Mabel Catherine Brewington, the

cay evening, June 6, 1914, at 7 O'Clock
at her home here. Mabel was a beau
tiful little brown-eyed girl, the pride
of the family. She had been sick
most of the summer, yet was able to
get around and did dot give up. Only
last Sunday she persuaned her grand
father to drive her to the cemetery
to attend the memorial services, and
she also attended the exercises given
by the school children last week. She
suddenly grew worse on Tuesday and
DR.. Toney was called. But all that
medical skill and loving hands could
do could not save her and she passed
peacefully to rest. Rev. W. W .Stroth-
er conducted the service at the ceme-
terry. He preached a very pathetic
sermon and spoke words of consola-
ton to the heart broken mother and
other loved ones, after which the lit
tie body, lying in the little fower-lin-
ed casket, surrounded by the beautiful
floral offerings, with the smile of in
nocence on her lips, was laid to rest.
May the devoted grandfather, mother
and other loved ones be consoled by
the thought that death with their dear
one is only a happy transition from a
life of sickness and sorrow to an I'M

will live forever in that eternal home.

The Burk and Hobbs REVEALS in
full swing and literally hundreds of
people are In attendance at every one
of the services. Already the auditors
are going early-very cary to secure
seats of vantage.
Thursday it was found necessary
to enlarge the seating capacity by the
addition of several braces of i'm
provised benches and a big s%prinkling
of chairs until to-day the seating
capacity is $500 persons.
The loyal Christians of the com
munity have generously and I'M
stintedly given their aid in arranging
and re-arranging the physical COM
forts of the tent and surroundings I'M
til almost every facility has been add
ed that will be of benefit in handling
comfortably the enormous crowds
that come and are coming.
The spirit of the service is already
asserting itself in an insistent demand
upon the part of citizens of Desloge
and Bonnie Terre that a special train
be run north to Bonnie Terre two or
three evenings a week after services
close at night. A delegation vas
here Wednesday to take up the mat
ter with local committees and re-
suited in an effort being made by in
terested parties to encourage the M.
r. & B. T. R'y in the movement of
passengers north after the services
at least one or two evenings each
week.
The services opened Sunday even
ing with Rev. Hobbs in the pulpit.
The evenings service was we'll at
tended and each succeeding service
was a revelation in attendance until
Tuesday when Steve Burk, the preach
ing evangelist, took the pulpit. Things
began to move then and last nights
crowd filed the tent and almost SEEM
ed to crowd the ousside.
1t is not possible to describe the
evangelist's power no more than it is
mans personal appearance. The
really essential thing is that she
knows how" to conduct a revival and
he does it in a purely Steve Burk man
ner. He is an awfully plain fellow.
Purely plain. He sometimes may eff
feet a white collar and a crease in his
trousers but during this weather it's
merely a matter of a leeting moment.
He is plain and of the plainness that
gets results and that is bottomed upon
a devoti on to a cause that is greater
than any man. He uses slang, he
sometimes forgets grammar and he
frequently shocks the timid. How
ever he absolutely gets results wher-
ever he goes. He knows how and his
auditors know he does.
Steve Burk is not the only member
of the firm or family of Burk and
Hobbs, because, take it from the
writer, Hobbs is also along. Burk
can talk and Burk can make John
Bunny's expressions look like a mum
my, but Hobbs, the suave diplomat,
can come taking a bunch of
"has beens" and twill bees" and
mould them into a choir as well as a
militant gospel force than any man
who ever read the name of Flat River
on a railroad folder. It's a team and
a team of winners. Everybody will
know it soon.
Burk and Hobbs have just closed a
series Of services at K%ingfsher, Ok;
over 500 were converted. Four "Gos-
pei Bands'' we're organized and the
work of converting others continues
with pleasing advancement.
