the movement on foot looking toward
better law governing child labor in
this state.
The revival services being conducted
by Evangelist, G. w. Elliott and Miss
Catherine Graves, are increasing in
interest every night. Every available
space is occupied and often many are
turned away. There have been con-
versions at every meeting for several
days. A baptistry has been put in
the building and there have been
people buried with Christ in baptism
every night this week. The interest
is so great that the people are coming
a distance OF six or seven miles to
attend the meetings. The meetings
will continue all of next week anyway,
and it will pay anyone to go a long
distance to see the charts and hear
Miss Graves, the sweet singer.
