list, in his most aggressive ser
mon against vice and unbelief, drove

and young people came forward TO grasp
the right hand Of the speaker and de-
clared to live better lives than ever has
been done during the revival.

frances and took a seat on one Of the big
benches in the auditorium near one Of

instead OF to the big audience collective
". "Oh, you poor sinner" or "Oh,
you poor, misguided creature" he cried
out to the vast audience in an effort to
drive home his lesson OF repentance.
