camden FOR CHRIST"

The Lord hath done great things
in Camden since the beginning of
the present revival nearly four
weeks ago, when the Christian slo-
gan, camden for Christ" was
taken up in the Methodist meeting
and continued through the Baptist
meeting.
Through the preaching and the
teaching of strong and valiant SER
wants of the Lord and the prayers
and faithful, personal work of the
Christians of all denominations
about one hundred souls have been
converted, and it is impossible to
say when the revival will close.
Not for many years has there
been such display of the power of
God in Camden; in fact, we doubt
if ever there was such strong and
constant move here. Great crowds
continue to assemble at the daily
services, and never has such inter-
est been manifested by Christians
in taking Camden for Christ.
