South Elm Street is paved. A great
many machines have been purchased

now adds it's music to the innumerable
sounds going to make up the bedlam

Evangelists Get Busy.
Greensboro bids fair to be having
preaching and prayer meeting gong
on on South Elm Street at some place
or other every hour during the day
iul,t IA
its drum and cornet has for some time
been modestly and effectually preach
ing and praying somewhere about the
town Now there is another crop OF
evangelists or missionaries known As
the Holiness of the Lord or Sanctif1ed
people with a drum and street pipe
organ holding forth, singing, preach
ing and praying and exhorting-When
they are not drumming and rafting
the organ It is said that there Will be
q junction of the Holy Jumpers or
High Point and the Bush Burners of
DanVille formed at Greensboro on next
Sunday for special Sunday service
here on the streets. Whether there
is any rivalry between these four
modern forms of evangelization or
worshippers is not known, but the
Salvation Army generally goes alone.
If however the holiness, Bush Burn
ers, and the Holy Jumpers consolidate
their forces next Sunday, it will be
day long remembered in the religious
annals of Greensboro. But without the
Holiness meeting it promises to be
rafting day at best, and should they
develop rivalry or competition, there
is no telling what may happen.
