Large Tabernacle Unable to
Hold the Crowd at Sunday
Nights Service

Sunday was II big day al the tv-
angclstic Tabernacle meetings. A
day dawn meeting had been announc-
ed to begin at O'Clock Sunday morn
ing, and while fair-sized crowd
was expected. no one was looking
for as many people as actually came,
for nearly 200 people were at the
tabernacle at that early hour for
meditation and prayer. All who
came pronounced that service one of
the best, if not the best, Of this
campaign.
Sunday evening the great taberna
Gle was not only crowded to capac-
ity but many turned away. unable to
find room. Prof. Crow Of New York
City, who was expected Saturday eve
ming but met with delay. reached Bis
marck yesterday morning and was in
troduced to the audience. Rev. James,
in introducing him, remarked that
the professor is one of the greatest
pianists in the country and an out
standing tenor sOlOist. whose teacher,
Prof. Siegel, of New York, expects
him to be second Caruso.
Prof. Crow played the accompani-
mcnt t6 6Tthc song numbers on the
baby grand. while Mrs. Hughes play
ed on the upright piano. He also
rendered a tenor solo number. Com
fort Ye Ny People, from Handel's
Messiah, which was received with
great enthusiasm.
The Sermon
The evangelist spoke on the text
found in Mum. 1928, "Be sure your
sin will find you out" He began by
saying: 1--WE arc living in days Of
uncertainty and great perplexity.
do not think that any of us have ever
witnessed more trying times than
We are witnessing just now. Great
questions are hanging before US;
questions of international, national,
social, domestic, educational spiritual
and financial character. w" can
talk about the League Of Nations
whether it be right or be wrong, we
sands for our Peace Conferences,
there is no peace for the wicked. and
form of Government is righteous
ness. and we cannot have righteous
ness without God, and we cannot
have God without Jesus Christ, for
Christ has said no man cometh unto
the Father but by me.
"The only hope for America is,
back to her knees. back to her Bible,
back to her God" he shouted with
dramatic force and earnestness.
"Whatever the uncertainties Of life
may be ! am going to talk to you
about something that is absolutely
sure; your sins will find you out
Il am more afraid Of sin than Of
all the malignant diseases combined,
for small poX. scarlet fever, infantlie
paralysis, spinal menengitis and
other diseases can at worst, wreck
only the body, while sin ruins the
body and damns the SOUL" he de-
clared.
Human Law Imperfect
"Be sure your sins will find you
out in the execution of the human
law. Our human law is more or less
imperfect. l don't mean to say that
every thief has been found out,
don't mean to say that every murder
err has been brought to justice, but
it is startling how few criminals go
through their lifetime breaking the
laws Of the state without being
brought to time for the deeds COM
mitted.
"Be sure your sins will find you
out in the execution of the physical
law. You sin against your body and
you will pay for it as sure as you
are born.
"Be sure your sins will find you
out in your children. The chances
are that your children will be just
like the daddy or the nanny. How
are you going to get around it?
When you sow wheat you reap wheat,
when you plant potatoes, you reap
potatoes. Whatsoever a man soweth
that shall he also reap. A home isn't
home without God. ! believe with
Coolidge that the only hone for this
Government is for the fathers and
mothers of our day to get back to
the devotion of our forefathers."
He closed with vivid portrayal
of the great Judgment Day to which
all paths lead and which no one can
escape, and appealed to all to flee to
Christ, the only hope and refuge Of
the soul.
