ReViVals
The protracted meetings of Bethel
church have been one of the promi-
nent features Of its life. They have
been the means of introducing to the
i community some of the ablest and
most spiritually minded men of the
Missouri ministry, men who would
rarely be heard by an isolated coun-
! try church in any other way Such
preachers as Latham Drew, Ryland
Squires, Simrall Cowan, Mitchell
Roseborough, Richmond Kerr, Rich
ardson Paxson and Wallace Alex
ander are a blessing to a people, and
all these and others have visited
Bethel. 1t has been estimated that
the Church has passed thru at least
80 reviyals conducted by such men
as these.
The Sunday School
Bethel has always maintained a
Sunday school. In fact, the Sunday
school preceded the church, being
organized Sept. 3. 1867, more than
a year before the church The first
superintendent was ], f. Bolts. his
service extending over several years.
