audience followed. At
this psychological moment the strains
of the Onward Christian Soldiers"
played by the Henry and Young Band
were heard. Instantly, attention, es-
pecially masculine attention. became
centered on the lower part of the
tabernacle and upon the timely en-
trance of the Presbyterian delegation.
Tell 1t Wherever You Go" was not
sung at all.
The music at last nights service
made a special appeal At no pre-
vious service has the big chorus choir
been in better voice or under more
perfect control. The hymns,they sang
last night and the way they sang them
had a profound effect on the audience
and exerted much influence in per-
suading backsliders to hit the trail
At the close Of the invitation the con-
yerts were asked to kneel together
while they repeated a prayer pledging
themselves to STAND up for Jesus"
About 300 persons attended the ser
vice yesterday afternoon. Chris
