Immense Crowd There.
A the tabernacle neats 28fn per-
sons and scores were unable to gel
chair or bench the attendance last
night was estimated at more than
atmo when Evangelist Tetley alarted
a sermon on in tongue. ' "lu
h had a telegram from Dr. McCounell
who sent Ills cordial wishes to Chick-
auha and who urged close co-operation
among Christians until he arrlv
ed. Tetley said lie would preach to-
night on "Church Members Who
Bark" reported to he a sermon of
unusual vigor.
Hot denunciation of a certain ele-
ment In almost every town poured
from the evangelist's lips as a preface
to his sermon. Me paid tohasco re
Bpecta to those who. he said would
Immediately 't about In Chit-kasha to
'make the ignorant believe the evan
Relists were a "set of grafters."
r "Not a Grafter."
With vitriolic force Tetley rapped
fcuch critics as grafters for the devil.
'1 Am a Grafter!" he cried. "Yes. I'm
ft grafter: I'm grafting for the Lord
J'W8 Christ! Those fellows who get
a running off at the mouth In Chicka-
sha are grafters for the Devil"
.Tetley said that he had been engraft-
ed Into the vine of Jesus Christ; that
he had quit years ago a position which
paid $765 a month In Missouri to an
it-pt a circuit as a preacher at $;15 a
year; that he was on a straight sal
ary a fair one because Dr McConpell
was a fair man ind paid what his
aides were worth lie demanded to
know if any of the "spouters of graft'
in Chlckasha were willing to give up
audi a Job as he had held to take.such
an one as he took In order to preach
Christianity.
The preacher in announcing that
better ventilation would be attained
today said "you don't need any more
hot air than you'll get from this eiu'
ot the tabernacle" then went on with
his text of the evening which was
a'olomon's declaration that "Death and
life are In the power of the tongue."
Tetley declared the tongue an Index
to-clraracter and that moral depravity
or moral purity was betrayed by it.
He plunged lino the various depart-
ments of life in which Hie tongue is
a vital factor; bitterly excorlaied the
ill usage of it and pleaded in conclus
ion for careful guaidianship of that
organ.
Use Illustration.
He told of a little wy who believed
Cod had developed man from dirt and
lio made a mud man. The child was
lorced to leave the product of his skill
to go to dinner and his brothers stole
the mud man. The little fellow was
unable to find his manufactured arti
cle but some time later went lo town
to view a dress parade of soldiers.
A big hulk of a soldier riveted the
attention of the mud-muu maker and
(be child trailed the footsteps of the
fellow until the pompous individual '
became m annoyed he demanded that
hit shadow ynixh.' To his amazement
Hie little boy demanded right hack:
'What's d you run otf fer befo' 1 had
you finish ?" The child had recogniz-
ed something wrong in the uniform-
ed chap und so does every community
see there is something wrong b;' the
way a man uses bis lougue Tetley in-
sisted. When a ceit.ilti nervous man sought
u physician's diagnosis and treat-
ment the doctor wanted to look at the
patient's tongue Tetley said but the
sick man exclaimed "1 wish you'd
look at my wile's too Doc; that's
what's the matter with me."
"Many a man or womau has been
ruined because of the tongue of some-
one he or she loved!" I lie evangelist
exclaimed. The iron of sorrow and
disappointment had been sunk deep
Into hearts by the lushing criticism of
the tongue he said; divorce courts
were eternally dissolving the material
ties because of carelessly spoken
words churches were divided into
warring factious communities suffered
from dead feuds and the great pur
pose of (iod were brought to naught
because of careless words. j
Tetley related the scientist's discov-
ery of a snail whose tongue contained
as high as 30000 sharp teeth which it
carried colled and ready to poison and
ruin. He said he had seen folk whose
tongues were trthed with barbs of
biting sarcasm and unkimilims. "(Jh
how their sharpness and sting and
acidity cut and lacerate the individual
they strike!" the preacher cried.
Berates Long Tongue.
Scathingly the evangelist berated
the long nosed long-tongued person
who "stuck his beak inlo the heart
and sucked the sweetness of love and
beauty out of a life." He hammered
at profanity and hit it hard. He de-
clared It the most useless and purpose
less evii in the world. - .
"No mnti can claim real gentility if
he is a lussor!" Tetley exclaimed un l
clyalmed and he declared profanity
users were of that class which was
thoughtless and ruinous and coarse
mid downright devilish and mean. He
said he felt a self-pity whenever he
hoarded a cur in which "dirty hell-
hounds sat spewing out their con-
temptible profanity." He insisted he
woi'.id rather have his daughter travel
the old maid route and waddle a
poodle dog lu her lap all her life than
for her to keep company witli the
"best drewsed dirty little cussln' buck
in America!"
He said small sons hear ihoir fath-
ers swearing and It would have been
hotter had the "old hell gullions" died
before the little fellows were born.

be obvious. Owing to the
amount of bookkeeping requir-
ed and the cost of making col-
lections it is impossible to take

tions to the Daily Express of-
fice with cash. Papers will be
