AT TABERNACLE IS
STILL ON INCREASE
Record Congregations
Attend Big Meetings
on Sunday
CAPACITY BEING TAXED
Tabernacle A editions
Were Not Finished
Too Soon

Evidence of continued increase in
spiritual fervor and individual inter-
est in the big revival meeting at the
tabernacle was apparent at the serv-
ices held Sunday, especially at the
meetings held for women only and for
men only.
At the tabernacle Sunday morning
Rev. Bob Johnson preached one Of
the most powerful sermons he has
yet delivered, followed it UP with a
splendid talk at the meeting. for men
only IN the afternoon and at night
drove home another strong lesson.
In the afternoon the Presbyterian
church was filled with women to lis
ten to Miss Killian, following which
all repaired to the tabernacle for the
evening service. Mr.. johnson said, in
part:
GAS Jesus went into Jericho there
was man named Zacchaeus, who was
rich among the publicans. He was
short of stature and for the crowd
could not see Jesus, so he ran ahead
and climed tree that he might get
better view of the Savior. He was
man of Importance among the Jews,
! tax-gatherer, in fine a modern day
political CRATER, man to whom had
been sold the right of collecting tax
es, who was upheld in his eXtortions
by the agencies at the command of
the government. Yes, he wanted to
see Jesus. Jesus saw him in the tree
and called to him saying, make
haste and come down for l must abide
in thy house today"
There is and never has been any
mystery as to why Jesus came to this
earth, he came to seek and save the
sinner. If soul seeks after Jesus
he will be found Let each person adj
nit they are lost-know they rae lost
then will aid come quickly. When
the realization of loss comes to you
then it is time to refer to the Word
and be saved.
When you are skeptical of the word
of God be careful that you are not
wrong, for the error is irreparable
Believe in Gods word and hope
springs eternal. Though your sins
be as scarlet they shall be like
snow" The scarlet blood of Jesus
cleanses the black sin and leaves snow
white purity.
God is no respecter of persons,
what he has done for one he can do
for another. Sin and God do not go
together. Sin and its consequences
cannot be avoided by any means. A
man committed the terrible crime of
murder. For 30 years each night the
face of his victim haunted him, until
in despair he ended his life. Did he
by this act rid himself of the haunt
ing presence? God is on the track
of all, and before HIM an accounting
of each act must be given. Is there
any doubt but that this mans victim
will not haunt him through the cons
of time and all eternity? 1t is only
by confession and asking the mercy
of the Son of God that forgiveness
can be had and eternal peace reached.
1t takes real manly grit to walk the
streets of Palatka for God. Would
you rather hear the ratings of those
about you now or listen to the rail
ings of the damned through all eter-
nifty? Those that rail at you for ac-
cepthg God are your worst enemies
and the minions of the devil.
The Son of Man came to seek and
save those who were lost. Bamblers
heed. Though the slot in the table
so small you can push your fortune,
) your home, your children, your wife,
and yea your eternal soul. There is
only one case of gambling in the BIZ
= BILE, and that Is when the clothes OF
the Son of Man were gambled for al
the foot of the Cross.
That man who committed suicide
and left the doleful message, "Nc
rest, no hope, all is despair" wa:
i, unsaved and will be followed by tn,
consequences of his act through al
!, eternity. Can sadder conditions foi
Y the departure of man from this life b
conceived. You must give up sin o
