LARGE CROWDS THROSG TABEK-

Places In hearts of la Graudi
eharch people '' ' '
La Grande Oregon
The big' evangelical campaign fo
which several churches have b ?ei
working and looking; .forward to, .!,
on. ' . '
The tabernacle was In reader?'
for the first meeting which was 'c V
Saturday - night, and the many w
prior to this assemMq" though
was entirely too large, realized tV
before the meetings are over tV'
many will be turned away.
La Grande certainly : has man
sweet singers. The opening chorur
comprised no less, than 150 voice
the first evening, under the direction
of Mr, Charles Gray Silled the vas'
auditorium with melody and Christ'ar
Inspiration Mr. Gray not only un
derstands music, but human nature
and has the happy faculty of leader
ship that Is essential In his line of
work. After the choir paved th'
way and the large audience caugh
the spirit. .The song service that
followed was . unlike, anything that
had ever taken place in La Grand1
heretofore. Mr. Gray then sang p
solo. To the majority o fthe orowc?
present this was their first opportu
nity, to hear him. ; As his sweet, train
ed voice filled the auditorium In ev
ery nook and corner, one and all
were Impressed that he was answer
ing and fulfilling a call to unlift hu
manity. . '.
Evangelist Johnson
Evangelist Johnson, of whom the
workers are expecting great things,
naturally were anxious to hear him
for the first time.
He made no attempt at oratory but
the burden of his talk and thought
was that these meetings were not
J'ohnson'B meetings and that without
the prayer and co-operation of the
members of the churches little could
be expected, but with their coopera
tion and sacrifices nothing was Im
possible. His sermons Saturday ev
ening, Sunday morning, afternoon and
evening were all taken with the spir
it Not the big "I" but the Import
ance of the Individual Christian work
er.
He Injects amusing stories to dem
onstrate his great truths, and many
times during each service waves of
laughter and mirth swept over the
faces of the multitude Rev. Johnson
already has Impressed the leaders
that no mistake was made in calling
him here. His many years of success
ful work gives him confidence and
tact First of all you are imme
diately Impressed that he Is not here
simply to entertain, which he does,
however, but that he Is here to do
you good personally. This spirit Is
naturally more readily noticed In his
personal Influence direct with the
general committee, but It will perme
ate the entire city before many more
meetings have been concluded.
Sunday Morning
At 9:45 the tabernacle was filled
with the sunny brightness from the
outside as well as from the bright
eyes and inspiration of youth from
the 400 or more members of the Bap
tist Methodist and Presbyterian Sun
day schools. While. It was delightful
to Bee this great sea of faces and
hear them In song, It was decided
that hereafter the schools would meet
In their own churches as usual, as
the novelty and lack of special prep
aration destroys the effectiveness of
the lesson.' However, ; before the
meetings are over there will undouht
edly be another union of the schools
and others.
Tabernacle Dedicated
At 10:30 hundreds began pouring
In and after the 1000 or mors were
seated and the choir, assisted by the
congregation, sang several selections
Judge Lowell ot Pendleton, who is
no stranger to La Grande audiences,
delivered the dedicatory address, not
as a minister hut as a businesses an.
For Quite an hour Judge Lowell beau
tifully reviewed- the premises" oC
Christianity. Those who heard him;
111 always be glad" they were fortu .
late enough to be present and those
.vho were not may never know what:
they missed. Judge Lowell is one'
if Oregon's foremost orators, and isi
videly knrwn fir his patriotic, and.
Christian sentiments; which he freely
expresses. At the conclusion of the
services hundreds shook hands wlthi
him and extended their appreciation..
Following Judge Lowell, Evange
Mst Johnson spoke for 'about' 20 mln
Kes, .This was the. largest audience
to far he had had the pleasure of
neetlng, the ushers estimating It at
looo. : '.'"f'.-'r' ;
Sunday Afum on
This service, while naturally not
io well attended gave the 500 pres
ent' an opportunity to more closely
'tudy the -evangelist, whose Intense?
nrnestness was , Impressed. He is
'ot hre touring the coast but he
'eels that he has a meRssee to de
"tvpr to everyone In La Trend. He?
uiiHfj no one, nis sweet ;irlt wilr
oermeate this 'entire vicinity during
the next few days and his first re
mark after - entering the tabenacler
was, "I do not know But I efar it la:
not large enough,"
. Sunday Evening.
Commencing at 7 o'clock the choir
sang several selections and it is al
realy an accepted fact that music lss
to be the great feature of every ser
vice. Yesterday Director Gray nur-
prised the audience by asking then
ta whistle the chorus while the choir
sang. No doubt many could whlstli
but their first attempt was a mighty
feeble whistle. Then he reversed tha
condltlons and asked the choir to
whistle, which they did and the war
they whistled will never he appre
ciated until you hear It Last even
ing, however, when the audience was;
askel to whistle, it showed a marked
Improvement and before the meetings
dose this undoubtedly will be a
whistling town.
By far the largest audience wit
nessed the evening service. '
Rev. Johnson snok nn "hnm tj
uruuuo nngni noi nave a revival."
This sermon was In line with his
other. He is Blmply getting th
Christian people prepared for the
work, not by holding up their faults
and lambasting them for their short
comings but on pointing out. to them
what they must do in the way of per
sonal work and prayer.
, How lie Is Pali
In speaking of some . objections
sometimes presented against revi
vals he" mentioned the fact that the
evangelists took so much money out
of the city. In response to this ar
gument be cited the fact that In his
correspondence with the eommitteei
that brought him here, not one word
was spoken about money. He had
not a contract for one dollar or any
stipulated amount and since his ar
rival there has not been a single
remark made about what he or his
party were to receive. At the close
of the meetings ther will be a spec
ial collection taken for this purpose
and whatever it Is will be the amount
the party Is to receive.
.. Tuesday night Next
During the meetings, Monday will
be rest day. No services In the tab
ernacle on' Monday. Every night In
the week except Monday.
The Babies Cared For
The general committe has secured
the lecture room in the Baptist church
Just across the street from the taber
nacle, which will be kept warm af
ternoo and evening with experienced
persons in charge to take care of ba
bies and little children where moth
ers may leave them knowing that
they will be properly cared for
while they are attending the meeting.
This gives the mothers an opportu
nity to attend the service and pre
cludes the meetings being disturbed.
Train Buns Into Load of Ore.
while driving Into town Monday
with a load of ore from the mines
A. A. Fiddler met with an accident
that might have resulted more ser
iously than It really did, says the
Haines Record. In crossing the rail
road near the McKanna place the
front runners balked on the track.
Seeing that.' passenger train' No. 6
was approaching Mr. Fiddler un
hitched the eteam and ran down the
track and flagged the train. The en
gineer did not heed the warning and
under full speed the engine struck
the front end ot the sled, and sacks
of ore were scattered in every direction.
