BY ONE WHO WAS THERE

THAT GREAT TABERNACLE MEETING

In the quarter of a eentury of Nar

berth's life t!1ere has not been such ameeting as was held in the Depfer

Tabernacle la'st Sunday evening. It

was the g re at es t religious me et ing in

tiLe memory of the old-est inhabitant.It w as t he l ar ge st g at he ri ng o f an y

sort ' th at h as ever llIet under a roofin Narberth. The tabernacle seats

ahout 1100, and i t appeared to be c omfortably filled on Sunday night, thougha few: hundred mor.e could have bee nsqueezed in.

I f any of t he Chr is ti an peopl e of

~ a r b e r t h expected this evangelist, Dr .H_ A. Depfer, to t ick le ,th.elr e ar s, t he ylIIust have gone awaY Sunday night

disappointed. The Nar be rt h pastors

ar e plain spoken, and they do no t

shrink from te ll ing thei r people about

sin, bu t probably no suc h p la in sp ea k

T he p re ac he r' s t ex t w as from the

Psalm: "Search me, 0 God, and knowmy heart. Tr y me, and know my

thought s, a nd s.ee i f there be IInywicke d way in me; and lead me in

the way ever las t ing ."

One c it iz en o f Narbe rth had sa id -

without knowing that Dr. Depfe r was

ove r h ea ri ng it-"Why do we want atabernaCle in Nar be rt h? T he i de a of

such a' thing! I t would be well enough

if they took the tabe rnacle to Ard

lIIore. where they have saloons."After that Sunday night meeting th.e

Christian people went out feeling that

if there was a benigh ted heathen townon th e face of th e .earth that needed

a revival. that town was beautiful,

eu ltu red , r e spec tab le Narbe rth . the

H)'ear-round home to wn." And th ey

a ls o wen t away feeling that th.e greatest thing that could h ap pe n t o this

town from every standpoint, commp.rdal, mor al a nd religious, Is this re vival campaign that is going on .The preacher was talking especially

words he sh ow ed what the results

would be if th e church members of

:\arberth would le t God search theirh ea rt s. He found prayerlessness, pro

whose c hi ld re n had never heard them

pray. He found wor ld li ne ss , p ro

After a general handshake and getacquainted hou r, P ro f. Chapman led

songs which will 'be used at th e tabernacle. One of the notable performances
