Phillips, who is chairman of the subcommittee for school sales, said he believed last year's record was broken. In 1913, 60,000 seales were distributed in the schools; early this week the 1914 al lotment of 60,000 were taken around Ito the different buildings. In most of the schools during the last three days set aside for the active selling, the story of what will be done with the proceeds of the campaign was impressed upon the youngsters. About eighty per cent, of the net re ceipts will be turned over to the anti tuberculosis society here and the funds jv.yi be distributed for trolley tickets j for the needy children and grown | ups who can't afford or are too ill | to travel from their homes to the dis pensary for daily treatment; some to jrfjuy tickets and clothing for the poorer ones whose destination is Mont I Alto or Cresson. Funds were used ,last year to furnish the "window I tents" for the shut-in patients—the clever little canvas canopies which are suspended inside the open windows in such a way as to provide shelter for | the occupant of the bed and at the jsame time allow ample light and air jund sunshine. ' Cameron Likely to Head j School buildings, rooms and pupils •settled exciting little rivalries as to | which could sell the most seals. From nil appearances however the Cameron I I building will load again as last year ! ! and a peculiar coincidence is that I Ismail Mary Welcomer, a sister of the i record-maker last year, Miss Kather- | ine Welcomer will be the star sales i girl of that building.

Tons of Supplies For Poor Tons of groceries and supplies of ajl kinds for the poor—flour, potatoes, sugar, salt and coffee, canned goods of all varieties, tea, apples, lard, pump kins, cabbages ami dried beans, as well as articles of clothing, shoes and one or two old hats—were donated by the genorous Christians of Harrisburg and 'vicinity at last evening's "Night of Re joicing," when practically every per son entering the tabernacle gave a "pound" package. The occasion was a success in every way even to making the ushers per spire for the first time in the seven weeks. Some of thom took off their coats and all were dustv as millers or grocer boys as they handled the thou sands of articles given at the doors. Prooessipn Lasts All Day The procession of supplies began early in the afternoon and continued until the preaching began last night. Lots of things were delivered in wag <:.s and an entire truck load arrived from Steelton. Many more things from the Steelton campaigners were left at McCurdy's store for immediate distri bution in the smoky town. Noticeable among the donators last night was a party of men from the Brelsford Packing plant, each one of whom carried a bucket of lard and deposited it on the pile at the front of the tabernacle platform. Aside from the donations brought to the service therfe were orders for more bulky materials. Six or seven tons of coal were pledged in written requisitions on various coal dealers, to be delivered when directed by the per sons having the distribution in charge. Dr. Stough announced that all letters nnd requests for assistance would be referred to the officers of the Asso ciated Charities who will take charge of the donations. To Distribute Food Carefully Miss Hazel Clark, general secretary of the Associated Charities of this city, has taken charge of the several tons of food donated by the thousands of people at the tabernacle services. All of the contributions were removed and stored for use as they are need ed. Each call for help at the charities office, at 5 North Market Square, will be looked up to see if the family or person is really in need before the help is given. This must be done. Miss Clark said this morning so that if this were not done many people would ask for help that were not in absolute need of it. Announcement was also made that the donations received at the taber nacle will not bo given out in Christ mas baskets on Christmas dav, but th it other contributions will be used for that purpose. Scores of appeals for aid were made this morning but the charities secretary will investigate each ease thoroughly to avoid fraud. Dr. Stough announced that the con templated collection for the sufferers in Belgium had been called off at the suggestion of the executive committee, who, he said, considered that enough of a burden has already been imposed on the supporters of the campaign, and that local charities should come first. He said the executive commit tee felt that the Belgians have already been well considered by people of the city and will receive more attention throughout the winter from other sources. $2 a Head For Stough Suggested The Rev. W. H. Dallman, of the Market Street Baptist Church, made a plea for a munificent offering to the Stough party next Sunday and said that no matter how large it might be, it would not be commensurate to the vast amount of good done in the citv through the efforts of the evangelistic party. He said that a price of .$2 a head for the souls saved would not be too much. The sermon last night was from the text, 'Remember Lot's Wife," and Dr. Stough emphasized the tragedy of worldly living and the certainty of death He said that any people who have not hit the trail are a little near er heaven as a result of the campaign and some are only one step from the brink of conversion, but they are nevertheless examples of the tragedy of the unsaved. "I do not want to harp on the awful ness of death and its terror, but I want to impress that it is a good thing to consider the problem of death and the inevitable day. Remember, it is possible to be almost saved and vet to be lost. Many men have said to me, 'You can't imagine, Dr. Stough, the amount of good you have done me,' but my great fear for this campaign ir that it has brought them only to the brink of decision." Describes Building of the Ark He described in his inimitable style the building of Noah's ark and the skepticism of the carpenters who worked on it and laughed at the "old fool who was building a boat on dry land." He told how the farmers of that day went into their kitchens and made popcorn and fudge and said "shucks" when the forty days' rain started. He then went on to tell of Dot set ting up his home in the best quarters of Sodom and he gave an amusing de scription of Mrs. Dot and her "high society" aspirations. He impersonated Ma and Pa Dot at the coming-out party of their daughters, Mary and Anna, how they retired early and allowed the young folks to carry on their high jinks without watching. "Mrs. Dot is a synonym for many society women of Harrisburg to-day i who sacrifice their daughters' good names and character In order to usher |them into the world of prestige and I power that society offers. Dike her, [they damn their daughters by sacrific ing their home to worldly and Godless living." He said Dot was a partner to his wife and in fact more to blame, be cause a woman will usually follow where a man will lead. Pet Sins in the Way of Many He spoke of the folly of trying to | save the people whose hearts are in j worldly possessions and pleasures and said that most people remain uncon verted because some pet sin is in the way that they are unwilling to give up. He described the awful 3cenes at the Iroquois Theater fire in Chicago. "Some day will be your last, and your opportunity will be gone. Don't say you have plenty of time; to-morrow may be your judgment day! The lum ber for the caskets of some of you may already be sawed, and the needle threaded for your shrouds. It is "now or never" for some of you: there-Is only one time that God has given, and now Is the accepted time. If you de lay, the opportunity will be cut off as it was for Lot's wife." „ 53 Hit the Trail There were fifty-three trailhitters from an audience about three-quarters full. Dr. Stough described it as "a great night." Beautiful "Sunset Service" Old hearts were cheered at the most | beautiful of the afternoon services of the campaign yesterday when the aged and infirm and poverty stricken shut ins of the city were the special guests at a "Sunset Service" at the tabernacle. More than 150 of these persons in ad dition to a comparatively large audi ence of church people listened to Dr. Stough's comforting sermon on "The Crowning Glory of Old Age." He spoke of age as the time of coun sel and mediation, when though the physical eyes and ears may be dull, the inward eye of understanding is opened to things never felt before. After the service the shut-ins were returned to their hontes by automo biles given for the purpose by persons active in the campaign. Miss Palmer with a committee of women had charge of tho transportation and at tended to the comfort and happiness of the unfortunate ones. The name "Sunset Service" applies directly to I the meeting prepared for those who are on the evening side of life. Comfortable chairs and cushions were brought to the tabernacle for the old folks and every attention was given to make them feel at home. Many of them gave testimonies of Christian lives that were an inspiration to all the young and active persons in the audience.
