TABERNACLE PLAN
Dr. Broughton Pears Other
Enterprises May In
terfere.
A remarkable scene occurred In the
Raptlsi Tabernacle Sunday night,
when Dr.'Len O. Broughton told his
congregation that failure for llie new
tubeniHcle stared them In the face.
Dr. Broughton was moved to tears
ns lie told of the radlng of hla dream,
and his congregation wept with him.
The launching of hospital plans by
Iralli the Presbyterians and Methodists
Imposed demands of nearly a million
dollars on Atlanta, and even the won
derful liberality of thlB city could not
stand such a drain.
“Somebody has got to be crushed,"
said Dr. Broughton, “and as we are the
weakest I am fearful our great hope*
are gone."
As he told of his ftars the congrega
tion wept In sympathy, but as they
have already given to their utmost they
roukl offer no material consolation. Dr.
Broughton told of the yonderfu! begin
ning made In talslng the necessary
money. Then, the trouble began.
He approached' a prominent Pres
byterian. who said that hla denomina
tion was going to erect a >250.000 hos
pital und he would have lo help them.
Tlien came the gift of 150.000 from Asa
Candler for a new Wesley Memo
rial church and hospital combined, the
gift contingent upon raising >100,000
In the city.
All these great projects were too
severe a drain on the city, and some of
them must fall. To assure the Baptist
Tabernacle It Is necessary to secure
>110,000 of the amount In Atlanta.
When that waa raised >150,000 Would
be given from the outside—but not un
til then.
In dosing Ills talk, Dr. Broughton
said:
"My brethren, unless we can do this
thing, unless we can get >50,000 within
the nest few days, there Is no use of
our going lo further expense, letting go
the money that has already been sub
scribed. There Is no use in wasting
time thinking of plans and the like of
that that has already almost brought
some of us to our graves, unless we

There’s a lot more to Silk Petticoat selling than admiration of knife plaited flounces and ruffles edged
with cute little fillings, quillings and ruchings. More than pretty colored silks with a sheen that changes
from pale pink to apple green at every fold. Yes, indeed; there’s more. Suppose we hadn’t been wide
awkae to the situation some months ago. Suppose we hadn’t known what advance after advance in the
silk market would mean in silk petticoats. Why simply this: You would be paying 10.00 for skirts
that hou can get today at 7.50. And the 5.00 petticoats would be a lot less worthy, or, if they were up in
quality they would have to be less in quality instead of full liberally cut skirts. But* we thought ahead.
And the result? There could be butone. Plenty of silk petticoats; plenty of patterns and colors to
oosech from and—values.
