The union evangelistic meetings
being held in this town are drawing
large audiences. Lewis E. Smith, the
conductor, is not only a good speaker
but fine singer. These talents COM

sane, straightforward appeal, and his
preaching of the straight gospel have
already won many hearts to the cause
of Christ. From now on every service
will have some feature of special
interest. Tonight Mr.. Smith will
touch upon the ever present question
of amusements and strive to help
settle, for some at least, this perplex-
ing problem and Mrs. w. M. Wright
will sing. On Thursday evening a
special invitation is extended to all
the fraternal organizations of this
community to be present: Mr.. Smith
is member of one of the prominent
orders. His subject will be, "Do and
Know" G. B. Webster will sing. On
Friday night he will give his thrilling
address. my Testimony-or the Story
of a Life" Mrs. Wright will also
sing Friday evening. There are three
great services planned for Sunday,
which will be the closing day of these
special meetings. At 1045 o'clock
in the morning the subject will be,
1.-The Man-Christ Jesus At 3
o'clock there will be meeting for
MEN ONLY. Subject, Change Your
Hitching Post" Every man in Barton
should hear this address, At o'c clock
comes the great farewell service.
