Buffalo, July 2.-The revival which
has been on here at the Baptist
church for the past three weeks, clos
ed Sunday night with greater inter-
est than at any time during the meet
ing. Rev. J. L. Willis of Morristown,
Tenn, has been doing the preaching,
and his sermons have bbeen forceful
and convincing and the results of his
labors are very gratifying and it is
hoped and believed will live. Satur-
day night seventy-two candidates
presented themselves for baptism,
which was performed by the pastor,
Rev. H. E, Hill, there were eighty
five to have been baptized but for
various reasons thirteen were not
present but will be baptised in the
near future. There have been one,
hundred and sixty-five additions to
the church, as a result of the meet
ing just closed. One hundred and
forty eight by baptism, and seven,
teen by letter. Quite nice sum
was presented to Rev. Willis Monday

people of Buffalo. During his short
stay among us he endeared himself
to the people generally and has left
behind him a most favorable inn
preston.
