NO. 248 ifem-Ramsay Tabernacle Twice Filled On Sunday Eslimute?! Total of T??n Thousand IVopIr Vi rnl Qui to I Hear ul llii1 Two Sunday Vrvins Many of Whom from a Di-tan?*?* The largest attendance upon n ? religious cumpui;:n ever witnessed hero, according to an opinion ??x preaaed by old resident* of the city, maik'oU thy Sunday service* ?t the Ham-Ramaay t a bernac! e when Evangelist M K. Han spok.> to approximately 10.000 people at the two tabrrnacli services. At the afternoon sen Ice a good portion of the attendance wax nude up of residents of the Coun ty and adjoining counties while at night practically the entire audi ence wan composed of local eltl *ens and nearby residents. many of whom were In attendant-.? iipuii the services for the rlrM time M&nce they were inaugural* ?! here ?week ago. Two pow? riul net mons from the evangelist 1? a t ur? d the services and t lie pF.uous an-' nounceui'nt? of ill?' rm .ssa^s did much to brinu to pass Chorister! Ramsay's prediction that Sunday would witness a packed taber nacle. At-the artrrrvoTTn hour Mr. IJar.i spoke on Uie -"Sign* of the Times." a grl|fplng discourse throughout dealing with the Ribi? prophecit k eoucerning tlie latter days and present conditions which Indicate the rultillment ef these prophecies. At night one of III? .most powerful defenses of Ui< authenticity of the Holy Scrip tures ever heard here was deliv ered when Mr. Ham address? d himself to the subject "Why I Re lieve There Ih a Cod; Why I Re lieve the Ilible 1? Ills Iiook; and Why I Relieve Jesu* Christ Is His 8on." For well ov?-r an hour the evangelist presented to his. audi ence convincing evidence of ile Divine Inspiration of tli? Ilible and the message created a most profound impression. The various congregations of the city met In their respective churches for the morning servic es, but all other church services were dispensed with. In order to unite at the tabernacle. Prior to the afternoon sermon ?O Unusually Interesting feature' was Introduced when Chorister1 Ramsay practically dispense d with the song service In order to make way for testimonials from a num jber of the converts of tli? rec? nt Mpudi'i son tnecdng who wei .? \ | Mcrs at both Saturday night's and Sunday afternoon's services. Sl\ young business men of Ir son, all converts of the Hani-ltam say campaign there, gave testi mony to th?- great blessings to their own lives and to the com plete change which had come over t their home town an a result of the evangelistic effort. Chief among the testimonial* was that of Addison Ilicks. a young man who testified that pri or to the campaign there 1u had been leader of tlx Cotillion dob of Henderson, and In addition had led a reckless and sinful life; but that the three short weeks lie ha? been a Christian and active in th?' Lord's service had been the hap piest of his life. A. J. Harris. converted bootlegger, testified t?? his own conversion and that of his family. J. ~C. Cooper, prominent insurance man of Henderson. Ins tilled to his own conversion and broadened vision of Christianity And also to the reiparkable ?>ffoct of the meeting on the town gen erally. Other simlliir testimonies Were given and a delegation of business men and laymen from Washington were also recognized ' and testified to the lasting good done in their town during th? campaign there practically a year ago. At the night service. Mr. Rain- j say devoted the first few moments to filling the great choir platform different denomimitIons to furnish their quota of singers. The I platform whs well filled, some 3RD ' pgers taking th?-lr places and luowlnu thems'-Ives Into th?- In [firing song service which fol lowed with a vim. The tnuslc of the campaign Is rapldlv becoming more and in o re effective ss the chorus masters the beautiful at thems. An exceptionslly rousing and tunerul number wss Inrrrr duced at Sundays' service, "Day Is Dawning," ahicb promises to become one of the favorites. The musical program Sunday nlghl was foatured by a beautiful r-o prano and baritone du< t, "Calling Thee," sung by Mrs. J W fore man and Ralph Watts with Mrs. M. Leigh Sheep accompanying An unexpected antl somewhat disconcerting Incident occurred lust as Mr. Ramsay w?s taking the evmlne offering when all th? lights in the tabernacle went out and left the mtire place In dark ness. Eleetrlrlnn.i volunteered their services, however, and as certained that a blown out fuse was responsible for the occurence and It was quickly replaced by a new one and the service proc?->d ed without further Interruption. For the first time the nil rte ry wee In Operation and was taxed to capacity with babies left to be #Kr?d for wliUe their mothers en ?oyed the services The lack of Al'turbanc? from fretting children ?m a noticeable and pleasing fen ture of the aervlcea yesterday The nursery will be ?o operation for t be remainder of the campaign god promise* to be a decided con trihutlon to the success of the m.etings, Mr. Haiu?aiinoiiKPfii?Uml mi Wt^rtonrtav aiftht hr wffuriftfeTfr or :i special jn"?sase- to the Sun-1 day school* a f tiff rs and teachers I .?ml t!u; official board ,.( tin.

Olvinu Mm reason for faith In such a [)< inK, the evan gelist said: For thin division of our ines Mge we will rite two texts: rsalm 11:1. Horn. 1:20. "The tool hath said in his heart. I her?' Is no (Jod.'' That Is a fool's state ment because it is not the prod uct of reason and is contrary to every known system of reasoning. Answering a fool according to his folly makis appropriate the state ment fo the old darky to the scof fer against "heartfelt ' religion who said: "Itosa, you should have saiil dey a In no heartfelt re ligion as you know* of." and the satiric reply of t lie Dutchman to tills same fool, who exclaimed: "V? I. tli?- Bible says the fool rays in his heart there Is no God hut you be vun big fool for you Just blah it right out." There are four things for which thev who deny the existence of Cod cannot account the I'nl verse, t hi- Illble. the Christ mid the Jew. While waiting In the machine shop of an automobile factory for the met. to finish their lutirhes. having announced a noon-day talk to the men. I overheard a discus sion among the m< u concerning belief and unbelief. One who de nied the existence of a God when ask"d who made the universe mm id- "On?? time the Mitlu nnl vers" was nothing ?Mit a bunch of nebular matter nnd it hcr.an to cool aril got to revolving mo fast that little particles flew off and these in turn got to revolving and Unfitly turned Into world* and re volved Into positions." He had the old discarded nebular hypoth esis. Why Htiy man who can rwpllow such stuff has any difficulty in he ?rmflTfg TWIt' The wh'ale 'swallowed Jonah Is too much for me. I could swallow a man myself easier than I could swallow that stuff. Tie man who can talk so much like an s?-* should not express surprise that Balaam's nsn talked like a man. Tor it is not any more un reasonable for mi ??k to talk (Ike a man. (han for a man to talk like an ass. I began my talk by repeating nsrt of the conversation Just heard. then, printing to a bench on which rested m number of em ery stones. I sought to explain their existence by saying (hat at one time the larger ono got to re volving nnd that finally It flung ofT other stone* and these in turn got to revolving. In the same fashion an automobile came into existence; a bunch of Junk thrown together got to r?*oltrlne and floundered around and finally an automobile ?ns evolved. Yon say. "Ham, you are a fool." 1 admit It, but I'm giving the argument of the brainy Infi del. And then one day I stood look ing at s Mogul locomotive and lis tened as Its Intricate mechanlam was explained.

Ycggmcn killed one policeman here yesterdany and one who was captured confessed that one of the nun with him was G raid Chap man. famous criminal who es caped from Atlanta penitentiary. thought of the marvelous accident bv Which it happened. No doubt v.t one time a bunch of ..junk got heated up and began to cool and 1 j I o revolve, and then by some sort of evolutionary and spontaneous maneuvering formed Itself into such a piece of machinery. The engineer said when I commented in such fashion: "Why. man. : you're a fool." I know 1 am. hut | I'm following the" argument und ?the reasoning of the brainy Inft . del. I showed my watch to a jeweler 0 fie day and commented upon Its' marvelous and delicate design. -TIhh T i1 i?"li? of tin manner?in which a bundle of ore got togeth- ? er and got to whirling around nnd finally evolved Itself Into a time piece. And he called n?e a fool and insisted that Intelligence and . reasoning designed and made the ? watch. I know I was a fool hut if the universe with its systems 1 within systems and its worlds without number can juat happen into existence surely It is not too much to expect a small watch to lust happen. We have Indulged In the folly of the fool. IteoMiiuibl?* Conclusion The automobile In the product of Intelligent, thorough doslcnint and Is itself proof of the existence of a designer. I stand on the seashore nnd i watch the water us It evaporates, is carried over the land, comes In contact with a current of cold air. Is condensed and falls as rain, watering the earth and flowing through the brook#, creeks, and rivers ha ok to the ocean again. I ask the Infidel to explain and he says. "Oh. it Just happened." No. there's an Intelligence bae!; of It all. Romans 1:20 "The Invisible thlnga of Him since the creation of. the world are clearing seen, be ing perceived throush the things that are made." Nature proven the existence of a Ood. Oo out on a snowy day nnd examine the snowflakes with a microscope?. No centerpiece was ever ho beautiful In Its design and structure, all of I hem symmetri cully similar and yet no two alike. Go into the forests and examine nil the leaves yon will nnd you will find no two of them exactly alike no two on the same tree, even. Light gives color to the herb age. Now go into an orchard nnd study the leave? on various trees nnd vines. All of thein are ar ranged In spiral group* In such a manner that no one ahndes the other, and the tip of the first juat reaches Ih" stem of the last. The apple and cherry haves are ar ranged ill groups of five. the oulnce and raspberry In fours and the peach and pear In sixes. An ear of cc.rn han always an even number of rows of grains and nev ? r nn odd number. Brother, who counts all these? Surely there Is an omnipotent Clod In It all in every realm of nature num ber and mathematical perfection play such fundamental and uni versal parts thst the more the matter Is studied the more nbso i lute becomes the conviction that creative mind Is back of It nil. In the decorntlve coverings of ani mal?. hair, f-athers and other ma trrUls, there Is mathematical ac curacy In the measurement of spaces, gradation of tints nnd ad herence to design. An harmonies In music depend upon air vibra tions properly related. *o blending colors have the same fixed rela- ( t iona in the matter of ether vi brations. There Is perfect sym metrical work among the ants and the bees, and no accident can ae Icount for the 11.090 hexagonal.
