 Tonight.

MT. Storrs led most enthusiastic song service last night in the taber- nacle meeting. Several new songs were sung along with number of old ones. Rev. L. w. Evans led in pray CT. MT. Stephens spoke upon the sub- iect, "What Are You Waiting For?" He had for his text Psalms 39:7. And now Lord what wait for? my hope is ir Thee" Il want to ask you an i'm portant question this time. It is ask ed in the text that l have quoted to you," said the evangelist. I want to ask it in the light of your past, present and future. l want you to ask it in the face of eternity, What am l Waiting For?' Great persons are asking this question tonight. God is asking it. After all God has done and all Christ suffered in His name, what are you now waiting for? We are like the prodigal son. His old father wait ed for him for many days. He was when he returned home. Thus God tonight is wondering why you do not return and He is waiting to put His loving arms around you when you come home. God forgives, and when He forgives He forgets.
 "Christ is asking this question, What are you waiting for?' Pure and unadulterated love made Christ die for us. He drank the cup of suffer- ing on Calvary that you might not have to drink the cup of hell. He is saying to you now, after all the suff- ering thTugh which I have gone for you why do you wait so long to ac- cept Me?'
 ",rhe Holy Spirit of God is asking this question. The Holy Spirit has a marvellous way of convicting of sin. The Holy Spirit is the only person that can lead you to Christ, and can work repentance. It is an awful time when the Holy Spirit lets a sinner alone.
 Angels are lowering over this tab ernacle tonight and are asking why are you waiting? They are Gods messengers and they are wondering why you do not accept the King.
 "You may be waiting for your hus- band Don't wait for your husband. for if you do, you will neither come. Come now and your husband will be won for Christ
 "Some of you men are saying that you have no excuse for not being Christian. Then why do you not come? Perhaps you think you need a lot of time to think about it. What you need is not time. but decision.
 "Perhaps you are thinking you will not come till you get emotion. Emo tion will not save YOU. Emotions are different with different people, and you can not depend upon them. Give your heart to God and you will be all right"
 Mrs. Powell sang a solo for the invitation song. A number went for
