A good-sized audience had to perch on automobiles, eta, around the outBide of the tent, for the reason 1 bat no more room was available on the inside. Howover, the sides of the tent were kept raised for two-thirds of the way around, permitting a clear view of the platform which held about 100 singers, orchestra, etc. The closing service was well attend ed by the members from the local First Baptist church the Sundny evening . service being suspended to give its members an opportunity to '. attend which they evidently did. . It wsb learned through statements . made by the director and evangelist, Orville Benbam, that tho Eugene re- . viva! campaign has been a marked auccess In every way, which wns veri fied in part, at least, by the crowded altar and the space set apart at the rear of the platform for those, it was learned, who desired a closer walk " with God. A delegation came over from Cor '. vallls on Saturday to attend the clos ing services and also to invite the - Young Men Musical Evangelists, as they call themselves, to pitch their ' tent in that city and "carry on," "Uncle Billy,' as he is generally . known, waa with the delegation and gave a spirited testimony regarding his conversion through street ser vice in Portland having been literally raised from the gutter, he aald.
