Large Tabernacle Built For Bob Jones Revival in Quincy
A temporary tabernacle seating 3 500 with 14 000 feet of boards and a 500 member choir on the east side was erected. It features 12 double doors, red exit lights, many stoves and hundreds of electric lights, wide outward doors, a thick sawdust carpet, and 100 ushers. The structure, designed for windstorms, is rain and weather proof with good acoustics and safety plans. The revival will run six weeks with daily meetings, and proceeds minus a few days go to federated churches to cover building costs. Lumber from the tabernacle, about 2 500 in cost, will be sold at auction, with an estimated 1 200 recovered.
