Saturday Rev. and Mrs. Johnson
will leave for White, in BrOOkings
county. where that evening he will
open a three weeks revival. The cit.

over the coming of evangelist that
they have erected at quite an expense
a special tabernacle which will be
used for the revival meetings. White
according to the ensus of 1905, had
a population of less than 500 and the
fact that the citizens of such a small
town dug from their own pockets suf-
ficient funds to erect an auditorium is
highly complimentary to the citizens.
