The evangelistic meetings Of the

which are causing many persons to
think more about Jesus Christ and sal
walton, and to read the Bible. The
coming Of Brother Cross is great
blessing to the town, as he is a man Of
remarkable learning and wonderful
preacher Of Jesus. Let all good people
help the work Of making Deming bet
