COOPERATIVE MEET
INC STILL MOVES

Wednesday night and afternoon II
rained and many were kept at home,
But over 1000 people We're present
at the. service. This meeting is CO.
operative meeting embracing all the
churches of Ardmore, in charge of
Lockett Adair, the noted evangelist.
Mr.. Adair is the most momentous
evangelist in the south today. He is
attractive, constraining, impelling. lie
has a message full OF love and com
passion He feels and believes that
the message is from God and deliver
it he must. His messages are full
OF wit and wisdom. He thunders out
the commandments of Sinai and then
seasons them with the salt of the gos
pei. He appeals to the heart, life
and conscience of the masses; with an
irresistible power he moves straight
on to the climax with the rapid move
ment of an Elijah and then with the
telling appeal of a Paul, and again
with the tenderness of the all COM
passionate savior.
Wherever Mr. Adair goes men and
women of all classes are responding
and tearing away from sin and ac-
cepting Christ The great crowd who
sat last night and listened to the ad-
dress on Weights that Hang to Men
and Hold Them Down." We're moved
as no religious audience was ever
moved in Ardmore before. And here
we want to give the PEOPLE of Ard
more an account ef letter written
by the county Judge of MCCulloch
county, Texas;
Brady, Texas, Aug. I, 1911.
believe that God sent Lockett
Adair to Brady. Since have been a
resident of this town. have had oc-
casion several times to make mention
that the Brady people were good
and honorable citizenship, but the
poorest observers of Christian relig-
ion of any people whom | have ever
known. True, Brady had churches
and had members OF the church, but
in the matter of religious zeal it fell
into the frigid zone with a few de-
glees to spare. When viewed from
the standpoint of the sinner as ! was
then, it appeared that the church mem
bership had nothing worth commend
ing to the sinner, but thank God, there
is another people here since the com
ing of this noted evangelist, and now
| an ardent Christian spirit prevails.
/ There was an old Brady. a Brady OF
sin; thank God that old Brady is dead
and we have instead a living Brady
alive with a true Christian spirit and
! harmony and good will prevails with
| all men. The prayer meetings lnsn-
| tuted by the business men and held
daily during the progress of the meet
/ ing. and continued weekly since the
/ close has been one of the most i'm
/ pressive divine services it has ever
| been my privilege to behold. Indeed,
I have never Witnessed anything to
compare with this service. have be-
| held over one hundred strong men
/ kneeling in a store where they held
! their meetings and | have seen the
/ tears trickle down their monty cheeks
| and heard their voices tremble with
emotion as they invoke the blessings
| of God upon the town, but through
/ their tears | could see a smile of Joy
| heavenly joy-over their faces.
! Such devotion and manifestations of
happiness in a religious assembly com
| posed largely of new converts, fell
/ little short of miracle and the most
/ skeptical were compelled to acknowl-
! edge that the power of God was
| abroad in the town. I thank God in
my own behalf for the meeting and
! for the good done to others.

County Judge.
