I The big tabernacle meetings are {
thing of the past-the last song sung
the last invitation given, the last effor,
made to save souls in the big shed has
been made. Long after the closing in
vitation song last night men were striv
ing and finding their Saviour. As fal
as the tabernacle meetings are con
cerned they are matter of history
but as far as reporting the results are
concerned that is impossible. For the
final report Of results we must wait
until the dawn Of eternity for com.
plete report. The effort is just begin
ning-the hallelujahs Of those saved
during these meetings will ring out all
throughout eternity. The meetings are
over but the effort has just begun.
Farewells have been said to members
Of the party but only good morning
has been spoken to the efforts.
Despite the bad weather conditions,
yesterday was great day at the taber-
nacle, it being the closing day of the
six weeks meeting. -Four services were
held yesterday, three ut the big shed
and one at the Methodist church.
Morning Service.
: At the morning service Mr.. Harper
spoke from the subject, Launch Out
urging every Christian To launch out in
the Masters work, taking the story of
Jesus ut the sea of Galilee when He
met Peter and the other fellows where
they had been fishing all night with
out results, but upon the Masters
request, he Launched out into the
deep where they again put down the
net. The result was great draught
Of fishes. Launch out into the Deep"
urged the speaker, don't fish among
the pebbles. A coast land fisher don't
get anywhere, he don't catch ANYTHING.
BE deep sea fisher and let down your
net at Jesus bidding and catch men
and women for the Kingdom"
Some folks may tell you, "Now you
don't want to be a crank in this religi-
Gus business" whoever tells you that
is a paid ambassador of the devil. You
can't 60 too far in the service of Jesus
Christ" 1t was strong effort on the
part of the evangelist to get the new
lined up in the work Of the
Lord.
Mems Meeting.
At 3 o'clock at the tabernacle there
was a meeting for men only at which
time the temporary organization of
mems union Gospel team for Webster
City was effected by the selection of
A. f. Bryan as president, r. c. Sawyer
as treasurer and Fred Hahne as pub
Lefty director. Leaders were also
for about month ahead.
The first meeting will Ike held next Sun
day afternoon at the Baptist church
and Chas. Cheney and Art McElmurray
we're appointed as leaders for that serv-
Ice.
After the formation of this organiza-
ton, Mr.. Harper spoke from the sub
ject, 'Filling the Bill" This was
another strong effort on the part of Mr..
to show folks how to Fill the
bill'' for their Lord and Master. He
told the men that in every kind of
business these days we heard on every
hand the need of efficiency and elimi-
mating waste, yet we make the greatest
failure. of life when we fail to make
our efficiency count for God.
Girls Meeting.
At 3 O'Clock at the Methodist church
there was meeting for girls and wo-
men only. which was in charge Of Miss
Geraldine Roberts. An excellent must
.al program was given under the direc-
ion Of Miss Rosalind Cook, who was
also in charge of big high school girls
chorus which rendered some most de-
|ightful selections. Those who spoke
gave talks that were of much interest
and great benefit to girls Of today and
while practically the entire crowd of
ZONE 200 were Christians, yet the serv-
ICES were of great inspiration to all
present.
