himself from the feast because he
bought five yoke of ken and must go
and prove them lied, because it was
getting dark and he could not prove
them at night. Down in Kentucky
when the farmers want 10 prove new
oxen the farmer ties their tails together
and Jokes them up and turns them out
for a week to get acquainted. q
The Gro wd was reduced on Friday
night. On account of the storm the
Presbyterians could not turn out in
full force. But Saturday night, the
Junior Choir Night, the sides of the
glory barn almost bulged out, so many
had come to hear the Junior Choir
sing. Nearly two hundred voices sur
prised and delighted the great audi
ence with their singing. They did all
the singing for that service. After the
sermon Mr.. Hicks made a call for per-
sons to take a stand for Christ. This
was the first time he called for a deci-
sion. More than twenty hit the saw
dust trail. Here is where Rev. H. w.
Maier shines, in leading persons to take
a stand and speaking to each n per-
sonally who came out. Nj. Maier also
manages the prayer meetings and is
manager in general.
Sunday was an ideal day, but it was

has not beer broken up. But the stay
at-homes missed a great which
the evangelist preached to the Chris
tians. The cycle again was thrust in
at the young peoples meeting in the
afternoon after listening to a sermon
onp"Memory." 1t was then that the

Baptist night at the great Tabernacle
on Thursday night OF last week brought
ont a large congregation to hear Evan
gelist Hicks preach on excuses why
people refuse to accept the invitation
to the gospel feast. The Baptists
formed into line at the Baptist church
and marched il a body to the "Glory
Barn." AS they entered the building
the congregation sang 1--WE are March
ing to Zion" The excellent singing by
the great choir under the management
or Charles Wesley Hicks, the evange-
lists brother, Is a forceful feature of the
meetings. Speaking under the head of
invitations the preacher said fabulous
sums were offered for an invitation to

EVANGELIST HICKS e
STIRRING WILDWOOD
The Great Tennessee Preacher Addresses Big Audiences at the
"Glory Barn" Nearly 200 Chndren's Voices Heard in
a Great Chorus Last Saturday night
Supervisor Chalmers Denies the EVANGELIST the
Right to Speak in the School House

Ira Evans Hicks, the great Evangelist, preached
powerful sermons last Saturday night and three times
on Sunday at the Wildwood "Glory Barn." The Sun
day services created a great deal of interest, as they did
on the preceding Sunday. During the week the evan
gelist and his workers visited Henry c. Chalmers, super
visor of the Wildwood public schools, and asked permits
sion to address the children in the school house, which
request MI. Chalmers refused. Mr.. Hicks referred to
this in his sermon Saturday night and condemned the
educator for his refusal. One man in the audience, who
has a daughter in the high school, evidently agreed with
the preacher when be cried 'Let Your Hair Blow"
Monday was rest day for Mr.. Hicks, when he made
a trip to Philadelphia. Tuesday night was high school
night, when a big body of students of the Wildwood high
school marched into the Tabernacle, accompanied by the
Boy Scouts, and took front seats reserved for them.
They we're loudly applauded as they marched into the
building. The applause of the parents and congrega-
ton seemed to have in it the spirit of defiance to the
stand that had previously been taken against Mr.. Hicks
speaking in the high school building to the student
body. In the course of his sermon MI. Hicks said that
it was the greatest mistake an educator could make to
Danish a public speaker from the schools.
The program for Wednesday night was for all Chris
tians to meet at the Tabernaclea and march on the streets
but on account of the storm that part of the program
was cancelled. Last night Thursday was patriotic
night, when delegations from the Coast Artillery, Boy
Scouts, Daughters of Pocahontas and P. o.. S.. of A. we're
present. There were about a dozen converts on that eve
ming. Tonight will be graded school night. Saturday
night will be Junior Choir night again. There will be
nearly two hundred children who will sing. This will
be a great night. Sunday will be a big day in the
"Glory Barn." with services morning, afternoon and
evening. An interesting feature is the union Sunday
school in the Tabernacle every Sunday at 2.3o in the
afternoon. At $50 Sunday afternoon, Immediately after
Sunday-school, Mr.. Hicks will speak to men only. His
subject will be "Green Apples" Boys under twelve
will not be admitted. Next Tuesday night will be Odd
Fellows night. Every Odd Fellow on the island,
whether a member of the local lodge or of some other
lodge, is invited to meet at the lodge room at the Holly
Beach fire house at seven o'clock next Tuesday night
and march to the Tabernacle in a body.
