It wan to these earnest inqtiir in the smaller auditorium at Vile bark of the rout runi that the /evangelist preached the last pa it | of Friday night's sermon. There wuh no urging or plead ing prior to the invitation, and While it wan being extended there were no "personal workers"* I weaving their way in and out in the conKr?'RaUoli Yet In "a ron flbdal faaf-movlng StTesm *nrt with an earnest expectancy writ-' ? ten on every face the inquirer* responded and-so promptly that within four or Ave minut?* hun dreda had ahaken Mr. Hatn'a hand and passed Into the sanctuary hack of the rostrum.

Not quite so large as that of Thursday night, when the congre gation was swelled by the attend ance in a body of Pasquotank Tribe No. 8. improved Order of Red Men. and by a large delega tion from the-elty schools. Friday night's crowd nevertheless num bered close to 4.000 and was the largest week ulglit audience with the exception of that Thursday night How to Get the Mone> An interesting announcement from Chorister Ramssy in his talk Just prior to the ofTerlng was that collections to date on the expenses of the campaign amounted to leas than $1800. whereas expenses will run up to around 15.000. the bill for lumber and local labor alone on the tabernacle being 000. Mr. Katnaay again mad?* his proposition for those who were wIllInK to contribute a dollar on the campaign within the next week to stand. "You women stand up too." lie urged when response from the men seemed somewhat slow. Tell gpour husband that you want a dollar for the Ham-Kamsay meet mk. Kiss him and he'll give It to you." "He doean't know how hard it is to get a dollsr out of my hus bahd." a cynical young matron wss heard to remsrk. Mr. Itamsay's appeals for flnsn cisl support for the meeting have not grated on the tabernacle audi ence. hut. on the contrary, the Cf>ngr? gut ion puts on a broad smile as soon as Ramsay begins to talk. He has his Joke for ev ery occasion, and the one last night was at Mr. Ham's expense. "Three or four people." he ?Sid. "have told Ham that he In handsome and he has got so he believes It.
