L.-.l to Hear Lecture on New Offensive Anti-Christ and Sermon on the Trial of Jesus Sumlav The first objective In the Ham Ramsay evangelistic campaign In Elisabeth City, which enters Tues day upon Its third week here, ha? been atUlned. 1 When nnnip tW mni^ha ninrf* |tr ?KO the pastors of Elisabeth ^ City decided to ask their church- I - es to extend the Ham-Katnsuy ? party an Invitation to conduct an j evangelistic campaign In this city, their first reason for taking the stop was the realisation thai not half of the people of Elisabeth City who are church members were regular attendsnts ut Un church services and that the pas tors found themselves almost al together unable to reach at all great body of people In the flbrity who were admittedly non ^Chrlstlan. Those who knew at first hand of some of the results of Ham KamHay evangelistic campaigns In other cities and tboue who. while they had never been In a city at the time of one of these campaigns, had made Investiga tions of their results from trust worthy sources, were persuaded1 that such a campaign here would reach both the Indifferent church members and those altogether un churched and admlttedlv un saved. That expectation has now been completely Justified. At tile end of two weeks of Evangelist Ham'? preaching, it Is exception al to be able to find one who has not heard the evangelist, and the greater part of the people of tin town are hearing him dally. All last week the average attendance at the day services was close to j 2,000; and that at night, close to 3,000. This makes a total of 5, 5 000 a day. Allowing for those ^ who attend from outside the city and for those who attend twice dally, probably a safe estimate would be that 3,000 of the 10, 000 Inhabitants of T 'aabeth City hear Mr. Ham every toy. When one remembers that 40 per cent of Elisabeth City's population Is colored, and that there are hardly mofe than 1,100 white homes In the city, and that halt the mem bers of these households are chil dren,' and then whsn he observe? r how large a proportion of the con L^Sregatlons at the Jabernaclo arc I Bdults. It seems a reasonable run-' f T elusion that two-thirds of the white adults of the city hear Mr. Ham every day. Whole City Hears Him If the foregoing conclusions are approximately correct, few Indeed were the adults of the city who did not hear Evangelist Ham at one or the other of his services Sunday. At the Sunday afternoon service the tsbernacle wsa well filled, practically every seat In the house being taken, which means that he was heard by approxi mately 4,800 people at the After-> noon service. Then st night the ?- crowd packed the auditorium and p numbors stood at the doorways to I ? hear tho evangelist's message. The crowd Sunday night Is es timated to have exceeded 5,000. Mr. Ham's subject Sunday night was "The Trlsl of Jesus from a f Legal Standpoint." while his Sun day afternoon subject was "The Present Day Offensive of the Antl- , Christ." There wss no service to day as Mondsy is observed by the evangelistic party as a day of rest. The report of Sunday night's sermon will be given In Tuesday's Issue of this newspsper. j The lecture Sundsy afternoon | was s strong presentation of the evangelist's view of certain world movements and tendenclea that ?re now manifest. Briefly. Mr. Ham believes that the present age Is hsstenlng toward Its fall, a fsll as complete ss that of the snclent empire? of Assyrls, Pernis. Greece and Rome; thst at the end of the present age the Anti-Christ will up his kingdom which is to ?JHdure until the second coming of flEliriai..-at whlc-h time complete., TNsfrnctlon will be visited upon the kingdom of the Anti-Christ, after which In s new Hesven and a new earth Christ'* kingdom shall be set up and His will and j i His authority snd His rule shall ?t last become supreme and un disputed. I The Antl-Chrlst movement, Mr. I Ham charges. Is fostered and I fathered by the Third Internation al of the Soviet Government at Moscow. He denounced it and warned his audience against Its InsldloiiN secret working* This sddress was one of th? 1 most sensatlonsl delivered by the r evaniellst In this city and his I charges were supported by the resdlng of excerpts snd discover J les made by ITnlted States secret service men. from literature! seised In the raid upon the com munist meeting st Hrldgeman.

Undermining I'mnlly I.lfe As a means to destroy. family life, universal suffrage without regard for race, color, or Intelli gence Is being preach- d, the preacher charged, and startling ; opinions of suffrage leaders about sex life were read In support of his view.

The speaker Intimated that I'm -id? nt jHardlng was poisoned bv ir. < nts ;of this organization and said that Russian Red Cross relief drives in this cogntry raised money that j went 6 fjnance the Moscow Bo I Rrtferehco w^s made to the So ' vletjpgrarlair'progrnin. n,; a result of which Russian stud?

False philosophy was men tioned and H. O Well- was at tacked as an hireling of the So ivlet government.

I Mr. Ham' declared that he was not afraid of the economic pro gram nor the revolution program of the bolshevlst?

Mr. Ham cited hooks published years ago that predicted the as eendarev of Ram?ay MacDonatd as Rrltlsh premier aa a stepping stone to communism In England.
