EVANGEL|ST'S PLEA
/ ST|RS BIG THRONC
Rev. Burke CuIpepper Makes
Record Conversion Enroll
ment at Mt. Vernon Church.

preaching before congregation OF
1900 people at the Mount Vernon
Place Methodist Episcopal Church South
last night and abandoning his at
tackS. some humorous and some serl-
Gus. upon styles and amusements of
modern days, Rev. Burke Culpepper,
evangelist. made stirring appeal TO
the conscience of his huge congrega-
ton. When he issued an invitation
for all present to join the church. he
received total of conversions sur
passing any heretofore recorded at a
revival at that church.
More than a hour before the time
for starting the evening service the
people began to gather. BY 1880
o'clock every seat was taken and
there was an overflow of people into
the music room. Hundreds more lined
up along the walls. BY 7:45 o'clock
not a bit of available space was left,
and many late arrivals We're forced
to turn away without gaining admit
tance Officials of the church who
were at the doors estimated that
seven or eight hundred persons were
unable to gain admission.
Text for Minister'S Discourse.
Taking as his text the 30th to the
32d verses of the 18th chapter of
Matthew, he warned his congregation
to beware of blasphemy against the
Holy Spirit.
Relating incident after incident
which had come to his attention, in
which tragedy had followed swiftly
upon the heels of hlasphemous at
tacks upon the Christian belief, he
warned his listeners that in the case
of decisions to accept or reject the
faith the decision was final. Those
who reject are surely doomed" he
warned, and wait only for death to
be damned. They will have no sec
ond chance. AS surely as you
blaspheme against the Holy Spirit
You have sealed your doom"
As he paced up and down the
platform, alternately pleading with
his listeners 70 decide and warning
them of their fate if they should
refuse to recognize Christ, the con-
greEation followed him intently and
kept him in view.
Finally reaching the end of the
sermon, he issued his invitation for
converts to come to the altar rail
as the choir sang. Slowly a few
struggled down and then more and
more, until a steady line was pass
ing down the main aisle. They came
from the main floor seats, from the
hundreds who lined the walls, from
the gallery and even from the choir
More than hundred all told, sig
n1fied their intention of becoming
members of the church.
During the entire service, which
lasted an hour and a half, not per-
son left, although some had been
standing for two hours
Mr.. Culpepper announced that during
the week and until the last service
next Sunday night every sermon will
be strictly gospel sermon, and at the
conclusion of each he will ask for con-
NertS. Next Sunday morning all those
who have made their pledges will be
admitted formally into membership in
the church.
Tonight he will preach on the ques-
tion, rs There Hell?"

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The an
nual report of the congregational
churches of the United States has
just been made public. A summary
made by Rev. Charles +. Burton,
the secretary, shows a notable tend
ency towards ''fewer churches but

or merged into churches of other
denominations. Property values have
increased by 2,461, bringing it
up to $132, ,3S8,237. Invested funds
of the churches amount to $lj,343,-
94S, being an increase of $842, $50
in the year.
The annual budget of the churches
reporting amount TO $l8,26l ,691,
which is $1,479,936 more than the
preceding year. This does not in
clude the benevolences of the
churches, which total $780, ,l81, or

Mrs. Tee-Van said the river,
which was the only bathing place
contained electric .eels six feet
long. Nobody happened to step on
one. The collecting nets, he said,
frequently brought in specimens of
man-eating fish. " These fish,
which are littIS more than a

DAVIS PLANS TO
USE RADIO 10
A LARGE EXTENT

NEW YORK, Aug. Having
begun the task of completing hIS
campaign organization, John W.
Davis, Democratic presidential no
minee, today planned TO appoint re-
gional directors for the Chicago
and San Francisco offices of the
campaign committee and chairman
of the finance committee.
Davis had no engagements today
except with Glen Shaver, his cam
paign manager. Tho candidate may
see Gov. Alfred Il. Smith of New
York this afternoon and again urge
him to head the Democratic ticket
in the Empire State.
Gov. Smith has peen ON yacht
ing trip but is expected back today
and Davis wants to settle the New
York governorshiT question as
quickly IS possible.
Other questions for his campaign
which will be settlal very shortly
by Davis is the use of radio. Davis
has an idea radio will be his great
est aid in reaching the largest mum
Der of people. Two plans have been
suggested to him. One is that
hroadc&sting his remarks from eve
ry city in which he speaks.
The first plan practically has
been eliminated because It was
found the cost of installing broad
casting apparatus wouldbe much more
than had been estimated and that it
would be impossible to reach more
than comparatively small audience
in the east and north owing to the
prohibitive cost of cutting in relay
broadcasting stations.
The second plan will certainly be
used to q large extent. In that
way, Davis will not only spread him
self all over the country but his
views will go ito larger audience.
