A Correction.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 I wish to correct little mistake I see in the correspondence from Vilonia in the last issue. It says Rev. Jernigan of Boston, Mass. has been holding a ten days meeting at the Holiness College. Rev. Jer- nigan is from Pilot Point, Tex, and the work was not abandoned, but put in its full time. The elev- en o'clock service took up the time of chapel service. The meeting continued I3 days and resulted in several conversions and sanctiica- tions and glorious revival.
 It is being rumored that the Hol- mess people here have split up, but 1 want to say that it's not so, for we stand together heart and hand in the Holiness movement. There are some Holiness people tn a t moved here from other parts of the state who belong to the Holiness church. They organized a Holi- ness church at this place and some of the Free Methodists joined with them and we all took a VOW that we would stand by each other heart and hand without a rival in the glorious work in the Holiness movement and allow each one their privilege when 1t comes to church affiliation. You can belong to the church you want to. If you are in full sympathy with the Holiness movement, you are welcome in our midst. We are not narrow in our privileges but broad enough to invite the world to this wonderful Salvation. We cannot afford to become sour over this thing but to keep sweet and have the honey of Gods love running down our lips.

that they do both.

as well as for its ingenuity of plot
and development. The fast and funny
action is centered around nine char
acters who become involved in a
confusion intensely mystifying to
them, but numorously clear to the
audience. John Smith, an English
gentleman, WHO owns a racing stable
and John Smith a curate, together
with their respective wives. friends

tive furnish the many laughs that
make the piece one of the most pop
ular in the repertoire.
