St. Charles Avenue Nj. f. Church
New Orleans, La, Sept. %, 1906.
Editor Colfax Chronicle:
/ shall esteem it Q favor if you
will allow me to announce in your
paper, that holiness convention
will be held in New Orleans, La,
October. 10Th, to 2Sth, inclusive,
with services day and night during
that period.
Without disparagement to any
previous assemblage or effort, l
think this occasion will equal, if
not surpass, any heretofore in the
South, in behalf of the interests
and furtherance of the blessed
cause of entire sanctification.
1t will be conspicuous by reason
of the eminence, eloquence and
power of its pulpit orators, and by
the excellence of its music.
Doctor C.. j. Fowler of Boston,
Mass, President of the National
Holiness Association and Doctor
B. Carradine of st. Louis, Mo-, will
be the preachers of the occasion.
The singing will be led by Mr.. j.
M. and Mrs. M. j. Harris, husband
and wife, of Illinois, who have q
national reputation, and have sung
on ell sides of the oceans, and are
worth crossing them to hear.
The occasion greatly appeals to
the culture, intellect and spiritu-
ality of all Christians. The ear
will hear the most melting and
charming music. The mind will
be treated to the highest and deep
est thought, and the most convinc-
ing eloquence from the most re-
nowned and authoritative exposi-
tors of the doctrine of Scriptural
holiness. The soul will be enrich
ed by the most stirring and heart
reaching eloquence of glowing
spirituality. So
All are cordially invited to at
tend this grand and moving occa-
sion, which will prove a holy fes-
tival Of the soul to the participants.
Board and lodging may be had
at reasonable rates.
Truly yours,
Rev. d. II. KIRKPATRICK,

Unless an editor can control his
likes and dislikes in his paper he
ought to retire from it. just as a
juryman who carries his animosi-
ties into the jury box ought TO re-
tire from it. The editor who vents
his spleen in his paper is, far more
dangerous to the public than the
unfair jurymau, since the latter's
animosity may convict only one
man, while the vicious editor
makes hundreds unhappy and may
ruin entire families Galveston
