Revival Meeting.


Three times yesterday, B. F. Nc
Lendon preached to crowded houses;
and over 100 professed faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ during the day.
The interest is growing in every
iservice. Last night the large hall was
packed to it's full capacity, and many
people had to 20 away.
! Crowds OF people were here from the
ladiacent towns.
Mayor Epperson of Pinewood made a
talk. and told. what McLendon's revi-
val last February meant TO his town;
now blind tigers that used to peddle
whiskey on the streets, are respectable
men today and leaders in their church
es. Men who were looked upon as
crooks and dishonest men, are now hon
cradle citizens; and homes that had
been made miserable by sin are now
happy.
Mr.. Cain from PaxYille also made 8
short talk.
BE is the express agent at that
place. He said that McLendon's revl-
val had just about broken up the
whiskev business in that com munlty
and that less whiskey comes to his
town than to any station on the road.

will find you out"

When man gets chesty and puts his
old theories up against God; then God
always brings man forward to show
that he is an old marplot, and an old
liar.
