Union Revival Closed.
A great work done.

ing which was brought TO close IN
OUT city Monday night.
The meeting had been in progress
since Sunday. March 8. and was
conducted by Evangelist B. Marvin !
Harris, assisted by our local pastors
and Mr.. F. r. Slower. organizer and
Header Of the greatest chorus choir
ever assembled in Hickman. II
would be hard 10 enumerate the
benefits our people derived from this
wonderful meeting. The visible
results we're about three hundred
conversions and great tidal wave
Of morality that will be long felt
long talked of-in this city and It's
vicinity.
Few men are 50 well adapted TO
meet the requirements Of this par
ticular field as Rev Harris. He is
what nigh, be termed a man's man
striving most especially to save
lthe souls Of men. His Sunday night
services we're for men only, and on
many occasions, for lack Of room,
excluded the ladies from his audi
enoe in order TO keep men within
his hearing. Il is almost needless
to say that he is a man OF strong
personal magnetism-plain, sensible
thoroughly masculine. His manner
OF speech had the jingle Of every
day life-deft IN his art Of illus,ra-
ton and persuasion, appealing TO
every age. he has a way of Whit
ting away OF his point With deliber-
alton and detail that is unique. 10
say the least-and vithal. so PLAN
and accurate that any child could
see and comprehend. He never
mentioned this or that church-jusi
preached the sold sine religion. ="
Our previous acquaintance With
him proves 70 US that he grows IN
both public and private esteem 10 an
exceptional degree. and no doubt he
Is the bes, loved Evangelis, that ever
visited our city. This was evinced
by the ovation rendered him on the
night Of bis farewell address at the
Courthouse, also al the depot where

Mr.. Slower is a splendid fellow.
A little odd. but the oddly rubbed
off" as you knew him better. He
is faithful. persistent worker and
a musician TO bis finger tips. HIS
handling Of the large chorus choir
stamps him as a leader OF experience
and ability. His vocal and cornet
solos Eere a rare treat. and especi-
ally essential and effective In revival
work. The "Glory Song." Reap
ersn and Harvest Field" will be
familiar 10 US for many moons. He
left Monday night. amid the cheers
and good wishes Of friends, for
Illinois where he will visit his moth
CT.
Harris and Slower will likely 90
TO Texas to hold their next meeting
since they deferred an engagement,
there TO come to Hickman.
Five hundred dollars we're given
these gentlemen for their services
here, and vas made up by popular
subscription. They we're not over
paid. Il would be hard 10 over
estimate the good they have been
instrumental In accomplishing and
everybody is thankful that Hickman
had a real revival. Our churches

less benefited.
While the meeting had been in
progress for over four weeks, the
majority we're reluctant to see its
close.
May We all do our best 10 foster
and promote the good work left IN
our hands.
