Revival Meetings At Rising SUI

Revival Meetings AT Rising Sun.
The revival meetings at James
Methodist Episcopal Church, Rising
Sun, made favorable progress during
the week.
The Berge Sisters are now taking
an active part in every meeting.
Miss Emma Berge, who has been
suffering from tonsilitis since her
arrival, has completely recovered
and will soon be leading the song
services with her cornet. The sing
ing of these ladies is most helpful
feature of the services. Their heart
felt rendition of gospel songs will
surely awaken a response in every
heart. We urge upon all, the invita-
tion to attend the meetings.
The preaching of the Gospel by
DR.. Watt on Sunday and by neigh
boring pastors during the week has
been very helpful.
On Sunday, Sept. 9th, there will
be preaching by the Rev. J. w.
Easley, pastor of McCabe Memorial
Church of Wilmington, who leaves
his own people for the time in order
that he may bring to us the good
news of the Gospel.
Appreciation of the efforts which
are being made to create renewed
interest in religious things in our
community ought to insure the at
tendance of the people in large num-
bers at every service.

Union Evangelistic Meetings Closed

Union Evangelistic Meetings Closed.
Union Evangelistic Meetings at
West Nottingham closed on Sunday
night last. They were most success
full and the whole community has
been blessed. Both Rev. Faulconer
and Mr.. Allen have won for them
selves a place in the hearts of the
people and we are sorry that they
have gone.
Owing to the stormy weather last
Sabbath many were kept away from
the services and the free-will offering
to DR.. Faulconer fell far behind that
of last year. In order to make up
this loss and give those who have
not yet contributed an opportunity
to do so an offering for that purpose
will be taken next Sabbath morning.
