The title points to a tabernacle, a large temporary meeting hall, and "Sunday's" may refer to the evangelist Billy Sunday, whose revival campaigns in the early twentieth century drew crowds that often filled such structures. The record's title comes from unverified data noted by the Bain News Service, so the exact building, location and date remain unconfirmed. George Grantham Bain's agency supplied news pictures to newspapers from the early 1900s, and this glass negative, sized 5 by 7 inches or smaller, reflects the quick documentary work that circulated in that era. Viewers may want to study the crowd and surroundings for clues about the event.
