Many went as early as t o'clock In order to secure seats. Six services were held at the taber nacle on Sunday, and the auditorium was filled at every service. This con ference, with Its trained chorus.and visiting evangelists, has begun Ita se ries of services under the most auspi cious ctrcmustances, and It expected to be one of the most successful ever held In the South. "Gypsy" Smith preached Sunday morning from the fifth chapter of Luke. He did not complete his sermon, be cause of lack of time, and he retired, saying that It would be completed Monday morning.
