The Conshohockens five weeks re-ligious
revival campaign tamp to a
close with the Sunday ovenipg ser-vice
in the tabernacle with triumph.
Every spot in the big building where
a chair, box or bench could be placed,
was used and all available standing
room was occupied. Never before
lias Conshohocken witnessed such a
great gathering at a religious service,
many were unable to get into the
building. It was a farwell service in
which the great congregation desired
to express its appreciation for the
great work the campaign accomplish-ed
and the high esteem in which Mr.
McKinney and his party is held.
It was announced that the evening
service would begin as soon as the
tabernacle was filled. Many persona
took no chances in securing good seat
and began to enter the building before
six o'clock. At half past seven there
was standing room only. ,The choir
was on hand early and a song service
was held. A quartette of Messrs E.
O. T. Davis, William Davis William
Smallwood, and Joseph Beck sang a
song composed by Miss Elizabeth
Pierce and E. G. T. Davis, which was
eulogistic of the evangelistic party.
Rev. .1. Kennedy Moorhouse, of the
executive committee, read resolutions
thanking all who aided in the cam-paign.
Resolutions were also adopt-ed
thanking Rev. E. L. Hyde for the
work he has done and crediting him
with the Idea of having the campaign.
Rev. A. J. Davies read the resolutions
adopted by the ministers setting forth
the work and methods of Rev. T. W.
McKinney, the evangelist and express-ing
appreciation of the work of him-self
and his party. The resolutions
are printed in full else where in this
issue.
Mr. McKinney asked that the min-isters
come to the platform. All were
present except Mr. Sheppard, who was
detained at a childrens' meeting, in
his cliurch. When the ministers took
their places the evangelist said he de-sired
them there as a back ground
for his remarks. He said, "Next Sun-day,
I will be at my own church.
There will be no great congregation
like this; there will be no applause;
no brass bands or the other spectular
features of the tabernacle. The re-sults
of this campaign have been
wonderful and I hope the work will
be carried on in the churches. I be-lieve
in everything that has been done
here and the most important work to
be done now is the building into the
church the souls that have been won
here. The converts will stick if you
muke the churches warm."
Scores Traducers of the Ministry.
In speaking of evangelists who gain
notoriety by traducing the ministry,
he said: "It makes my blood boil to
hear a responsible or irresponsible
evangelist speak disparagingly of the
Christian ministry. There is an ev-angelist
in a town nearby who sland-ered
the ministry and had I been pre-sent
when he uttered that slander, I
would have interrupted him and chal-lenged
his statements."
Mr. McKinney turned to the minis-ters
and paid a fine tribute to them
a;: Christian men and faithful work-ers.
He also thanked them for the
great aid they gave in the campaign
and their hearty co-aperation with the
evangelistic party.
Two surprises were pleasing feat-ures
of the evening. Mr. Davies was
given a small package by the choir to
present to Mr. Madden. The pack-age
was opened and contained a hand-some,
gold watch fob. It was a com-plete
surprise and for a time Mr. Mad-den
could not find words to express
his thanks.
The other surprise was by the ush-ers.
They assembled in the rear of
the building and to the hymn, "On-ward
Christian Soldiers" marched
down the aisle^ to the front of the
platform. Joseph Beck, chairman of
the ushers, was called to the, platform
and presented with a large handsome
wicker, easy chair. In expressing his
thanks for the gift, he said he apprec-iated
more the faithful and loyal ser-vice
the ushers have given and he ask-edthat
they and the choir form a per-manent
organization to continue the
work begun at the tabernacle. lie
said the organization could visit the
various churches and aid the services
and other meetings. He said the or-ganization
could be of great benefit
to the churches and the community.
All the ushers and members of the
choir are requested to send their name
and address to him at his home 1020
Fayette stieet.
A number of friends of rtev. and
Mrs. A. J. Kellerman, presented them
with ten dollars in gold, but through
an error this was not publicly an-nounced
at the meeting.
Mr? Madden also urged the forming
of a permanent organization saying
a great good can be accomplished, lie
congratulated the choir on its work
saying it is a far better orgonization
than many in larger towns.
PARTY BIDS FAREWELL
At the close of the evening service
Rev. A. J. Davies asked all the evang-elistic
party to the platform. The
choir sang "God be with you till we
Meet again." Mr. Davies called on
each of the party for a speech. Mr.
Mit Kinney expressed delight at the
treatment he and his party received,
as did Rev. and Mrs. Kel'.erman and
Mr. and Mrs. Madden.
Mr. Madden said he and Mrs. Mad-den
desired to shake hands with the
choir and bid them farewell. They
stood beside the piano to receive the
choir but Mr. McKinney and Mr. and
Mrs. Kellerman were also compelled
to stand in line and hold a reception.
The choir and the congregation form-ed
in line and shook hands with the
people and received their well wishes.
At the close of the service, William
H Campbell treasurer of the campaign
committee, handed Mr. McKinney, a
check for $1372.98 being the total
amount of the free will offering giv-en
him for his services
THE EVENING SERVICE
The sermon was preached from the
text. S. Matthew, 25:10—"And while
they went to buy, the bridegroom
came; and they that were ready weal
in with him to the marriage: and the
door was shut."
The sermon was a powerful appeal
and as the last one of this revival for
the unconverted to accept Jesus
Christ. The theme was the story of
the foolish virgins, wtio when they
were ready to go to the marriage,
found the door shut. The preacher
said: "The necessity for being pre-pared
Is just as great today as it ever
was. Men may be known as honest,
moral and faithful but whether you
are ready will be revealed some day.
We are not made ready by any church
obligations. We may be identified
with churches, partake of the sacra-ments
and yet do it without a vital
knowledge of Jesus. Being ready is
the work of a grace in the heart of
man and God must help you. It you
are going to the marriage supper of
the I,amb, you must renounce the
devil and his works and become a fel-low
citizen of the saints in the house-hold
of God.
"Many slip into the tabernacle ser-vices
and enjoy and appreciate them
but you cannot slip into the Kingdom
of God. Russell and his crowd are
teaching that men are given a second
chance: my bible does not give any
such offer.
"It is the sadest thing that any one
should be unready to accept Christ.
We are all certain that one day we
shall stand in judgment. Unreaaiuess
is the utter absence of vital piety.
Every one has a capacity Tor God, and
no matter how beastial a man might
be, he may be called back again and
be given joy and peace."
SPOKE TO BURGESS SAUL
Burgess Saul, of Norrlstown, was
present and occupied a front seat,
the evangelist addressed him and said
that he told a Norristown Bible Class,
Saturday evening of what he had
heard of conditions at Norristown.
He repeated what he had said to the
class and which is the article telling
of the Saturday service.

POLITICAL ITEMS.
ELLEN MCDONALD.
The funeral of Ellen, wife of tho
late Lawrence McDonald, this morn-ing
was held from the residence of
her BOn-ln-law, Charles Thwaites, SIS
East Hector street, and was attended
by many friends and relatives. High
mass of requiem was celebrated in St.
Matthew's church and the interment
was at St. Matthew's new cemetery.
Mrs. McDonald died suddenly, Satur-day
morning. She was it years of
age and was never ill until an hour
before her death. She was an active
woman and since the death of her hus-band
made her home with her daugh-ter,
Mrs. Charles Thwaites. Saturday
morning she was about the house as
usual and at nine o'clock suddenly was
overcome with a sinking spell. A
physician was hurriedly summoned
but she was beyond human aid and
an hour later, she passed away. She
is survived by a son, John McDonald,
and two daughters, Mrs. Charles
Thwaites and Mrs Samuel Wilson.
DEATHS.
Suddenly, May 18, 1915, Evan Wat
kins, Jr., son of Evan and Isabella
(nee McFarland) Watklns, age four
years.
The relatives and friends of the
family are respectfully invited to at-tend
the funeral from parents' resid-ence,
366 East Elm street, on Friday,
May 21, at two o'clock. Interment-
Cold Point.
May IS, 1915, Margaret Adams, wife
of Edward Adams, aged 611 years.
The relatives and friends of the
family are respectfully imited to at-tend
the funeral from her late resi-dence.
102 Ford street, West Consho-hocken,
on Wednesday, May 16, at 1
o'clock. Services in Balligomingo
Baptist Church at two o'clock. Inter-ment
at Riverside. The body may be
viewed Tuesday evening
The psychological moment for the
candidates to flock for the Sheriff
nomination has not arrived it seems.
William H. Fox, a Deputy in the ofiice,
and Oliver Braden, of Glenside, are
announced candidates, 'but there Is
usually more of a scramble for this
office, which the past year netted the
incumbent, Charles E. Schwartz, more
than $6000. A. Fred Saylor and his
friends are pursuing the policy that it
is a good thing to have at least one
man on the Board of County Commis-sioners.
He Is there now, and wants
to stay there. He comes from I-ower
Pottegrove township, and when a
candidate on a previous occasion re-ceived
the votes of every voter in the
township, regardless of party affilia-tion,
indicating his good standing at
home.
• • •
Chaiincey J. Buckley, of Norris-town,
Is a candidate. He is out for
the Republican nomination for Regis-ter
of Wills. He says that he has
really been an aspirant ever since he
stopped from the Sheriff's office four
years ago, when, he says, he an-nounced
then he wanted to be Regis-ter
of Wills. There are many other
candidates for Register, including
Robert C. Miller and George K. Yca-kel,
of Norristown. Joseph C. Craw
ford, of I.x>wer Merlon, Bays that he is
a full-fledged candidate for Register
of Wills. Mr. Crawford held the of-fice
some years ago and was an oblig-ing
and efficient officer, ille has long
been an active Republican advocate
and worker and, while a resident of
West Conshohocken, filled the offices
of Burgess, Councilman, School Di-rector
(being President of the Board)
and member of the Board of Health.
It was Mr. Crawford's Idea, by the
way, to prohibit the use or sale of
balloons Intended to contain fire for
purposes of ascension. His idea was
to protect property which so often
was seriously damaged by these paper
balloons, on or about Fourth of July,
setting lire to fields and to barns and
houses. Assemblyman Ambler intro-duced
the bill and Gov. Brumbaugh
signed it. So it is unlawful in Penn-sylvania
to have balloon ascensions of
this sort. Another step in the direc-tion
of sanity on the Fourth.
MOOSE TO GIVE MINSTREL SHOW
Will Contain Lots of Entertaining
Features Including a Life Imper-sonation
of Charlie Chaplain.
Umbrellas repaired and covered at
KEHOES—AdvL
Advertise In "THE RECORDER."
What promises to surpass any show
given previously in the borough, is
the big Minstrel Show, to be given
under the auspices of the Conshohock-en
Lodge, No. 283, I.. 0 <>. M., in

evening. May 27.

the Melody Harmony Minstrel Troupe
of Norristown, conceded to be one of
the best minstrel organizations in the
state. These young nun have gained
a reputation for themselves by reason
of their meritorious performances in
the past, and when the curtain arisen
for the (Grand Opening i First Part
of the Minstrel Show will contain an
abundance of the most sensational
and popular song hits (the work of
New York Composers) which will be
featured at all the leading theatres,
cafes, and song shops of Atlantic City
and all other resorts.
There will also be a lot of new and
up-to-date jokes, side splitting comedy
slap artists, straight double acts,
quartettes, buck dancers, solo artists
The most important feature of the
show, which will delight every .Movie-supporter
of Charlie Chaplain, will be
when Daniel F. Gallagher, the com-edy
artist, will give a real life and cor-rect
impersonation of the great movie
actor, which will be the leading fea-ture
of the last sketch entitled, "Try-out
Night at Hammersfein's Vaude-ville
House, New York."
MEMORIAL DAY.
Memorial Day 1916 falls on Sunday
The day will be commemorated on
Saturday this year and members of
the Grand Army of the Republic and
other organizations are now preparing
to give the occasion the usual fitting
and patriotic observance. From now
on until Memorial Day the Gulf cem-etery
will ibe the mecca for visitors
who have beloved ones resting in its
sepulchres, and who consider it a
lasting tribute to their memory to
place garlands of flowers on their
graves, especially at this time. Many
soldiers are burled in Gulf Cemetery,
and Memorial Day will not only find
their tombs 'decorated with llowers
but the symbol of liberty, the flag
for which they fought will also be in
evidence.
