SUNDAY NIGHT GATHERING WAS
LARGEST DURING PRICE
CAMPAIGN
CROWD ARRIVES LONG
BEFORE THE HOUR SET
Greatest Religious Series in History
OF Ashland Ended After Four
Weeks; Evangelist Returns to
Home at Lodi, Calf.

The Acts OF the Apostles con-
tinued" has been the greatest thing
that has ever struck Ashland, social
ly, financially or religiously speak
ing. The apostles have gone, but
the spirit and power of these meet
ings that have just closed, will live
on throughout this generation, and
will echo away beyond, and cast
shadows a-down the history of Ash
land in years to come. All the serv-
ices have been filled with the illumi-
nation OF Gods glory through DR..
Price, and the effects have been
Priceless" in more ways than one
to us, our children, and to many
afar off, whom the Lord had called
to be in our midst.
Last night marked the close of the
campaign, and was the most largely
attended of any of the entire four
weeks of the meeting. An hour be-
fore the time 1e building was al
most full, and crowds kept coming,
until it was capacity house before
the service was over.
On Saturday afternoon, after a
testimony meeting, Miss Evelyn Car
veil delivered the message, DR.. Price
resting for the after-healing service.
The talk was mostly for children, as
it was children's healing day. She
took as her subject, "a fish story"
and illustrated plainly, so the small
est child could understand, that we
could be just little worms, our life
spent on hooks to catch and win
souls; that we, as worms, did not
catch the fish, but were just instru-
mental in the hook getting them.
About 100 children were prayed for.
One little girl with goitre was told
by DR.. Price that by morning the
goitre would be gone, and he called
the child to the platform both morn
ing and evening yesterday as a testi-
mony, where all could see 1t had
disappeared. One lady from Cor
wallis was the last in line TO be
healed, after the children, and the
power of the Lord fell on her so
great, she sat in her chair, scarcely
moving, from in the afternoon un-
til 10 o'clock at night, after the
services were over.
Saturday evening. DR.. Price was
greeted by large audience. The
meeting was opened by song, fol.
lowed by prayer by Rev. Hammond
of the Episcopal church; after which
a vocal duet was rendered by Mrs.
H. Galley and Percy Stratton. The
text taken for the evening was from
jeremiah, 18th chapter, verses 1 to
6, "The Potter and the Clay" DR..
Price expounded the word so clearly
as he preached the story. OF how
we are clay in the hands of the
Great Potter. All the grit and
stones of sin have to be removed,
and we have to be cleansed by being
washed in the blood of Jesus. Then
we are put on the geat wheel of life,
as the clay is put on the potter's
wheel, and as we revolve round and
round in our everyday life, If we go
slower than the mold on the wheel,
we fall off, and if we go faster, we
fall off. AS the clay has to stick
closely to the mold, so we have to
keep step with the great mold our
Master Potter has made for us. And
how each one of us should be con-
tent with the mold of our own ves-
sci. Some are big, some are frail,
and some are beautiful vessels In
Gods service. But when we are
tried in the furnace of fire. we all
come out beautiful vessels for use
in the Kingdom.
The Sunday morning sermon was
taken from Ezekiel, chapter "a, sub
ject. Shepherds False and True"
DR.. Price explained that Jesus always
was in existence. He came from the
Father, conceived by the Holy
Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary and
lived here among men. The three
dispensdtions. the Father as the
first, Jesus as the second. and after
the ascension, the Comforter or Holy
Spirit as the third. to dwell in our
hearts. And that Pentecost is an
experience through which we acquire
the Fruits OF the Spirit. The best
demonstration being the Gifts Of the
Spirit. which are wisdom. knowledge,
healing, prophecy. etc., none OF
which DR.. Price claims to have re-
ceived.
The subject for the afternoon was
