DRAMATIC CLOSE OF MEETING; I Invitation to Find Christ With Orai tor Responded to by ! Large Crowd. I "You in these front seals." exelaiined i Gipsy Smith at the opening ot" the big j meeting in Convention Hall last night, "if j on don't tiring a stranger with you tomorrow night, 1 won't have you in front. "I won't ho satisfied until 1 can lead you through the streets of the eity singing 'Rescue the Perishing." Are you with ! nie in that?" Gipsy Smith waited for a reply. "Answer me. Are you with me? Hands' up. if you are." Thousands of hands went up. "That means you will go with tmt," j he shouted, a smile playing over his lea- ! turps, his Mark eyes flashing. Two Services Yesterday. "Lis*en! Hear me.*' "Have you lost Christ? "Be careful: yoti may lose Him." These throe sentences rang through the address of the evangelist before the audi- ! I j Rev. J. G. Butler, As-dated ai Afternoon Service. ence of t?.?XR> people in Convention Hall last night. "A Ix?st Christ," was his theme. "Listen! Among Christians, we want not so much jaw. but a little more joy." .Such was the message of the. English evangelist" to an audience that packed the First Congregational Church at the ttrst afternoon meeting yesterday at 5i o'clock. Dramatic and impressive was the close last night of the great meeting In huge Convention Hall. The evangelist had read from the Biiije of how Mary, mother of Jesus, lost Christ, how she found Him in church, how she had to go back to where she had lost Him to flnrl Ilini. He told how easy it is to lose Christ frm one's life; easy even to lose Him in church. How necessary it is to go back a hard way to tind Him again. Then all j heads were bowed in prayer. "Where He lends me, I will follow," he | sang, taking up a refrain which the choir had previously sung. Then the chorus repeated the notes. "All who feel they want to find Christ will you stand?" he asked. The chorus of 500 voices sang the words, "Where He leads mo, 1 will follow." "That's r'g'n* brother; that's light, sister. Cod bless you." As persons stood in tha* vast audience, the evangelist had a word of recognition for each one. There were tears in the ! eyes of many; others stood with brails . bowed; many wore a smile that indicated j a victory won. j Tiie chorus sans the words "f the song j over and over. The invitation was re- ! prated again and again. All over the ; hall persons were rising in response. It; was a climax that few who were present will soon forget. "A Lost Christ," His Theme. To begin his sermon last night Gipsy Smith read from the second chupter of St. I.ukc, in which is told of the losing ; of < 'lirist hy His mother, of her journey! to find Hirn and of her regaining Him in the temple. "So mv theme is 'A Lost Christ." 'i ne j least unlikely person to lose Jesus was j tne first to lose Him. 1 question w hether i any one ever loved Him as much as ! Mary, But she lost Him. "Listen. "There were inner circles, sacred fel-1 low ships, into whioh Mary entered and j lived with Him. But she lost Him. "You may love Hint. But be careful, !
