these accusations there las been more
or less dscord among the clergy.
And while this fact is known and is
being discussed by almost every citizen
ana In well-nigh every home, there is
being conducted In Oak Grove Baptist
Church revival service, and the Rev.
Mr.. Woodward is preaching each night.
He Is not asking the people to whom
lle cxpounds the gospel to join either his
church or the church In which he Is
preaching. but he is arguing for q cleaner
lifc for sinners TO come unto Christ

Woodward) did not stop proselyting that
he CDR. CrldlinJ would denounce him from
the pulpit. Rev. Mr.. Woodward said
that he replied to this by saying that he.
