already erected on the l0tS west
of the hotel, ready to start the
series of meetings Sunday night.
Arrangements for conducting the
campaign have been made in un-
usual detail and the following pub
licity articles have been prepared
and submitted for publication by
the various departments.
C. A. Carpenter, chairman of the
delegations committee states that:
A series of meetings, under the
leadership of Art Pope, will be
inaugurated January 1st and con-
tinue until this place shall know
indeed that there is a God to serve
and to whom service is due.
The main object of this move
ment is to get men and women
saved from their sins. A great
spiritual uplift, without sectorian
influence or domination. 1t is there
for right and proper and a natur-
al sequence that all worthwhile or
CARNATIONS should come into this
movement. lending cheer and sup
port as opportunity may offer.
Under the head of delegations,
sub-chairmen will afford contact
and give direction to every civic
oganization's support. The program
will unfold and be announced as
the meetings progress. We have
already promise of a real dele
cation from Walla Walla under
direction of Mr.. Davis. On another
occasion, special train of good
will, starting at Yakima and TAX
ing on recruits all down the line,
will roll into Kennewick. Chris
tians, to what organizations do
you belong? Will you, working
thru them, lay hold of a precious
privilege. discharge a sacred duty?
Conscience will direct, Eternity
will record your faithfulness.
Dale Smith, chairman of the
prayer meeting committee says: 1t
is not difficult to understand the
surge of admiration that swept
America when young Lindberg
(now Col. Lindberg), made his
Paris flight, but it is difficult to
explain the wave of prayer that
started and went with him. Com
menting on this, the Sunday School
Times says: perhaps the most
amazing thing about it was the
scene in the Yankee Stadium in
New York City when the announc-
er at a pugilistic event called up
on the crowd of over 10000 to
bow their heads one minute to
pray for Lindbergh. God used that
clean living young man, compar-
atively unknown, to confound ma
tions, break down prejudices, heal
wounds and promote friendly re-
lationship between England and
France and the United States"
Prayer is the privilege of every
man and it is our purpose to cover
Kennewick with a blanket of pray
er every morning at ten o'clock.
Homes will be thrown open for
this purpose in every precinct of
the city and everyone is invited to
participate in these prayer groups.
At GAS each evening, at the tab
ernacle, a mems prayer group will
meet as they did at Prosser. The
men are especially invited to these.
6:45 pm. meetings.

teers, the huge 80x90 foot taber-
nacle was erected in record time
