the lands covered being directly above
Echo and from a mile to 10 miles
from Echo. The cost has been esti-

Men, Preacher Seeks Aid
for Work

Rev. J. l.. Griffin, the negro evangelist
and charity worker, has raised his big

has been preaching to large crowds of
negroes and white people. DR.. Griffin
comes we'll indorsed by prominent busi-
ness men of other towns where he has
been carrying on his gospel and charit-
able work.
While DR.. Griffin has been receiving the
liberal support of members of his aud
fences in their Sunday contributions the
demands made upon him for charitable
work are such that the present income is
inadequate and he desires to enlist the
aid of business men and other outsiders
who do not attend his meetings but who
would like an opportunity to, contribute
toward laudable work.
DIR. Griffin has with him large list Of
prominent men who have contributed to
his work in other cities. Among these
appear the names of mayors of three
cities and the governor of a state, besides
host of prominent business men. In
Los Angeles a number of business men
have contributed.
DR.. Griffin reports having fed more than
5000 children free of charge. He desired
to further extend this charitable branch
of the work and wants active helpers and
financial support.
He gives original and graphic interpre'
tations of the Scriptures. Besides his SER
mons, friendly gatherings and social re-
unions are feature of the use to which
the big tent is being put.
Thomas C. Thornton, lawyer of this
city, has the Following to say regarding
the evangelist:
THE life work of Rev. ]. L. Griffin is
an object lesson for all men. For more
than twenty-five years he has rendered
aid to the sick and afflicted. DR.. Griffin
is a clean, honest, good man and is
worthy of the aid and confidence of the
public"
Anyone willing to render financial aid
can mail all contributions to DR.. j! l..
Griffin, East Ninth and Mateo streets
DR.. Griffin wants to build home for
poor and orphan children, and is doing all
he can to raise money for this purpose.
