Three meetings Sabbath attracted large crowds. The meeting fo r men Sabbath afternoon was somewhat dif­ ferent from that used by many evan­ gelists. It did not have that sensa­ tionalism often found nor was there anything that might create a ’ desire fo r advances into unknown fields to the younger mind. The sermon dealt almost exclusively with the duties o f men as citizens, what each communi­ t y was and who alone were responsi­ b le fo r any condition that might ex­ ist. The night meeting found the opera house filled long before the hour an­ nounced. Many were turned away un­ able -to gqt seats while those present will long remember the impressive­ ness o f that sermon and the close o f the meetings. Dr. Atkinson came here without a guarantee and his collections at the Sabbath meetings amounted to $383.- 20 . His collection ten years, ago was $351.48. , .

All the civic, religious and moral organi­ zations opposed to the liquor traffic should.be represented. The action was aimed at the Anti-Saloon League, who Only want action against the manufacture and sale o f liquor. The Prohibitionists as well as the Law Enforcement League want the manu­ facture, sale, transportation and use o f all intoxicating liquors prohibited.
