Sunday afternoon will go down in history as one of the greatest relig- ,ious events in the annulS of Bisbee. Dr. Charles Reign Scoville gave his famous sermon on "The Dead-Line of Amusements," or "The Ten Plaques of the American People" 70 persons came forward, making HAP to date.
 The building was literally packed with chairs in every available space and two rows of chairs in the aisles. children sat on the steps of the platform and men and women stood in the balcony and also in the main auditorium.

 'Another suggestive text would be this: Be not overcome of organized evil. but overcome organized evil with organized good I just put in one word-organized.

Those art the plaques. I will use as many a: am able but will close the sermon on time. Sam Jones said he coul' tpke any of his sermons, cut it II half put on a caboose and he womb have a full sermon. I must do tha today whether I want to or not.
 Borrowing a figure of speech some people say: God made every body, God understands everybody God will save everybody That i not true God says: The soul tha sinneth it shall die
 "What I am getting at and I wan you to feel it-Have I hit sin to- hard in Bisbee? Answer me-yes O no, (Here the crowd thundered ou 'No.O Well then, I'll hit it harder I'll give you what you ask for.
