REVIVAL SERVICES begin
FURLOW Lawn BAPTIST
Rev. Minor Addressed LARGE
Congregation

The revival meetings at Furlow
Lawn Baptist church are already Great
ing great interest, the services yes
terday and last night being largely at
tended and most profitable. Rev. Carl
Minor preached his first sermon of the
series at p. M, and proved to the
congregation that he is student of
Gods word, and a workman who is ia
niliar with the work which he so
forcefully presents. He presented most
eloquently the mission of Jesus, AMI
enforced the thought that Christs mis-
sion is our mission. AS Jesus mani
tested the name and nature of God ,
do Christians. AS Jesus gave to the
world, the word of God, so i0ust we
As Jesus kept the disciples, SO in a
sense every Christian is his brother ;
keeper" AS Jesus finished the wosl
which the Father gave him to do, so
must we give ourselves in entire cor
secration to our God-appointed mis-
sion. As Jesus glorified the Father s.
must we. The preachers message pro-
duced a profound impression upon an
who heard him.
Mr. Minor will preach today at p.
m. and at 7:9O p. m. 1t is hoped and
confidently expected that these NEE
ings will be productive of great good,
not only in Furlow Lawn Baptist, but
IN the entire city. All our PEOPLE
members OF other churches, and those
who are connected with no church are
cordially invited to hear the visiting
minister and get the beneatcf thes
special services.

AUTOS COLLIDED;
CAR SPLINTERED;
DRIVER INJURED
RESULT, RECKLESS RUNNING
Dangerous Accident Near
Americas Sunday

Alleged reckless running resulting in
a head-on collision near Americus Suu-
day afternoon smashed two cars
smashed one or two ribs of the driver
of the car, coming here from Reynolds
Ca, and inflicted lesser injuries. Tile
smashup occurred on the Americus
Andersonville road, six miles east O.
the city, and but for the fact that one
car had nearly stopped, might ha. :
been more serious.
Mr.. j, j. Lanier, with Mrs. LAME
and baby, were motoring slowly out
on the Andersonville road when they
were run into by the Reynolds car,
containing five men and driven by o.
g. cooper, OF that place.
The impact was so great that Mrs.
Lanier's baby was thrown from het
lap to the bottom of the car. All OF
the men in the order car were thrown
out, one of them sustaining fractured
rib The fact that Mr.. Lanier's car
had been brought almost to a STOP
when he saw the other car "zig-zag-
ging" towards him, probably accounts
for the fact that he and his wife and
babe escaped injury.
"The men were drinking" Mr. La
nier said yesterday, "and their car, a
Ford, was going at its top speed. /
shall take out a warrant ror the own
err of the car and prosecute, he con
tinued,
Mr.. Lanier's car suffered badly fro,
the collision, but he managed to get
back to the city with it. After the
Reynolds party boarded their car aga,b
and started forward, the driver ran il
il to ditch and turned it over. 1t was
towed to the city later and is now he q
repairs. Mr.. Laniers
statement as to the condition of the
men is borne out b. Policeman WORTH
