Young Peoples Night
Proves a Big Sue
cess at Revival
TABERNACLE IS FILLED
Eighty-Eight Decisions
For Christ Are
Expressed

ernacle proved great success last
night, the big building being comfor-
tably filled when Rev. Bob Johnson
took his text. The crowd would have
been unable to get into the building
had not the additions been made.
The procession formed at the Bap-
tist church, marched by the Methodist
church and by the time it reached the
Presbyterian church was several
blocks long. AS it made its progress
down Lemon street, singing, it made
an impressive sight. High school stu
dents and teachers had decorated the
tabernacle for the event and exhibited
wonderful spirit in cooperating with
the evangelist. The Palatka band
also added much to the procession by
playing as the marchers, headed by
the Boy Scouts, proceeded on their
way. At the tabernacle the high
school sang and the orchestra played
a selection.
Prof. Taylor sang ~ walked and
l talked with the King" The evan
gelist spoke from the scripture, Ere
member now thy creator in the days
of thy youth while the evil days come
not and the years draw near when
thou shalt say l have no pleasure in
them." Eccl. 12:1.
Mr.. Jornson said i'm substance. The
Bible is the only book that makes jro-
vision for the young people. The
scripture tells us, the streets of the
city shall be full of boys and girls
playing in the street thereof" Zech-
ariah 8:15-. Jesus said, "Suffer little
chuldren and forbid them not to come
unto me: for such is the Kingdom of
heaven" Matt. 1914. God has a
watch care of children. His guardian
angels care for children.
During a cyclone three little child
rem were sleeping a ndthe bed on
which they lay was carried out into
the field and never walked the child
rem. A professional burglar was con-
verted in meeting and told Mr..
johnson that when he and pal went
to rob a house while the family were
at church he found little child
asleep in the house and they left every
thing as a professional would not rob
where children were in the home. A
small boy led man and woman to
Christ when finally the man said ]
will if mother will and they went to-
gether. He was an attorney. He
asked for cass in Sunday school. He
was made chief usher and soon be-
came most popular as hand shaker.
He introduced new financial system
which added greatly to the finances of
the church. He served only about
three years before God took him but
he left great record. This was the
result of boys effort for Christ.
A father who had just returned
from a trip sat with his little boy in
his lap. The boy and his mother had
been attending a meeting. The boy
said, Papa, will you go with me and
mamma to Christ and to heaven?"
This reached the fathers heart. If
these boys in Palatka would give
themselves to Jesus it would mean
more for Palatka than anything else
they could do. Christ at the last day
will not ask if you are college grad
uate but have you surrendered to
Christ and served him. You notice
you never see an ad in the paper,
''Wanted an old man or lady" 1t is
the young men and boys that are
wanted. You must serve others. A
lionel ygirl said to her mother, "Ma-
ma, no one cares for me-" Said the
mother, "Why should they as you
show no interest an other people.
The girl changed her attitude and
found happiness and useful life.
A rich man was wanted as a wit.
ness in an important case and he did
not want to testify. The sheriff
watched for him so that if he got Out
for fresh air he had to disguise. Mer
may try to hide from God.
