FAMOUS EVANGELIST
HOLD REVIVAL
Ham Meeting One of Greatest
Reviyals in History Of Halifax
County. Mammoth Audiences
Crowd Tent. Nearly $4,000
Contributed
SPECIAL WELCOME SERVICE SUNDAY
(Reported)

J One of the greatest, if not tn
greatest, revival ever held
Halifax county came to clos
recently in Roanoke Rapids
Rev. j. W. Ham, a consecrate
man of God with an enviabl
reputation as an evangelist
known far and near, countini
his friends by the thousand
throughout the South, conducte'
; this meeting and did the preach
ing. Associated with Mr.. Han
were Mrs. Ham, Prof. and Mrs
Belts, and Mr.. V. 0. Caudle
All these co-workers did theil
work well.
Mr.. Ham preached the "Old
Book" from cover to cover with
out fear or favor and relies upor
the Holy Spirit to carry the mes
sage home to the hearts of his
hearers. His preaching is sim.
pie yet profound.
Prof. Belts sings the gospel
with telling effect, he also has
che ability to get music out of
the crowd. The large chorus
choir contributed no little to the
success of the meeting. Mrs.
Ham was faithful at the piano
and in doing personal work. Mrs.
Belts and Mr.. Caudile also work
ed hard during the meeting.
People attended the meeting
from Norfolk, Charlotte, San
ford, Broadway, Enfield, Little
ton, Weldon, Halifax, Buie's
Creek and various places in the
country.
The expense of the meeting
was about $3.50, most of which
was contributed chearfully by
the church and its friends. 1928
was the special offering given
to Mr.. Ham at the close of the
meeting as an expression of graf
itude for services rendered. Out
of this amount Mr., Ham pays his
singer and other personal expen-
ses, leaving about $50 for his
own use.
The attendance was extra Or
binary. Several hundred women
came one night through a hard
rain to the meeting. At least a
thousand men attended the mems
meeting, while it is estimated
that |, 900 attended the last Sun
day night of the meeting.
Hundreds of people went for
ward for prayer in the meeting,
over a hundred confessed Christ
and over fifty united with the
Baptist church, thirty-three be-
ing baptized last Sunday evening.
Every other denomination in the
community also received men,
ners from this meeting.
In behalf of the church the
pastor wishes to thank Mr.. B.
Marks and the Power Company
for the use of the grounds for
the tent. We also thank all who
gave their time, influence and
money to this good work, and We
pray Gods blessing upon all thost
who opposed Us.
All the new members are urget
to be at church next SUNDAY
night. A special welcome ser
wee will be provided, and tn,
right hand of fellowship will b,
extended.
