Individual contributions to the collections at the Sunday tabernacle yesterday were rather meager, comparing them with those of the usual opening Sundays of the evangelist’s meetings. There was not a coin of a larger denomination than $1 in the collection, which ranged all the way down to pennies.
It was estimated by “Joe” Spiece, the tabernacle builder, 19,000 people attended the three meetings yesterday. A collection of $421.51 was contributed, making an average of 2.2 cents per capita for the entire day.
