KAHOKA. Mo-. Juno 13.-The evan
gelical campaign of three weeks
| which closed on Sunday evening a!
Kahoka, will prove Itself to be the
greatest moral and christian awaken
Ing Of any revival work ever held In
this community. It is far reaching
and will continue to grow. The pre-
sentation Of the plain Bible truths
were made SO convincing that people
realized that the subject admitted OF
Just course action, either to accept
or reject the Offer of free salvation
from sin as proclaimed and proved
by the life and teachings Of the Bible
and Jesus Christ. The ways of life
and dea.h were presented in such
distfnctness that all were constrained
to confess the positive, or else hold
to the opposite.
Thse faithful evangelfsts. Revs.
Holcomb and Clotworthy. labored
faithfully and gloriously for the spirit
ual welfare of the classes who were
In attendance, and brave and diligent
work were given by the several pas.
tors Of the protestant churches here.
These ministers are Pastor Payne,
Methodist Protestant; Pastor Elliot,
Of the First Methodist church; Paste
Newton. of the Baptist church; Pas.
tor Murphy, of the Presbyterian; and
Pastor Lockhart, OF the Christian
church. At the eleven o'clock service
on Sunday, four hundred and eighty
three dollars were given, and after
the special mems meeting on Sunday
afternoon, some thirty dollars were
given, and for the three collections OF
the day the total amount was seven
hundred dollars. The large taber-
nac1e sale will about complete the fin
ancial interests Of the meeting, and
all business affairs win be cared for.
On Monday noon both evangelists
departed for their respective homes,
Rev. Holcomb going to Knoxville,
Tennessee, where he will rest and
prepare for some lectures to be CIV
en- during the summer. In the aut-
umn he will enter the evangelical
campaign and will hold revival servic-
es in different parts of the large ter
ritory where he is known. He Is ac-
lively at work for the upbuildtng OF
the moral welfare OF the people, spirit
ually and otherwise.
Pastor Payne and Attorney G. T.
Llewellyn made addresses on Sunday.
The different churches will receive
the new converts and administer bap-
tism this week, and it is thought
proper to hold services more often in
all the churches, to help the converts
to advance and grow stronger. Be il
said that progressive people OF Ka-
hoka and vicinity have laborej faith.
fully and heartily for the spiritual
awakening, and their devotion and
labors have resulted in spreading the
cause Of Righteousness which Is far
reaching and enduring. To all The
valiant workers, much honor is due.
Quotations from HoIeomb's Sermon.
I wish some of you had your cur
tosity aroused. I would rather trust
God than my feelings, for our feelings
deceive US. During these recent cold
and wet and gloomy days. some Of
you were complaining of feeling so
bad Just because of the weather. We
DON. run ON feelings. Feelings change
with the weather. By faith are we
saved. You always find Jesus when
you seek him. About the last thing
to be converted is the pocket book.
A good evidence Of a spiritual con.
second day after the event. In one
Of my meetings good old colored
man was wonderfully saved, and he
went around shouting and praisina
God. Next day he went to his town
doctor and paid an old debt OF twenty
dollars. Making things straight, you
see. Down at Nashville we had a
crooked and rough road which would
give the chills to anyone who Travelled
over its line. The l. & N. company
bought the delapidated road and tore
up the rails and road bed and made
nice new straight line which is to
day a pleasure to ride on. Made the
pathway straight, you see. You folk;

you happy. All you lack is religion
