Value in Business.
At last nights meeting, Mr.. Culpep-
per said that a revival has a money
value for business men, and that the
business men of the north contribute
money for the purpose of holding re-
vivals He said that sermons on
honesty had a great influence with
men in making them pay their debts.
He recited several instances, giving
names, some of which happened in
Pensacola, of men who had returned
stolen money and paid outlawed debts
after attending revival services.
He then spoke of lot or field being
purchased and dedicated to God and
church work. He said that the min
listers in the city of Birmingham

such enterprises in every way.

campaign in Georgia, and said that
the president of the w. G. T. u. had
a son living in Pensacola. and that
Pensacola was to be congratulated, for
that woman had done more for prohi-
bition in Georgia than any other liv-
ing person.
PRAYER for Prohibition.
Dr. Culpepper said that there was
an avalanche coming, and hat there
was great upheaval of feeling
against liquor, and that, since prayer
could bring about anything, and that
prayer had mostly brought prohibition
to Georgia, he wanted every good
church member in this city to pray for
the salvation of Por sacola and Of
Florida. He said that he believed that
Pensacola would go dry in answer to
prayer, and he believed that the next
legislature of Florida woul1 enact
law, driving whiskey from the entire
state.
He concluded with telling several
little incidents of what prayer had
done, and could do.
The Younger Culpepper.
Rev. Burke Culpepper then spoke,
and asked those who were not
ashamed to say that they were not
Christians, but wanted to be. to come
up to the altar and be prayed for.
About twenty people responded, which,
he said, he considered an excellent
showing so early in the meeting.

impressed those who heard him
very much.
