space in your valuable paper for rev
dots from our little town.
Cordova is a prosperous little town

Methodist, one Southern Methodist,
one Christian, one Missionary Baptist
and one Holiness. They all have had
three big revivals this summer and
fall with about 200 baptized. Every
church has their own Sunday school.

from one of your subscribers to have
their name erased on account OF the
saise on subscription. This, l think, is
very unwise. The Editor gave good
reason for this raise. have been

ia no one truth of Scripture to which
so much prominence is given as that

references to it being found in it.
There is q reason for this prominence.
The coming of Christ is the consum-
nation of the Christians hope the
event which changes the Christian S
experience from mortality to immor'
tality from the sorrows, labors, priva'
tions and agonies of the present life
to the joys and everlasting felicities Of
the life to come. Other hopes art
set before us in the Scriptures but the
h0re of the coming of Christ is the
tfowning hope of all in that it usher'
