night. The meetings have been grow
ing in interest and in excitement as
we'll, and the services on Sunday night
were better attended than any meeting
during the series. Rev. Scott Jones, Of
Decatur City, has been conducting the
meetings for the last two weeks. His
language is sometimes more forcible
than ornate and grammatical. He is
not afraid to lay bare the naked truth
and says just exactly what he thinks
and in his own way. He does not handle
the gospel with gloves on and some
times feels the necessity Of taking off
his collar and alpaca coat. His style of
preaching seemed to please his hearers
and good deal of good was accomplish

fessed holiness and others signified
their intentions of becoming members
of the church. Mt. Ayr Record.
