Many Converts Made.

Greenwood is in the midst of one OF
.the greatest revivals in its history.
'Twenty-one persons have professed
saving faith in Jesus Christ, thirteen
OF whom are heads of families and
several are leading business men of
the town. The Christian people are
working and praying for at least one
hundred conversions. 1t is believed
14hat one reason for the success in
these efforts is the perfect unity ex-
listing between the two churches of
the town. The relation Of the pastors
during the three years of their asso-
citation together has been most con-
genial They have labOred, not to
build up one church to the determint
ef the other, but to build up the King
dom of God and both are very happy
oYer the results. Rev. Calvin NJ. Hop
kins is rendering invaluable service.
His gospel messages are convincing,
being accompanied with the power OF
the Holy Spirit. The fourth quarterly
conference of the NJ. f. church held !
last Saturday. expressed in a written |
statement their heartfelt gratitude to
Dr. R. K Stephenson for his faithful 7
service during the past six years and /
Eheir regret that because of the time /
eiTnit he must be removed from the
district at the next session of confer
'ance. The pastor, J. c. B. Hopkins,
'Eas commended for his faithful ser
vice, and invited to return for the
.saurth year

Fire Scare Brought Prompt Aid.
An alarm of fire last Monday even d
ing caused much excitement and also
sright in this town. The blaze was
located between the ceiling and sec
end floor Of the hotel where it had
caught from a hanging lamp. Prompt
aid resulted in its being extinguished ,
1afore 1t had made good start. Since ,
1914, when the entire business section
,Uf this town was swept away, an
alarm Of fire has created much ex-
ritement, and on Monday evening the ,
church bells we're rung, and the fac (;
lsOry whistles blown as a signal that /
