The Ocala Revival

The revival meeting at the
Ocala Baptist church will likely
close tonight. 1t has been in
progress eleven days. The pas
tor did the preaching for the
first four days, then Rev. NJ. NJ.
WambOldt took up the work and
has been edifying and deIighting
the large audiences which have
assembled morning and evening
to hear him, by telling the simple
story Of the gospel in his own
graceful and eloquent style. 1t
is admitted bN AL who have
heard him that he is one Of the
most polished and entertaining
pulpit orators Of our times, and
while there have been but few
public professions on the part Of
the uncovertcd, yet it is believed
that much good has been accom-
plished by +hc series Of meet ing>.
Pastor bOgart is a man Of great
energy and strong faith in God
and seems to be Just the man for
Ocala. His dignified, manly
bearing and social, genial DISPOSE
ton have already won for him a
large place IN the hearts of the
people. Our prayer IS that he
may be abundantly blessed in
unifying and building up the
church, and leading many souls
to Jesus.
