CHURCH MEMBERS \
NIGHT At REVIVAL

Bad weather and much mud again
failed to deter the faithful from attend
ing the Hart Magann revival last night.
While the attendance did not approx
mate that of last Sunday, in view of
the unfavorahle circumstances, it was
sufficient to give the evangeliStical as
sociation much encouragement.
Tonight is to be church members
night. Evangelist Hart stated that
this meeting would be climax in the
campaign and requested each one pres
ent to telephone at least ten persons
to come rain or shine. He assured the
congregation that the roof had been
thoroughly repaired and that there
would he no more leaks closer than
Washington.
Every church member in Phoenix is
urged to join the band of Christians
that will assemble at the Presbyterian
church at Z: 90 o'clock this evening and
march to the Tabernacle service, headed
by a band.
Rev Geo. r. Narney urged the con-
gregation to come to the afternoon
meetings. He asserted that the address
Wednesday afternoon was the best he
had ever heard on the subject given
He stated that the evangelistic associ
alton was much gratified over having
secured evangelists who did not depend
on emotionalism for results. Before
closing his remarks he paid tribute to
the people for their disposition to give
literally toward the revival campaign
expenses.
