Revival Meetings

The good people of Tupelo are cordi-
ally invited to attend the revival
meetings at the Baptist church which
will begin next Sunday, and continue
ten days or two weeks.
If the question should be asked, why
have a revival? NY answer would be
The town needs it.
The Christian life, strength, peace,
and faithfulness will be promoted by
it.
The unsaved of our town need it, Let
the world find in u churches what iG
deeply needs and anxiously looks for;
then it's language will be, 1--WE will go
with you for we see that God is with
you,'
God demands it.
The great work which Christ has as
signed us is that of making disciples.
This we cannot do without the joy of
salvation in our own hearts. We must
be in fellowship with God, and have the
power of the Holy Spirit if we would
lead men to Christ. Our motives should
be pure. The outcome of the spirits
presence and power in our heart. We
should have in view the glory and onor
of God, and the Salvation of our fell
low man.
Should you ask, how may we secure
a genuine revival of religion in Tupelo?
| would say, By faith unfeigned. By
earnest prayer. Faithful preaching of
the gospel, Active christian work.
Whatever thy hands find to do, do
with thy might.
We do earnestly request the Christian
people not only to attend these evange-
listic meetings but to assist US in pro-
noting a genuine revival.

An Apology

We want to apologize to the many
people that attended our sale, and
found the doors closed at different times
during the day, as there was so much
larger crowd than we expected, that
they made it necessary for us to close
the doors until the many customers that
were on the inside of store were
waited on. We have so adjusted our
sale that we will have the same bar
gains all through the sale. OF course
those coming first must necessa rily re-
ceive the first benefits. We especially
urge upon you to attend as soon as
possible. For opportunity like this may
never be yours again.
