The Baptist revival meeting


closed last Sunday at the morn
ing service in an Informal man
ner. A heavy rain came up just
at the time for the evening SER
vice and as this was generally
understood to be the closing
sermon Of the meeting, it closed
without the usual forms marking
such an event. The fact that it
rained almost every day during
the meeting, caused many to
stay away and several times
services were omitted entirely
on this account. 1t will be
remembered that the Baptist
revival meeting closed last year
in the same identical manner as
that just closed-with big
rain. There were two additions
to the church in the persons of
Mrs. NJ. G. Chamlee and Mrs.
Geo. w. Chesser. Rev Riddle,
who conducted the meeting, i'm.
pressed his hearers as being a
talented Christian gentlemen,
possessed of great earneStness

plain and practical and by his
method Of illustration he al
ways made his points clear. His

illustrations together with an
occasional dash of humor, seem
