^Packed To Its Walls Tabernacle
Inadequate For Sunday's Crowds
Ureal Manifestation of Interest at Both Senices of the
Ham-Kam?ay Revival Sunday But Evangelist Tells
Audience Will Ik* Another Week Before
the Walls of Jericho ('.rumble
Packed to Its v alla, when* r|
many atood back of tt>f last row
?t ?eats, while boys sat In the.
sawdust In front of the first raw
an^ at the foot cf the rostrum.
? o4 while little girls sat on the
rostrum Itself and even grown
people sat on the steps leading to
the tiers of svata reserved for the
choir, until every foot gf IVfrjl
able space was occupied, the Ham
Ilamsay tabernacle, with a normal
seating capacity of 4.500. was still
Inadequate to hold the crowds
that pressed to hear Evangelist
M. F. Ham deliver his sermon on
B "The Final Judgment." Sunday
* night. Not a door of the taber
nacle wus there during the ser
vice but that was crowded with a
group of listener? that stood
through the sermon to catch as
much an they could of the evan
I gellst's message. Not In the his
tory of Elizabeth City ha? a speak
I er ever addressed such a multi
tude.
Helping to swell the attendance,
? was a representation of the mem
bership of the Shiloh Baptist
j Church, the oldest Baptist Church
I in North Carolina, which more
than 200 strong occupied the re
! served section of the main audi- j
I torlum.
Interest as well as attendance
surpassed all prevloua records.?
and when the invitation was given
at the close_of_the^8ervlce. the tn
:?quiry room whs puctgfl wun a~n\-'
ious ones seeking to be pointed to >
the way of salvation. It was tft
this smaller group that the evan
gelist delivered the conclusion of I
his meusage. offering a way to es
cape from the consequences of sin
that await the unredeemed in the
day of Judgment. Especially not-1
able Sunday night was the large
proportion of young people, es
pecially young men, who attended
the after-meeting, thus manifest
ing the impression made upon
th5fiv?yThe effffffeHfttV messape
Sunday afternoon's service,
wheh the Evangelist spoke on
"Heroes and Coward* or Men and
Mollycoddles" likewise was a rec
i ord breaker in attendance at the!
? day services, and Christian peo
^ were even more visibly'affect
ed by this message, which was a
ringing challenge to followers of
Christ to quit themselves like men
and heroes In the Christian war
fare, than by that of Sunday
night. The report of this mes
sage will be given In a subsequent
Imuc of this newspaper.
Saturday night's sermon on
"Filling Sin's Cup" was one of the
uiost effective sermons the evan-,
geltst has delivered.
"Whether you believe In the
wrath of (Jod or not." said lu*.
"you will feel It."
1 "Crime is rampant today be
causc criminals are not punished,
and likewise sin Is rampant be
cause many of you have been per
suaded to believe that God Is not
going to punish you."
" 'You will not die. go on and
eat the fruit,' Satsn told Rve, and
the I>evil has never changed his
tactics hut has been using the
same old arguments every sine?-,
and is deceiving many of you just
as he deceived Eve.
"There Is not a inore dangerous
symptom than to be at peace In
?In.
"Woe to the wicked when they
are not In trouble, neither ar?> they
plagued as other men; when pride
COmpas>"'th them about aH a elm in
and when violence coverrlh them
as a garment; when their eyes
stand out with fatness snd when
ffcev have inore than heart could
wish. These sre they whom Cod
has set In slippery places and
whom he will east down In utter
desolation and upon whom he will
Wislt complete destruction."
4 Mr. Ham's text Sunday night
'^Jjjr his sermon on "The Final
Judgment" wan: "It Is appoint
ed unto inan once to die. and af
ter death the Judgment ." He al
so read the following passages of
?crlpture:
"But now (God) commandeth
all men everywhere to repeht: be
cause He hath appointed a dav In
which he will Judge the world In
righteousness by the Man whom
lie hath ordained; whether He
hath given asnurance unto all men
|n that He hath raised Him from
the dead." -Acts 17tS0-?1.
"And I saw a great white
throne and Him that sat on It.
from whose face the earth and the
?heavens fled away; and there was
found no place for them. And I
saw the dead, small and great,
?tand before God; and the hooks
were opened; and the dead were
Judged out of those things which
were written in the books; and
they were Judged every man ac
cording to their works." -Rev.
IT: 11 -13
Between the reading of these
texta and the commformi'iil of
his sermon the evangelist sang
"The Judgment" to a hushed audi
>fy*nee. Following la a condensed
T luminary of this s?rmon:
^ Certain and tfnavoldable
The flrat thing we know about

"I have your letter of October

turned over to the State for main

INSTALLS NEW FIRE
SPRINKLER SYSTEM
Tl?? Standard Manufacturing

Globe automatic fire sprinkler
system, which is regarded us the
latest development of Ita kind In ,
America.
The sprlnkjer Is an automatic

cluding all floors, under stairways
and so on.
Each sprinkler Is capable of
throwing water over an nrca of
100 square feet. The sprinkler Is
v?ry Pimple In construction and
has a fusible strut which melta at
165 degree? temperature. If a
fire should break out at any time
and th?* heat should line to 165
degrees, the aolder In the sprlnk
ler meltH and the water la spread
on the fire, thereby extinguishing
It Immediately.
With thla system, the location
In the building where the Are ac
tually starta In the only part of
the building In which the water
Is thrown, thereby Having from
water damage the merchandise
and equipment located In other
j)arUi of. the buildiug.
In connection with the globe
automatic nprlnkb-r system there
In located on the outside of the
