SUNDAY NIGHT TABERNACLE SERVICE GREATEST OF THE ENTIRE: CAMPAIGN IN

SPLENDID RESULTS

After speaking at great length the evangelist said: "I don't know that I ought to speak any longer," but the audience shouted, "Go on." "Well, if I go on I shall have to take off my coat," said the speaker, removing his coat. At the close he asked all who were willing to stand for the right to come to the front and all that could get anywhere near the front responded to the invitation.

Heard By Hundreds In Afternoon, Liquor Business Given a Terrible Airaicnment By Evangelist Hall. Special Delegallons Will Attend

Tills Week.

The greatest meeting of the campaign at the tabernacle occurred Sunday evening when fifty people walked boldly to the front and publicly made known their decision to begin a Christian life. It was a thrilling scene that stirred the audience deeply. The tabernacle was filled to its capacity and the sermon by Evangelist Hall on the text, "What Shall I Do With Jesus?" was most impressive. At the close Mr vom Bruch sang the solo, "The Promise Made to Mother," and when Evangelist Hall gave the invitation young men, young women and adults of all ages went forward to manifest their decision to live a Christian life.

The afternoon meeting was also a great meeting and the attendance was large in spite of the weather. Miss Corps sang a solo written by Mr. Carr, the pianist, entitled, "The Flag Without a Stain," which was heartily applauded. The address of tSie evangelist was on the same topic and the speaker gave a remarkable plea for the abolition of the liquor traffic that aroused the enthusiasm of the audience to the highest pitch.

INDUED CUD LOADS HORSES FOR EDRDPE

Passed Over Greenfield Branch of Pennsylvania Road In Week. Continued Drain Will Test

Resources.

It is reported that 100 car loads of cavalry horses passed through Greenfield over the Pennsylvania Railroad last week on their way East for use in the European war. No one comprehends the great drainage of the United States which has already set in, due to the international conflict iti progress in Europe. If one branch of one railroad is shipping 100 car loads of horses per week, and other branches are doing something like the same business, and all the branches of all the roads are doing a similar business, an idea can be had of the great number of horses which are being taken out of the country. There are other United States products for which there is sure to be a great demand. The cessation, so to speak, of production in several of the great European nations, and the great destruction and waste in those nations, due to war, will make a demand for food supplies never witnessed before in the civilized world. The United States is in the best position of any nation in the world to meet that demand. The devastation and depletion has been such and still continues to such an extent that it will take a generation to restore to normal conditions. Even if the war were to close ijow, the resources of the United States would be tested to the limit to supply the foreign demand. The American farmer and the American manufacturer are blind to their opportunities if they do not bestir themselves in anticipation of the demand. The farmer has the greatest opportunity for profits that he has ever enjoyed.

New says even if the war closes soon that the business of the United States will be unprecedented. He is thoroughly in favor of the United States establishing a merchant marine to take care of her oceanic commerce. He says that is the thing above all other things, that the government should do at once.
