A census taken at a recent performance showed that there were in the house residente of no less than 35 states. The large audience that j crowded into the colossal playhouse on Sunday afternoon, November 17, t take part in the celebration of the merirer, perhaps came from more than 35 sta'es from Canada, from the Vir gin Islands, our mission field3 in In iii ;md Ji'nan. A Hippodrome audi ence usually represents every race, every creed, every walk and every sta tion in life. Those who passed the turn-stiles of this spectacular institu tion last Sunday represent almost every peonle in the world. It was a tireat si"ht to behold. There they -.rre Enclishmen, Germans, Swedes, Norwegians, Finns. Danes. Slovaks, Bohemians, Esthonisns, Poloks. Yid dish .Italians and Lithuanians. It was a Pentecostal congregation. The Hip tiodromnis the verging point of serried lines of recreation-seekers stretching to the end of the earth and its pro grams touch every note in the gamut of dramtic sympathy. But not so with Last Sunday's audi ence. Thev were not drawn by the 'iniver.-al lure of laughter, no master hind wfis there to "tickle." That for which Lutherans had hoped, had orayed ;nd worked for generations nnst had bpen accomplished.
