 Wonderful. Astonishing! Great! Magnificent! were the terms used in reference to tn, splendid mems meet ing held in the Stephens tabernacle Sunday afternoon. Fully 2,50O men heard Mr. Stephens strong address on "Hot Cakes Off the Griddle." By way of introduction MT. Stephens quoted MT. Moody who said, "Men have right to ask three things of a preacher, namely, Are you posted on your subject; Do you believe what you preach; Do you mean me well" "All these things are true in regard to this address. and to mo-" said MT. Stephens. He then launched into his address and said in part:
 I want to serve a number of hot cakes this afternoon and if you are in need of them I hope they will burn into your very soul l want to say right here, that my text is true, and have one of the finest texts in the Bible. Gal. 6:7. Be not deceived God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.' This is true in every thing in life. But there is another truth along with it, and that is that we reap more than we SOW.
 1 want to speak first of profan- ity. No gentleman will take Gods name in vain. Reverence for God is one of the fundamentals of all charac- ter. It is a shame for man to take the holy name of God in vain. There is no sense in swearing. Men do not ,1% \o ho1yo orr,,rI kho,v y,10 of business if you swear.
 'I want to speak of the habit of telling dirty jokes. You can not tell them from your lips and not from your heart. If any man says he can tell smutty stories and not be at heart like them he lies A man who deals in that kind of stuff is not fit tG, associate with hogs. If men tell dittv jokes boys will. We are no clean CT than our tongues"
 MT. Stephens then paid his respects to eambling Suca scoring as this subject received He demonstrated his ability to deal with it to the limit
 Excoriates Bigotry.
 "I want to speak here of snenring Any man who sneers at another's religion is so low down that wouli not spit upon him. Real men will not sheer at your religion and you ought not to care about the others. It is a deep-dyed sin for you to sheer at re- ligion and at God.
 is adultery. Oh, what an awful sin. It takes man to hell quicker than any other thing. want to say to you that when a man denies religion and all that is good, he has something wrong in his heart. Most infidels and atheists are licentious. Nothing keeps you away from Christ like impuritv. Keep your soul pure and God will help you to be man. If you are impure tkern is victory for you with the help of God. Assume the right attitude toward womanhood, cut out the cigar cites. and keep pure thoughts in your mind and you will be saved.'
 A great strong deep, and loving ap- peal was made to the men to live bet ter lives and to accept Christ as their Savior Seventy-two responded and confessed their faith in Christ. Woman's Meeting.
 At the same hour as tha mems meeting Miss Byrnes and Mrs. Powell had a meeting for women only in the First Baptist church. This large audi torium and Sunday school room were packed to capacity, and many people stood. Miss Byrnes spoke on Seven Typos of Wtmen in the Bible"
 Night Service.
 At night the great tabernacle was full to overflowing, and many wen: away because there was no more room. MT. Stephens spoke on Hell, It's Ger tairtv, the Kind of Place, and How to Escape" "My heart aches,' said the evangelist, "to speak upon this awful subject. But it must be spok- en upon. Hell is mentioned twelve times in the New Testament and eleven of these times it was spoken of by my Lord. There are too many people who have the idea tha.
