TAB. MEETINGS
Dow City Tabernacle Meetings Will
Close This Week After Very
Successful Meeting
BIG PARADE SATURDAY EVENING
Sunday Will be a Big Day-Men's
Meeting at Three O'Clock, Fol-
lowed BY Great Evening Meeting -

/; DOW CITY, Nov. 20 Especial to the
Review)-This is the closing week OF
the tabernacle meetings. 1t will be a
busy week. Great crowds have been
coming. Several times the. tabernacle
has been filled to it's capacity.
The men of the churches meet in
the Methodist church at a noon lunch
con Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
for prayer and conference concerning
the kingdom of God in this community
for the present and future.
Tuesday night was Farmers night
and fine representation was out. On
Friday afternoon will be Mothers ser
vice. Automobiles will be sent to the
homes of the aged if Rev. Adams will
be notified that they are needed.
Saturday afternoon there will be a
big parade in which the different
church organizations will take part.
Those of the Baptist will meet at
their church at two o'clock and the
Methodist will meet\ at their church
at the same hour Delegations from
outside churches and Sunday schools
will meet at the tabernacle at that
hour.
Sunday will be the big day. Three
services at the tabernacle and a
womens' meeting at the Methodist
church. The Mems meeting will be
held at the tabernacle at three o'clock.
At each of these services free-will
offerings will be taken for Evangelist
Colegrove. Let the people come pre-
pared to give liberal Offering.
Remember that there will be after
noon services Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday.
Upwards of one hundred have be-
gun the Christian life and many more
will make their surrender and turn
their backs on sin before the meetings
close Sunday night.
Many people who attended the taber
nacle meetings at Denison several
years ago are emphatic in saying that
these tabernacle meetings excel in
spiritual power, in the devotion of
the evangelists, in the quality Of the
services rendered, in musical talent,
and in pulpit earnestness, power and
ability. Let us remind the people
again, that an opportunity like unto the
one now so nearly gone, will not come
this way for long time.
The meetings have revealed that
the surrounding community have been
and are greatly interested in these
services, while a large part Of the
folks of the town have demonstrated
that the devil has a tref,X6dous mort
gage on the souls of til III S1any of its
Verify. the ssvil has used
tho saloon and is now 1lSing the DOn1
halls, the card dens, questionable en-
and amusements and the
dry rot Of ecclesiastical dogmas and
teachings, to so enmesh souls for hell
that to rescue them for heaven is diff
ficult. What an awful thing it is for
many of the lost to tell you that they
have no desire to be saved, and that
they really want to live in sin. When
a large number of souls in Dow City
openly and quietly oppose righteous
ness, the things of Gods kingdom,
and the church of His son, can the
city hope to prosper as it would like
and hope to escape the wrath of the
Prov. 29-1: "He. that be-
ing often reproved hardeneth his neck
shall suddenly be destroyed, and that
without remedy" Matt. 11.21: "Woe
unto you, for if the mighty works
which were done in you, had been
done in Tyre and Sidon, they would
have repented long ago in sackcloth
and ashes. But l say unto you, it
shall be more tolerable for Tyre and
Sidon in the day of judgment than
for you Surely many of the lost
of Dow City are to be least down to
hell"
