San Angelo, Texas. October 4-The great
revival services which have been In pro-
gress for two weeks. conducted by Evan
gelists '.nssiter and Steele. closed Sunday
night. San Angelo has never. perhaps. ex-
perienced such a revival There were
about forty conversions, and the moral and
spiritual uplift which this western city
has received can not be estimated. These
men OF God preach no compromising COS
pei. They stand for truth and right and
God. and the stronghoids OF sin have re.
ceiyed a shock which. we trust, is but the
beginning OF an awful downfall. The
churches have all been revived and
strengthened. and a great host Of sinners
have turned their backs on sin. May the
richest blessings of Heaven attend these
brethren wherever God In His providence
may call them. is the wish and prayer
OF Gods people In San Angelo. J.R.
