GREAT TABERNACLE
MEETING IN EXTRA
Conducted by the Scoville
Evangelistic Party. Will
Open November 18th.

munlty so small as this the pleas
and privilege of enlisting the SER
vices of so widely reknown religious
leaders as ! sCharles Reign Scovihe
and his evangelistic party. But
there are those in Extra who have,
determined there is nothing in the
world too good for this community
and are willing to make the peason-
al sacrifices necessary to procure
for it the best modern civilization
affords. Happily, these folk are
not all found in single denomina-
ton, but all share to greater or less
degree in the number of those whs
give themselves unselfshly for the
development of the community and
the Kingdom of God among men.
1t is through the cooperation of
these people that we are able to
announce that arrangements have
been completed with the Scoville
Evangelistic Party for a religious
campaign in this community to be-
gin Sunday, November IA, and
that practically all the Protestant
churches within radius of fifteen
miles will be in more or less active
cooperation.
The meetings are to be held in 5
large tabernacle with seating ca
pacity of nearly 1000 located near
the center of the city of Extra,
built expressly for the meetings.
Thursday of next week is announe-
ed as Tabernacle Day, and is to
be a great event in the history
OF the community. 1t is planned
to gather enough men to complete
the structure in a day 1t will be
a time to put in several good
| hicks for Extra and no man will
fail to do his bit in the construc-
ton of this splendid community
building. The ladies will serve the
workers with good hot lunch at
noon and at supper, perhaps, and
withal it will be a great d;y fer
everyone
Concerning Dir. scoAille and his
place in the world of religious af-
fairs, too much cannot be said. He
bears the highest endorsements of
the foremost denominational leaders
OF the day as a sane and practical
evangelist. AS an organizer, he is
the peer of Sunday as a preacher,
the American pulpit has no greater;
as a scholar, the Scoville Gross Ref
erence Bible, so we'll known among
religious workers, is perhaps his
! best recommendation.
With him are five others: Mrs.
Arlene DuN Scoville, soloist, pianist
and superintendent of girls and
young women's work; Lawrence A.
Arlander, musical director and
cornetist; Mrs. Helen Arlander,
young people, and personal work
er; and A. l.. Haley, childrens
worker, assistant musical director
and trombonist. Miss Fannie Fran
els Is secretary.
He is now in the closing days
of a campaign at Okmulgee, Okla
homa, where almost 1000 people
have responded to the message OF
the gospel. At Akron, Ohio, there
were 5l24; at Bartlesville, Okla
homa, 2306; Melbourne, Australia,
1000; Keokuk, Iowa, 364O; En-
porla, Kansas, 4l17 Jefferson,
City, Missouri, 4l5O; Pueblo, Col
orado, 4175. Other meetings in
New York, Chicago, Cleveland,
Pittsburg, Minneapolis, Kansas
City, Little Rock, Billings, Port
land, Spokane and world-tour
in 1912 speak in more eloquent
terms of his success than anything
: else and we are counting upon the
most wonderful religious awaken
ing our community has ever known
, when he reaches us. Watch the
papers and posters for further an
