nine cents seem very good, and the

ING AND AFTERNOON SERVICES
AT Y. M. C. A. BUILDING
(BY SPECIAL WRITER

What bids fair to be one of the
greatest religious revivals in the his
tory of Americus had it's beginning at
the First Methodist church Sunday
morning at IL o'clock.
Rev. Arthur J. Moore, the regular
appointed conference evangelist for
Georgia, and Charlie D. Tillman, the
famous song evangelist and publisher,
accompanied by his daughter, who
comes as a special pianist and solo
ist, reached the city Saturday and were
in their respective places for the first
service.
The congregation was very large for
the first service Mr.. Tillman saI

from the up-to-date advertising which
has preceded the coming of these
evangelists, one would naturally con-
clude that their methods are modern.
This is true, but their message is un-
mistakably the "old time religion
The sermon in the morning gripped
the congregation as Mr. Moore show
ed how christianity is an essential ir
national, church and individual life.
To appreciate Arthur Moore, one
must hear him. He is possessed with
an enthusiasm that is almost irresist
ible, and Georgia editor describes
him as "a man with religion"
A little more than six years ago
an unconverted railroad man, he
stands today possibly as Georgia.
most successful evangelist There is
no explanation for success like this
only that he is a God-sent many. He
has held more than a hundred meet
ings in Georgia alone, and estimates
that he has had more than 5000 per
sons converted.
The large cities have been moved, as
Columbus, Athens and Macon have all
been moved by his enthusiasm. Macon
alone has been the scene of four re.
markable meetings conducted there

Charlie Tillman is possibly one of
Georgia's best known singers. For
years he has given his time to holding
revival meetings, writing and pub
fishing gospel music. He right now
is in the zenith of his career. All
Americus will doubtless be charmed
by his solos and leadership of the
large chorus choir.

This will bring into this county
in the next few weeks anywhere
from $500 to 5000 people and the
completion of the aluminium

That the statements of Brab-
