A GOOD MEETING

Dear Editor: As l have been re- quested to write a report of the re- viyal meeting at Elgin, will say I be- gan Saturday night before the 2nd Sunday in this month. The meeting was very quiet one from the start, but the interest grew from the first ser vice, until the oldest settlers say the whole community was stirred as it never had been before. Old men and women, as well as the young, were made to fall on their knees and cry fer mercy. One man took the promise who had not heard Gospel sermon for seventeen years. The meeting con- tinued two weeks and when it closed IS had prefessed hope in Christ. To God be all the glory. At the close last Sunday, l2 united with the Baptist church and five with the Methodist church. Rev. o. C. Birdwell, the iun- for pastor of the Methodist church, was in the meeting from the first to the last, and I must say he is a very lov- able Christrian brother. Not a ripple or discord entered the work during the entire service. I also wish to ex- tend my gratitude to the good people of Elgin for the Cristian courtesies shown me while with them, for 1 never met a people where 1 was treated better.
 We left many earnest seekers at the close. In fact we doubt if there was any one who did not have ambitions to live better life and escape the wrath of God. Eternity alone can tell the good this meeting has done. My next appointment will be the second Sunday in September, when I will preach the funeral of Nose Stoner.
