generous sprinkling Of white. Tho
choral music gave evidence Of special
preparation.
Mrs. Wilson struck a responsive
chord when she gave good scr1ptural
proof of the resurrection Of Jesus.
and told her auditors that their hope
for immortality is based upon the
resurrection of Christ, which fact Is
an assurance that some day we shall
meet our loved ones who have al
ready gone before. Mrs. Wilson's
graphic depletion of a heavenly re-
union was signal for an outburst OF
spiritual enthusiasm that reminded
one Of the Pentecostal shower.
Unlike many other revivalists,
Mrs. Wilson will call for trail hitters

says, to delay this important invita-

that he has more positions at $4,000
