I
women in the big choir, Come down and
join your husband, he is here"
A large woman walked rapidly from
her place in the choir and took her posi-
ton by the side of her husband.
yates hand played a part in the serv-
ices
The evangelist, calling out a name,
said, "She Is wanted home at once. Her
father is dying"
Tenderly, the evangelist said, 1.-THE final
call may come any hour to some one here.
Are you prepared?"
In speaking Of the close Of the first
week of his campaign, Gypsy Smith said
that the first week of the Indianapolis
campaign is the biggest in the history Of
his work. More than 1000 accepted the
Christ last week and more than 1900
took the decisive step yesterday after
noon al the mems meeting and at the
night sermon.
! COME TO HEAR
| THE BABBLE.
The evangelist indicated at the begin
ming of his sermon that he was going TO
talk straight from the shoulder and use
palmer words than he ever has during
/ this campaign.
You are not here because you hate
sin" he declared. You are not here be
cause you love Jesus. You are curious.
you have come to hear the babble. Things
Of God don't come into your lives. You
don't care whether you have a soul or
not. You think only of the things you
can eat and enjoy. You love the things
that don't count. The things you are
concerned with are clothes. food and
N,,T. L
not eternity.
I'VE are all for the jazz, the giggle
and on the everlasting go. We decorate,
we powder and we paint corpse and
forget the sOul--the thing that will live.
I'VE don't think for ourselves. Wait
until God lifts the bandages from your
eyes and you will have plenty Of time to
think, and I pray that it viii not be too
late. God hasn't any place in your
prayers.
why do you wait until the coffin
comes until you call God. Why didn't
you send for him on your wedding day =?
Why didn't you call him when the
cradle was fxed7
q pray with all the intensity of my
being that you will wake up to the
| things that count. Begin to care. Be
gin to pray"
/ Measuring every word and talking
/ slowly. Gypsy Smith said, az he pointed
warning finger, Jesus will hold you
responsible for your own damnatiOn be-
cause He has made the way so gloriously
possible for you to accept Him. You
don't care for His day because you treat
1t like any other day. You don't read
/ Els book.
You can't treat Jesus badly without
cost to yourself. Sin first of all takes
away the desire for Jesus. Jesus hash
place in your home. He never sits at
/ your table. You never have a chair for
Him. You poor wretch, you have for
gotten Him. He is out of your life. What
are you going to do when death comes?
Who is going to lift you over the valley?
/ Once more you have had Jesus Christ
forced upon your intelligence. / am
talking of the Christ that some of your
/ loved ones who have died, loved and
trusted. You saw the love light in their
/ eyes and you promised to meet them
yesterday and how will you live tomor-
row in face Of what l have said7
You don't hear his songs. All you
/ hear is jazz. I don't know where we
are going unless some one stops us in
! Gods name. Nations and people bigger
Pfhan you and 1 have gone to ruin be-
cause Jesus was shut out"
| Then. in speaking Of himself the evan
! gelist said, Put me down as a raver.
| IL you desire Call me an enthusiast In
| your vulgarity call me a ranter or
raver, but for the sake of Christ, pray.
/ II you do that l viii not care what
| you say about me-"
APPEALS
TO MOTHERS.
/ Continuing he said. "Some of you
mothers are more concerned with the
! cut of your new gown than you are
/ with your souls. Mothers, your chill
dren will grow up Goddess.
/ IF all the people of indianapolis would
| give the sermon on the mount a square
/ deal for twenty four hours, Indiana polls
would have the millennium. Care as
much about your city as l do l am
| giving my life blood and 1 don't live
/ here"
! The evangelist told of a woman whose
business was the lowest possible-that
OF selling herself to men, protecting
an innocent gbrf who had fallen into
| a house Of shame, and guarding her
/ through the night so no harm could
come to the girl and then taking the
/ girl In the morning to a minister.
| THAT poor harlot was doing the work
of the cross cried Gypsy Smith. "She
cared for some one. What hours, what
/ money, what social entertainment have
/ you sacrificed to bring some one to
Christi"
Yesterday afternoon Gypsy Smith spoke
| to an audience of men who packed every
} inch of space in the big tabernacle. A
meeting for women was held at the same
hour at Roberts Park NJ. E. Church. \
Last night services were held in 100
Of the 40 churches which are supporting.
