The costume with the circular skirt

REVIVAL MET WITH
GLOWING SUCCESS
YESTERDAY

Yesterday was a great day in the
revival. The sunrise prayer meet
ing was we'll attended. Quite num-
Der of earnest souls met for prayer
before the king of the day made his
appearance in the east, while the
dew was still on the grass and the
day was new and fresh from the
hand of God they poured out their
petitions to the heavenly Father for
His blessing and guidance.
A very pleasant and inspiring fea-
ture of the day was the arrival, at
II O'Clock of two coach loads of peo-
pile from Inverness to attend the
meeting. The eavngelists came to
Lakeland from Inverness where they
had just held revival that brought
more than ninety souls into the
kingdom and of course were pro-
foundry grateful to these people for
giving such an expression of inter
est in them and their work among
us
After an interesting and strong
sermon there was one protested faith
in Christ and four united with the
church. The Inverness people had
brought dinner with them so the
little grove beside the church soon
became busy place with an old,
fashioned scene of dinner on the
grounds in which many of our home
people took part, having also brought
their dinners to the church so that
there could be good fraternal time
together. The song service at 2:3t
o'clock was good From 3 to 4
O'Clock was an experience meeting
filled from the first to the last min,
utes. one feature of which was the
singing of the old songs in the old
fashioned way which carried us back
to the days of the fathers. At the
close was most touching scene
when the congregation shook hands
with those mothers and" fathers in
Israel who had passed their Goth
year in the journey to the better
land
The meeting was moved to the
Methodist church for the night ser
vice and the house was full to over
flowing. The preacher brought hi
congregation fact to face with God
There were ten who protested con
version at this meeting, making
total of % to date. The meeting:
will be continued this week at thu
Methodist church and it is hoped al
Christians will unite in the work
Come, 60 with us and we will d.
thee good" REPORTER.

do not see why Lakeland should
sell the light and water plant to get
improvements, when by enlarging
the plant and extending the service,
the saving on the production over
the present cost would be all the re-
duction any consumer could ask for.
| once heard a successful business
man of Lakeland make the statement
that he would take the light and wa
ter plant at what 1t was worth, put
in an equipment that was up to date
and that would take care of the bust
ness, would reduce the cost to the
consumer and at the end of ten years
would make the city a present of the
entire outfit.
The above mentioned article states
that the citizen must pay ten cents
per X. w. for light and one dol
lar for 1000 gallons of water, and
at tax paying time this same citi-
zen must pay his part of $500 or
be sold out for taxes. think these
wo charges can be separated so as
to show up in much different light.
Let us say that the consumer has to
pay ten cents per x. W. for light
and one dollar for 1000 gallons of
water and that the taxpayer or Mr..
Citizen is the one that has to pay
the SO, 500 interest, for which the
light and water plant returns to him
every year $9,5S5 in free water and
light, which would go long ways
