Winchester. Texas, February Swim
chester has long been proverbial for its
many excellent people. but the churches
have fingered here in a semi stranded
condition and Simon pure religion was at
a low obb But, praise Jesus. such Is no
longer the case. Rev. Mr.. Childers and
son of Houston have done most excellent
work. preaching in most telling way the
old gospel. which has proven to be, hero
as elsewhere in their ministry, the power
OF God unto salvation OF many precious
souls. our people were amazed to think
that Winchester could have such u revival
These men of God don't know how to fail
and any charge is indeed fortunate II these
men go. for they prove a blessing both to
the church and pastor. They are both full
of revival fire and are courageous for their
soul. j. o. Childers. being an ex-pastor
of thirteen years standing. knows how
to take hold and help brother pastor
out. and never fails to do It. His long
and honorable relation to the Methodist
church, together with his faithful ministry
speaks volumes for him. These dear broth
ers are consecrated to the work of saving
souls and will go to any pastor anywhere.
They have a tent that will seat several
thousand people, and render the best
singing to be had anywhere. Winchester
people will always have a warm spot for
these people. We have had here about
thirty conversions. They are now at West
Point
Mrs. Woolsey has been quite sick, and is
still In bed. The kindness shown us here
by these Winchester people has bSen with
