THE IM By Far the Largest Assemblage 1 Yet Seen AT THE TABERNACLE SUNDAY ; A Most Remarkable Religious Meet ing in Every Way —Good Preach in* Fine Attention. The great tebernacle ’9Ol closed last Sunday nfght. u The meeting wae\ success. The preaching was as able and impressive as is ever heard by a like gathering, the at tention was all that could be des ired and serious thought arose and solemn resolutions were formed and professions made that will re sult in permanent good in a reli gious way. In our last issue we told of the progress of the meeting up to Wed nesday night. Thursday Dr. Len G. Broughton, pastor of Taber nacle Baptist church, in Atlanta, who is so prominently known for his couiageous and caustic war fare on all kinds of sins, preached at the morning service. His ser mon was a strong one and was lis tened to with much interest by the large crowd present. Rev. G. R. Stuart, who preach ed with such fervor and rendered such valuable aid in the first days of the meeting, left for his home at •Cleveland Thursday. Thursday afteruoon Dr. Monk .preached one of his characteristical ly able sermons, but Friday after noon what was universally pro nounced by those who heard it one THE NEWS AND COURANT. of the grandest sermons ever heard in this section was delivered by this profound, scholarly, loyable and consecrated divine. It was on “Man’s Duty to God” and gave a never-fading picture of man’s rela tion to the higher power auu the need of obedience and deyotion to duty, from the mightiest to even the most trifling essentials. Friday night the “blacksmith preacher,” as he is called, Rev. Sexton, of Knoxville, gave one of his interesting talks. He took some part in each service from the j time he came, and his religious' fervor gpd homespun remarks that seeded froih a true heart car ried force with them and were al ways impressive. Rev. Sam Jones gave a short discourse at this service and was tiJtenVdto with the usual deep in t"£restP / h ; Saturday morning was the great childrens’ service, conducted by R. B. Reppard, the great Sunday school man of Savannah. It was certainly an inspiring scene to wit ness the hundreds of children as sembled and with bright sunny faces listening to words of encour agement and advice on the line of a pious life and these illustrated by dumb blackboard exercises. Mr. Reppard is of a most gifted and successful entertainers of chil dren. 1 A large audience assembled at the tabernacle last Friday morning —educational day—promptly at 10:30 a. m. Prof. E. C. Branson, president of Georgia State Nor mal school began his interesting address as to the needs for manual training in our schools. Hands as well as hearts and heads of pupils should be trained, so that life work may be entered upon with the as surance of the knowledge in pos session, to be put into it, to win the greatest success. His remarks were well received and caused the parents present to think of their A GREAT SHAKE UP IN SHOES. Never was the line as large or as well made.

The speaker ; explained why the idea of a model j school originated and what was the aim of those so warmly inter ested in the organization aud main- 1 tenance of such schools. Rev. Sam P, Jones followed in ; commendation of the “model school” idea, considered it a great advance over present methods. He urged the people to see to the edu cation of their children. In clos- J iug he stated that when the call for funds for the model school was made, he desired to take a hand. State School Commissioner Glenn failed to meet with the people, on this day doubtless some good rea son existed for his non appearance. At eleven o’clock Rev. Len G. Broughton, of Atlanta, preached a very powerful sermon. The climax in attendance was reached Sunday, aud indeed, the > crowd was, without doubt, the larg- j est in the history of these services, j reaching over a period of sixteen years. Early in the morning peo ple from the country, and from many miles in all directions began to come in iu vehicles, and the first train on the East and West came in at 9:30, and followed by the oth er trains, and a vast multitude of people were on the grounds before the preaching hour. Vehicles and stock were thick, ki tfie woods west of the tacernacle for nearly a quar ter of a mile. The trains came in jammed with people. The East and West ran a train in at 9:30 from Cedartown, which was fol lowed by a train through from Pell City at 10. The Cedartown train went back to Aragon and returned with a full load. Besides the reg ular train south, a special was run from Rome and both these trains were packed, The regular from Atlanta was packed as was also a special. On this train run by San ford Vandivere there were 1000 THE GREATEST LINE OF CLOTHING— Men and Boys.

The tab ernacle was filled long belore time for the 11 o’clock service and the j grounds were covered thickly with | people who could not get seats. The most conservative estimates place the crowd at 10,000 people while some estimates went as high as 15,000. A noticeable thing about the crowd was the extreme good order. ! We heard a minister long in ser vice say that it was the largest re- \ ligious gathering he ever saw and the best behaved big crowd, and made the statement a basis for a fine compliment on the orderly bearing of the people of this sec tion. Sam Jones was veritably at his best on Sunday morning. He preached from the text “What I Have Written I Have Written” — John 19-22. It was his well known sermon he has preached a number of times before on “Conscience and Record,” and the earnestness and fervor he threw into his delivery enchained his vast throng of hear ers until his last word. It was evident when he had' finished that his sermon had had a deep effect. At the service on Saturday morn ing Mr. Jones made reference to the nation’s great calamiiy, the death of the president, and named Judge Jchn Akin, Judge A. W. Fite and Dr. W. I. Benham as a committee to draft suitable resolu tions expressive of the deep sor row felt. Before the great throng Sunday morning Judge Akin read the res olutions prepared which were lis tened to with solemn attention and were adopted by a rising vote. The resolutions were as follows: “This vast congregation of thou sands of southern men, women and children, assembled this Sabbath morning in the Sam Jones taber nacle at Cartersville, Ga., for di vine worship conducted by that eminent southern evangelist, does WAIST FLANNELS.

A world bows grieving at his bier, and angels pause in their celestial flight aboye his sleeping dust. “His gentleness softened, his in tellect brightened, his heart mel lowed, his Christianity illumined. Peace to his illustrious ashes! “At the feet of Columbia,mourn ing because he is not, we lay this tribute of our hearts.” Rev. Baseom Anthony, of Saym; nah, preached Sunday afternoon. Sunday night Sam Jones preach ed the closing sermon of the meet ing. It was a feeling discourse and listened to with good attention. Sunday morning and Sunday night he preached from the same texts and the same sermons that he did sixteen years ago the day Sam Small was converted. At all the services invitations were extended to all to come to the altar who wanted to lead bet ter lives and these calls were al ways responded to by many per sons. On some propositions the whole assemblage seemed moved and gave manifestations of the deep feelings they experienced. A number of conversions resulted and a number of those experiencing changes joined some one of the churches. OAMTORZA.
