BLIND PREACHER
TO HOLD MEETING
Series of Prayer Services to Be
Held Preparatory to Revival
In Which All Denominations
Will Participate.

All the people of Tazewell, without
regard to their church relationships
Will be glad to learn that Rev. r. G..
McLees, of Chatham, Va, will hold
another series of services in our town
this summer. Mr.. McLees is remem-
bered as the blind preacher and was
here two summers ago. All denomi-
nations were charmed with his splen-
Ind sermons. He sa master word
painter. His style is SO simple that a
child can understand. And vet his
sermons are so gripping and so pow
erful that they are bound to live i'm
the memories of his hearers. There
is no sensationalism about his SER
mons or about his methods; but he
breaches the simple gospel with ten
derness and power.
Mr.. McLees has recently closed Il
meeting in Salem, Va, and our town
IS fortunate in securing him again
for another series of services.
Last Monday the ministers of the
town held Il meeting at which il was
decided that all the churches would
cooperate not only in the meeting,
but also in 4 careful preparation for
the meeting. The services will be
held i'll the Presbyterian church, but
il is to be union meeting. Ali the
pastors are behind it. And it is hoped
that every Christian of the town will
feel that it is "Our meeting"
We feel the need of careful prep
aration for the meeting; the need of
getting every Christian in town inter
ested; need of having hundreds of
prayers ascending from hundreds of
hearts in Tazcwell; the need of get
ting the Christian people together in
Just rs many prayer bands as possible
in the two weeks that must elapse
before the meeting.

7:30 p. M. at the following times and
