Another record breaking audience.

pIeadings in song solo and chorus.
another night when strong men and
women turned definitely to Christ ae
their Savior from sin: another time
when conviction fell upon an audi
encH Of thousands. Such were the
services at the tabernacle last night
A striking incident of this service
was at the close OF the sermon. There
was a seven minute silence. Two min
utes of this time was when every
head in the tabernacle was humbly
bowed in prayer The other five min
utes was when from that audience
standing with bowed heads men and
women walked down the aisles TO give
their hand to Mr. stephens in token
of their accepting Christ Then fol-
lowed other precious minutes when
Old time songs of invitation softly
swelled up through the tabernacle and
still others took this defenite step
It was a great night and a promise

tired to pray, and finally in age with
its trembling and infirmity a Spirit
departed brought the refrain
No hope No God, can not pray;
No other day, no other day,
The Holy Spirit has gone to stay"

prayer and he was Immediately fol-
lowed by Mr.. stephens, whose theme
was "the objectionable sin Tie

who came 10 hear a sermon of mys-
ticism were disappointed Those who
came to hear strange things that

Mr.. Stephens showed that the per

Spirit lead to that state Of soul
