SUNDAY USHERS GIVEN DINNER
Fired by enthusiasm by the outpouring; of the Simday school hosts Rev. William Ashley Sunday delivered two forceful eloquent; sermons yesterday aftemoon and evening. At the close of the day j 9,611 converts had been totaled with 1079 coming forward at the; afternoon session and 206 in the evening. Estimates are to the! effect that of tliis total fully fifty per cent, are men. Of the thous-1 and converts of the.aftemoon 850 hit the trail at the Tabernacle, | 195 at the Central M. E. services, 25 at the Majestic and 11 at the Majestic and 11 at the First Baptist.
The day wfis an eventful one for the Sunday party.    The Sun¬ day school parade, a detailed account of which wil be found else¬ where, surpassed all expectations.   Three overflow meetings were held without accommodating all of the marchers.   A  death   of   aj spectator of the march marred the parade.
OVERFLOW CROWD. Last night the Tabernacle had an overflov.- crowd, the first Sat- j urday night since his arrival here.   Five hundred miners in the Nan- j c     n       j.

HAITOSOME PRESENTS. Last night the platf oim at the big building almost made one think that the Christmas tide was here. The green pine was all that was needed! to make it a perfect Christmas picture. Gifts of all sorts were showered upon the evangelist, his wife and other mem¬ bers of the party. Flowers there were in abundance, various in¬ dustrial and business establishments being the donors. Sofa cush¬ ions were presented to Mrs. Sunday and she personally came to the front and thanked the donors.   The Christian Endeavor Society of
the Welsh Congregational church of Plains gave a handsome silver jtrai m. k. chureh. -it was a -btiiiy' service set to Mrs. Sunday. This she also acknowletlged personally ainner." rhickpn beinqr .•5er\'<>ci by th*- and stated that on September 5 of this year they were to celebrate I ladie.s of the chureh. v.yery member their silver aniversary and that this would be one of the gifts in I of the evangciisfs party was. present post of honor in commemoration of the esteem in which the P®<>ple|-^"^'i^J^h"'j^t^two ^^'^^^r^^fl men who have of this valley, and particularly in Plains, held them.
