Union Revival /
Meetings
Began On Last Sunday
Night AndAn Unusu-
ally Large Crowd
Gathered.

The Uni0n Revival Meetin be-
gan last Sunday night. An unusual
ly large crowd of people gathered
and the church was taxed beyond
its seating capacity. Some think
that three or four hundred people
were turned away. Rev. W. B.
Rutledge preached the opening SER
mon. The large Chorus Choir OF
some sixty five voices rendered very
fine music. This Choir has been
organized by Rev. Robert L. Staple
ton and is perhaps the largest and
finest Choir that has ever sung in
Maryville. Rev. J. W. Browning
preached Nor day afternoon. A
large number of chairs were placed
in the church on Monday afternoon
80 as to prevent if possible the neces-
sity for an er-fow meeting in one
of the churches.
Rv. Bascom Waters preached his
first sermon on Monday night. He
has his own original way of preach
ing. He has much homely, native
wit. He tells some stories that set
people to laughing and keeps them
wondering what he is going to say
next, but all the time he is driving
home some important gospel truth
He knows human nature and under
stands the man on the street. He
is a master of men and has the gift
of leadership.
Next Sunday each Church will
hold it's regular morning worship as
usual and each pastor will be in his
own pulpit. The Sunday Schools
of the town will meet at their APP
pointed places at the morning hour.
The Revival Service will be held in
the afternoon on Sunday at 2:30.
