Monday and Tuesday evenings
have been the best yet at the Cairo
Baptist church. The interest is be-
coming strong enough to bring out
the people during the rain Several
persons united with the church both
evenings, others showed more con-
Germ than usual.
Rev. Hodge preached better than
usual. The sermon last evening was
especially strong from Jan evange-
listic standpoint. 1t exalted the
Saviour and showed how to find Him.
When Mr.. Hodge was small boy
while returning home one dark night
he and his pony we're lost in forest
after vain attempts to find the way
home he tied the pony to tree and
lay down with his head in the saddle
but the bark of a dog in the distance
encouraged him to yell out for help
human vocie responded and he
found his way out directly 1t was
by faith in the voice that he wa!
rescued. This was his illustration o.
the saving faith in Christ.
Thu evening will be set apart fol
Sunday school service and Mr.. Hodge
will preach one of his most effective
sermons.
