REV. CLEMENS TO
BEGIN REVIVAL

Moulton, Oct. 25-There is doubtless
no pastor in southern Iowa who mas
had so long and honorable a record
as Rev. A. E. Clemens, pastor OF the
First Baptist church of Seymour, con-
tinuously for sixteen years, and pas
tor in the southern Iowa association,
four counties, for twenty-three years
as he has been, there is scarcely
man or woman in all the region VINO
does not know him personally by hear
say.
For years his health has been OF the
poorest, compelling him at times TO
sit or kneel on his knees to preach.
For several years he has been gaming
in strength, and is now stronger than
for some years. He has assisted the
Centerville church in revival enort a
number of times, and will need no IN
PRODUCTION, at least to the older resi-
dents of the town.
Rev. Clemens is pastor to huge
scope of territory in southern Iowa
and northern Missouri. Doubtless ne
has more weddings and funerals than
any other pastor in this district. ne
is held in the highest esteem not only
by members OF MS own CoASl o5o"
and faith, but all Christian people
alike who know him, give him their
unstinted love and respect. His COS
pei is of the warm, tender and helpful
kind. His mind and heart are rich
with good things of years of constant
life and ministry in the gospel. Meet
ings as usual each night except on
Saturday, beginning Oct. %. The pub.
lie is cordially invited attend and
assist.
