The Wayne Record says: "0ld
residents OF Wayne say they have
never seen as much interest taken
in religious services at this place
as is now being taken in the revi-
val which has been in progress for
some time past. Long before the
appointed hour for service the
large and connections church
building is crowded to its utmost
capacity, even standing room be-
ing taken. Rev. j. d. Garrett and
Rev. French are doing the grand
est work ever performed in this
county. They are bringing parents
to sense OF duty to their families
and their God, who have hereto
fore been unmoved by the pure and
noble teachings Of the Book of all
Books, the Bible"
