REVIVAL SERVICES
CLOSED SUNDAY NIGHT
Two Weeks of Stirring
Sermons and Religious
Awakening.

Rev. B. F. Fraser, the Secretary OF
the Mission Board and evangelist OF
the North Georgia Conference, closed d
two weeks series of religious services
here Sunday night to packed church,
standing room being sought eagerly,
some 500 people probably being with
in the edifice, while hundreds were
turned away. 1t was memorable SER
vice.
In the afternoon st 3 O'Clock, the
church was crowded with a vast con-
gregation of men and boys. Rev.
B. F. Fraser preached with great
power and swayed the men at this meet
ing with an irresistible influence for
good, and received hundreds of pledges
to do right,
| Probably one of the most gratifying
services was that of Sunday morning,
| when Mr.. Fraser, in forceful sermon,
had the congregation to rise, en- masse
almost in pledging themselves to stand
by the churches.
As thank-offering for the great good
accomplished in the two weeks, q col
lection for foreign and home missions
was taken. The assessment on the Ma
rietta Methodist church by the confer
ence was $500. but when the contFibu-
lions were summed up 41,535 90 was
given, $1,l55 90 more than the assess
ment. This shows the religious feeling
and the spirit Of the Masters work.
Some 100 aceessions to the several
churches have been the result of this
grand religious revival, touching every
home and heart almost in the city, i'm.
parting deeper work Of grace in the
hearts of believers, and numbers of
estranged citizens were brought to
friendly terms again.
Rev. B. r. Fraser has done by the aid
Of the Holy Spirit wonderful work in
Marietta, and the good can only be COM
puted in the great judgment day.
Mr.. Fraser won a warm place in the
hearts of all denominations that will be
lasting
