Cur revival meeting is still in
progress and is accomplishing q
great work, under the sunervision
Of Rev. Mr.. Score. Our people are
inclined to believe that Mr.. Score
came to Latin as a special blessing
from God, as he Is the first minister
who has had the coura re- to Iaborin
this field OF sin and wickedness. 1t
is said that he walked ali the wav
from Norway to Latin and at once
erected the cross of Jesus Christ
and unfurled the banner of religion,
WAR on Satan, sin and wickedness.
declaring his determination to stay
here and do battle until The last sin
Iner had been brought within the
fold; and today there are not over
SIX persons in or about Latin who
do not belong to the church and
lead u pixls iifa-and still the good
work goes on; ami ere ms meeuhTvs
closes there will not be sinner left
in this once wicked little city. Ger
tainly it is not claimed that Mr..
Score has been alone in this work,
but it is true that it was he who laid
the foundation, and such work as be
could not complete alone he has ac-
compIished by securing the aid Of
others. In this revival he has had
associated with him Rev. Mr.. Dod-
son Of Marquand, who is the great
est preacher in southeast Missouri
to-day. He came here ten days ago,
an entire stranger, and by his ora
tory and eloquence he has won the
esteem, admiration and love of our
entire people. Next, he had asso-
ciated with him during this entire
meeting Rev. Miss Katie Ebrecht, t,
who is an impressive and eloquent
speaker. Miss Ebrecht has i'm
pressed onr women with the fact
that it is not so hard for woman to
Hay aside her pride and vanity and
take up the cross Of Christ, and that
by the constant practice of the Chris
tian virtues woman is capable Of
reaching Il high standard Of perfec
ton. Miss Ebrecht does not try tc
! attract attention by adornihg hel
person with fine dress or with jew.
elry and diamonds, but her deport
t ment is so perfect and her counte
. nance SO beaming-full of purity and
/ holiness that she is indeed beautiful
: and lovable in the eyes of all Chris
tians. She will take away from her
