Work is exceedingly scarce and money
eorrespondingly scarcer.
The weather for the most part has
been very favorable to the poor
Should indications prove true, the
weather will be much colder and
doubtless there will ne much suffering
among our people
Our people show marked improve
ment in their attendance at the
church services in all branches of the
work
Revival services are held every night
at the Fifth Church, conducted by
Rev. s. L. Johnson, the great revival
list Ha Is q very earnest, impressive
speaker, and il the people will heed the
advice given. much good will be ac-
complished. Several persons have ap-
piled to be prayed for, but no CONVEX

taken hold like old soldiers
We noticed that the 9Th Church has
had some reeded improvements made,
both in and around the church Sex
ton William Burford has given the
building general cleaning. We also
hear that some OF the good church
workers are organizing a Church Aid
and Sinking Fund Society. A good
move, for We believe such an orgsniza-
ton is greatly needed and can do much
good services
= Our River View brothers are strug-
CLING hard against ain and trying TO
build up both church and school. Pas
cor George z Johnson seems to have
quite a hard pull Brethren. there are
not enough people near by to properly
support two churches why not come
Et"gether and all pull together TO build
up one strong healthy church, for il
takes y close compact, strong christian
army to kill out sin and drive down
the host of Satan. What we need is TO
accomplish the best results and the
greatest good TO the largest number
possible Brethren, think on these
things"
