REV. CULPfPPfR
STIRRING HEARERS
AT METHODIST REVIVAL
EVANGELIST DELIVERS POW
ERFUL SERMON BEFORE
BIG CONGREGATION.

Interest in the revival services be-
ing conducted at the First Methodist
church by Rev. Burke Culpepper of
Memphis is rapidly increasing, and
despite unfavorable weather a large
congregation was present at last
nights meeting. The preachers text
was: BE not deceived; God is not
Knocked; whatsoever man soweth
that shall he also reap
The sin of deception, Rev. Culpep-
per declared, is one of which all are
guilty. The political, social and moral
world, he said, is filled with decep-
ton; politicians try to deceive the
people; men deceive their wives, chill
dren and parents. But God knows
and sees every act and every thought.
AS man is using motion pictures and
the phonograph to reproduce action
and voice, so it is easy to conceive
how an all-powerful God can repro
duce even our Notwithstanding is
hidden from Him.
We reap what we SOW, the preacher
but in the present lite. If it does
not come to US, it will descend upon
our children or our children's chill
dren.
Rev. Culpepper, who is one of the
most noted and successful evangelists
in the south, has peculiarly effective
delivery. He speaks rapidly, ges-
lures frequently, and constantly
moves about, often coming down into
the congregation to talk He has not
yet asked for any confessions or
made any propositions to his congre-
cation. He explained the first week
of the meeting is to be one of prep
aration and conviction and the visi-
BILE results will not become apparent
until the second week.
Some excellent singing, by a choir
of 20 voices under the direction of
John U. Robinson of Paducah, KY,
is being rendered. Services are held
twice daily, at $3.50 and 7:l5 p. m.

eral and section meetings of the as
sociation are being prepared and will
be ready for distribution in about a
week. The programs will contain
something of special and direct in
terest to every teacher of Arkansas
The 800 or more attendance lead
ers are active and more enthusiastic
in boosting" the attendance at this
meeting. Ten thousand enrolment
cards have been mailed out to them
and Secretary Laseter states that ev-
cry mail now is bringing in enroll
ments to the meeting One member
OF the attendance committee, in writ
ing Secretary Laseter, said: EN-
closed please find the cards you sent
me. | had no trouble in getting them
filled. | wish you would send me
some more, for | know of several of
my teacher friends who will enroll
now"
The newspapers of the state are
generously cooperating in the at
tendance campaign by giving notice
and publicity to the meeting through
their columns from time to time.
Every teacher should plan to at
tend the meetings of the association.
The inspiration and professional up
lift that come from these meetings
must mean much to the teachers in
this work. An attendance of $500
teachers has been set as a standard
for the April meeting. Every teach
er in the state should be a member
of the association.
The discussions will bring out
many points of interest to the teach
ers in the rural districts of the state,
as well as to the teachers in town and
city schools.

HOGGISH?

No, we are not hoggish. We do not
want all the laundry business in town,
but since there is nothing better than
Franks laundry in the south (and
besides, we are as needy as anyone
else), we feel that we are entitled to
half the work. Give US a trial pack
age and we will convince you of our
claim for the grade of work. Faber
Spires is helping to handle the work
which insures the promptness of col
lecting and delivering work.
