SERMON A LESSON
TO YOUNG PEOPLE
Convincing Lecture on Dan
gers of Voyage of Life,
by Mr.. Smith.

An inspiring spectacle greeted
those who sought seats early in the
great tabernacle last night when hun
dreds of boys and girls, from the city
schools, following a banner cagried
high and denoting their respective
school or grade, marched from the
armory into the tabernacle last night
at 1880 o'clock. Grades and 8, of
the A. V. Clubbs school, came in
first, occupying one entire reserva-
ton. In respective order then came
grades Z and of the J. B. Jockey
school, and the Freshmen, Sophie
more, Junior and Senior classes of
| the Pensacola High school. Children
gathered within the great building
numbered upward of 1900, it was es-
timated. Twice that many adults were
! in the building, and room was at a
premium. If anything, there were
close to 4,5O0 people in the taber-
nacle. These heard a powerful plea
! from the evangelist, but the latter's
1
from the fact that it was after 8
| o'clock before he started, and as it
has been his custom to keep his con-
| gregations not a minute longer than
possible, he brought his message to
a close before all he had intended to
speak about had been said. With all
of that, however, there was another
| inspiring scene when the invitation
was given all who would renounce
the world, who would try and do their
| best to live Alright in the future, and
who would thus acknowledge such
avowal publicly. People seemed to
be awaiting for just such an offer,
for they came in streams-boys, girls,
men and women. Children came with
parents, brother with sister, chum
with chum, old men and young, and in
all conditions of life. 1t was one of
the best meetings of the series, and
a total of 149 thus greeted the evan
gelst As the boys and girls from
the schools realized what the invita-
ton was, they streamed to the front
of the platform, and at times con-
gested the aisles. The sight brought
tears to many persons in the audi
ence.
Program BY High School
The high school almost monop-
olized the program last night, and the
orchestra covered itself with good
opinions. This orchestra was COM
posed of the following: Director, Ed
ward Lurton; accompanist, Miss Julia
E. Creary; violins, firsts, Miss Mer-
cedes Cafiero, and Messrs. C. J. Helm
berg, McHenry Jones, Harry How
land; seconds, John Burrows, George
4 Greenwood and Lewis Tatom.
The high school music class also
won encomiums. Composed of about
two dozen boys and girls, they march
ed to the rostrum and rendered one
} selection after the other, and while
they sang "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," with the audience standing, a
great American flag slowly arose
from the midst of the high school sec
ton of the audience. 1t was loudly
cheered. The entire program as rem
dered before the sermon by Mr.. Smith
however, was as follows
