Revival Services.

Rev. W. s. Lagrone, evangelist for
the North Mississippi Conference, will
be here. Sunday, March 80, to hold re-
ligious services for several days. Ee
will be accompanied by his singer. I
call upon the Christian people of this
community to unite in prayer and
effort to make these services benc-
fetal.
Revivals are necessity. The cor
ditions of our day make them more
necessary than ever before in the
church history. AS special discussion
and attention are necessary for our
material growth, SO are special SER
vices necessary for the protection
and development Of a community's
moral and religious life. May our
hearts be of prayerful spirit that
many may be saved from their sins.
