They began to come early and kept on coming until they ha taken every seat mat hail been re served for them and then some whale the white people crowded th "peanut gallery" an1' the "bleach ers . It was a big crowd, probably th largest of the campaign, one which by its presence and enthusiasm in spired a man sick and tired and "full of quinine" to bring a powerful mes wge from God.

Nelson's joib is to get things warm- d up for Mack. So after part of the -ong service had been completed he ailed a testimony meeting with the warning that he didn't want any 'ambling about, wanted them to stick to the subject and make it :hort. This they did and sometimes half a dozen at once would be telling about it. Then some dozen or more co'orod pasters spoke, testified to the help fulness ol tne McLiendon campaign and of their admiration for Mack and the work he is doing for their people.

Through Mack as an instrument God propounded his age-long question to the big audience last night: "Where Art Thou?" This was the first question that God ever asked man. Jle made the inquiry of Adam after the sin in the garden. Adam tried to hide his sin; and so all of his descendants have done. When sin enters our lives and hearts we always try to hide from God. That accounts for so much torn-foolery that people .have set up n the name of religion and which they are asking others to gulp dawn. They want to hide their sir. from God and provide for them- ielves a "royal road" of self-indulg ence to salvation. This Mack said, not only accounts for the "isms," but for the neglect of the Bible, for neglect of church worship and neglect of the prayer life. Challenges Consideration. But the question eternally rings jut, Mack said, and demand an hon est answer one that attempts to fool neither self nor God. ". It should be considered thoroughly and not su perficially." The question must be studied prayerfully and in the full light of scriptural truth.' This age-long question is of too much moment to be treated other wise. And eo long a.s ,we are in the devil's territory the searching must be a continual one. Settles All Problems Mack told his hearers Monday night that the .true test of God-given religion was that, ye "love the (bretftiretn" Love, he aid, is th talismank touch that will solve all problems, the .race problem, the in dustrial problem, the social prob Iemand all the rest of them.
