Baptist Tabernacle. .
/. Announcement is made that a
mass meeting will be"]held Sunday
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock at the city
auditorium, at which Dr. G. Camp

that promises to be notwithstanding
in size. Six years ago when DR..
Morgan preached at the auditorium,
over 5000 people were turned away.
1t was estimated that the gather
ing was the largest in the history
Of Atlanta.
2. DR.. Len G. Broughton, who ar
rived in Atlanta Monday and who
made his first appearance before the
conference Monday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock, will continue to speak at that
hour until the close of the conference
Sunday night. His subject will be
1.-THE Holy Spirit
8. The director of the conference,
Rev. John w. Ham, emphasizes the
fact that never in the twenty years
of the conference have crowds been
so large, but that free-wi1l offerings
upon which the conference depends
to meet expenses have not been ade-
quate. 1.-THE conference is not I'M
derWritten or guaranteed in any
way" he said Monday night. 1--WE
are dependent entirely on the colIec-
tions taken three times each day.
These have not been large enough so
far to keep pace with the expenses of
the conference" ...s.%r o&1 4ys-.

to care for the crowds.

large congreg lions. An equal, or ar
even greater attendance is expect
ed Tuesday afternoon, particularly
at services at $3.50 o'clock at which
DR.. Broughton will continue his
series of sermons on the Holy
Spirit
DR.. G. Campbell Morgan preached
Monday night to an audience that
filed the main floor and the first gal
lery.
He took as his text the forty
eighth chapter and the fifth verse
of Matthew: eye shall, therefore, be
perfect even as your Father which
is in heaven is perfect" and the
tenth verse, nineteenth chapter Of
Luke: 1.-The Son of Man is come tt

The passage from Matthew, hi
| said is the ultimate word in thu

Luke is the ultimate word in thu

| DR.. Morgan, speaking of the eff

| passion for giving. Jesus is no

Start1es Audience
For a moment DR.. Morgan startled
his audience when he said; arch
| bishop MCGEE once declared that the
British Empire couldn't be run By
the Sermon on the Mount, and the
British Christian press howled a.
him for six months. But that was
because they didn't get the rest Of

Archbishop, because the British En-
