 A Remarkable Revival
 "The revival that has just come to a
 close at the Cumberland Presbyterian church, and which was conducted by the Rev. F. E. Hendrick of Tennessee, was one of the most successful ever held in this district, and was remarkable in sev- eral ways" said local minister today. "The series of meetings lasted two weeks and there were something near two hundred conversions. Out of this two hundred a great majority have placed their membership with the local churches and there are still others that have sgnifed their intention to join some church.
 Tt is too often the case that after a revival the converts are neglected and are soon allowed to drift away and back into their old ways of living.
 Nearly one hundred and fifty of the
 converts of the meeting just closed have
 joined the different churches in Ensley
 and there are possibly a score or more yet to come forward for membership" Notes and Personals. Mrs. M. A. Reagor of Boonville, Tenn. is spending a few days with her son, the Rev. l.. A. Reagor, in this city. Miss Dora Naugher of Fayette, Ala, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Frank Smith, on Avenue E.

Where Idols Are Made.

From the Bankok Times
 Probably the only idol factory in the world is now located in the city of New York where the idols of all countries are reproduced and new ones manufact- ured. India gets the largest shipment. but from some countries even further east comes an ever-increasing demand. The average foreign shipment varies from a couple of hundred to a thousand images every thirty days. By far the largest number of idols are made of plaster, coated. oiled and polished to resemble old bronze.
