THE REVIVAL.

Big services have been held at
the Methodist Church every day
and night this week, at which the
building was taxed to its capacity.
The afternoon services for men
and boys yesterday was well at
tended, many business men closing
their stores. At the same hour n
service for women and girls was
held with Mrs. W. J. Thompson.
Besides the regular morning and
evening services another meeting
for men and boys will be held this
afternoon at 3 o'clock. There will
be meeting for women and girls
at the same hour with Mrs. Zana

The afternoon meeting tomorrow
at the church will be for women
and children at 3 o'clock. AT the

men and boys and the Davis choir
will be held at the church Sunday
at 3 p. m. There will be meeting

Never has such interest been
shown in any meeting heretofore
held in Camden. People have
been turned away, and at the even
ing services hundreds crowd about
the windows several times and fill
the church yard, eager to see and
hear. Every service is impressive
and touching, and are occasions of
many happy expressions of Joy in
the new life. Business houses
and homes have been thrown open
for prayer services, there have
been scores of happy conversions
and reclamations, men clasp hands
who passed each other in silence a
week ago, and glad shouts of
praise echo through the church.
Its great revival.
Rev. P. II. Davis, who continues
to hold the meetings at the church,
feels confident that the spirit of
the Lord is working in the con-
gregation and that Camden will
be taken for Christ.
