“The tent held 8,000. It was claimed to be the largest gospel tent in America. It was crowed every night. The day we closed, the police, fearing there might be trouble on account of the crowd, were there in force and said that 10,000 were unable to get into the tent.
After the close of the meeting, they said that they had the best of order. Many ministers were present at both the day and night meetings, and they asked all that had been blessed or healed to stand up. Several thousand arose in both services. They all stood and sang praises to God for the great work the Lord had done.
Some of the worse men and boys, those that had given us the most trouble, would not leave until the police had brought them up to say good-bye. With tears running from their eyes, they begged us to forgive them for what they had done and asked us to pray that they might be saved.”
