Tuesday morning | jumped into my
high water boots, gathered up my cir.
Gus umbrella, lit my meer sham and
hiked. The first person | called OF
was Mr.. Samuel Stivison, one OF
Goodhope's enterprising farmers who
spent very little time in deciding he
wanted the Democratic Sentinel.
This was encouraging. and | again
hit the pike. Dodging between snow
flakes and huggipg the fences l sue
ceeded in reaching the home of Mr.
Jacob Kline, ''just as the sun went

and favorable known to many of your
readers. Rev. Folk delivered very
able and convincing sermon and after
concluding invited seekers to the
mourners bench. Three young people
responded. After about two hours of
prayer and song one professed conver-
sion and there was rejoicing and
praise singing. All told, there has
been three conversions and two at the
bench, not very fiatteritg outlook,
but not at all discouraging.
The next morning, after thanking
Mrs. Kline for my very enjoyable en-
tertainment and receiving a very
pressing invitation, if we happen that

This was a pretty long and tiresome
hike and it was after dark when |
reached the home of Isaac Flowers,
where was made welcome and con-
Portable for the night. The entire
family were preparing to attend re-
yiyal in progress at Pisgah.
| accepted an invitation to go with
them, we arrived at the church about |
half an hour before meeting opened,
but found the house crowded to its
fullest capacity, standing room for
about one-third of the congregation. |
The services were opened with song |
and prayer, after which Rev. j. l..
Baker preached one of the most in
teresting and comprehensive sermons
it has ever been our pleasure to hear,
and was well paid for his effort, evil
denced by the score or more seekers
who embraced his invitation to turn
from sin. Rev. Baker was very ma
terially assisted in the song services,
which prevailed during the entire time
the mourners were at the altar, by
Mr.. Elmer Dupler of Rockbridge, and
viii Edwards. They knew just
where and when to sing and added
TO one of the best reyi-

remarkable revival. Ii was Rev.
