AS announced last week in The Banner
the singing and preaching evangelists,
Kerr Bros. of Detroit, opened a reviva
meeting at the Methodist church and al
ready spirit of great interest is begin
ming to crop out in the meetings.
The meetings opened Sunday morning
with a powerful sermon by Rev. j. Med.
Kerr. one of the brothers who are heart
and soul in the work before them. He
found the theme for his address in H. Cor

verse: Let US cleanse ourselves from
all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, per-
fecting holiness in the fear of God"
The speaker called special attention to
the fact that to make revival success
spiritually the church Itself must be in
harmony with the work of grace and if
any of its members were impure in the
flesh or spirit the work Of purifcetion ano
regeneration must begin at home first be-
fore those who sought for the salvation OF
other results. The great and mighty
Ruler of the universe has said. Fl will re-
move all uncleanliness; will purify you

this meant the ministers, and sometimes
even they have to be cleansed before the
divine power of the mighty God can be
felt in a community. There is an old
adage, Like priest, like people, and
would hate TO come here today and ask
you to accept the blessed promises if in
my heart felt that was impure in the
sight of God We must be pure before
