the greatest revival she has ever
known. The crowds at the morning
service. the afternoon service and
the night service taxed the seating
capacity OF the big tabernacle. At
night the crowd reached far into the
streets, where people stood through
out the service listening to the magic
words Of the speaker.
Weighing City.
The Sunday night subject was the
Weighing the City The evange-
ist read from the 5th chapter of
Daniel and took for his text a part
of the 18th verse--"Thou Art
Weighed in the Balance and Found
Wanting" He called attention to
the fact that here in this short chap
ter We have practically all we know
OF King BelshaZar. This king made
feast and many men and women
We're gathered in the banquet hall
eating. drinking and making merry.
While they were thus praising gods
Of gold, brass and stone Judgment
came very suddenly. Judgment al
ways comes when we least expect it.
In stressing the thought, the
evangelist said, s'if you take up the
papers with this thought in view,
YOU will be impressed with the fact
that the most recorded deaths are
the sudden deaths. Thousands and
hundreds of thousands are carried
suddenly into the great beyond.
There are thousands dying in the
homes that fall without a word. 1t
does seem therefore that If one Is
going to make preparations to meet
their God they ought to do it while
they are strong and well-if you
wait for the notice from judgment
you may never make it.
