ENTIRE COST Of BIC REVIVAL
MEETINGS RAISED IN SINGLE
TABERNACLE SESSION SUNDAY
Ronsing Meeting Permits
Men Who Guaranteed Ex-
penses to Be Relieved Of
Responsibility for Costs

What with the remarkably successful
parade Saturday afternoon, the raising
of all the money for the entire cost OF
he revival services and rousing meet
ing in the Tabernacle last evening, the
Hart Magann eVangelistic series start
ed off the present week in very strik
ing manner. The parade Saturday af-
ternoon went off as planned without a
hitch and was probably one of the
largest parades ever given in Phoenix.
Headed by the Indian School band,
after which came the evangelists, then
a very large number of bicycles, many
of them gaily decorated, automobiles
completed the line. Large trucks on
which were many keenly interested
people, were in the line as representa-
tives of the local churches, which have
banded together to make the services
a success. There were also many pri-
vate automobiles milne.
All of the ST. 400, which covers the
entire expenses of the revival cam
paign, was cheerfully contributed by
the congregations at the Tabernacle,
Sunday, and no more collections are to
be taken.
Mr.. Hart devoted a large part of the
morning service to a clear statement
of the financial obligations incurred
through building the tabernacle and
conducting the revival, after which
practically the entire congregation by
rising, slgnified an eager desire to help
meet the expenses of the meetings AS
the maximum sum any individual was
asked to give was 81, the amount raised
was evenly distributed
The revival campaign was underwrit-
ten by group Of men from each of the
nine churches concerned in the move
ment, under the name of the Phoenix
Union Evangelistic association Shares
were issued to each member of the
association and each shareholder be-
came responsible for the number Of
shares standing in his name. The
amount secured Sunday will release the
association from any liability.
None of the money paid in goes to
the evangelists. The only remunera-
uon they are to receive will be a free
VIII Offering taken on the last Sunday
of the revival campaign.
After permanently disposng Of the
financial question. Mr.. Hart gave a
short but splendid sermon, taking for
his text, NO Man Cares for Ny Soul"
He spoke point idly on the solicitude
manifested for Iaans fraternal affilia
tons, financial standing and social DO
sition, while the matter of supreme
concern, the immortal soul, was ie-
nored
II was impossible to seat the multi
tude OF people who attended the even
ing service. Mr.. Hart delivered a ser
mon on THE objectionable Sin" which
IS considered one OF the most vital
messages OF the oamDaign. He plainly
betrayed the effects of a strenuous
day but nevertheless made tremen-
dous impression on the audience.
Mr.. MaGann sang a beautiful song in
which the music of II Trova.ore was
used for a setting.
