REVIVAL SERVICES GROW
ING IN INTEREST
Rev. Walker Doing Some Great
Preaching. Many Conversions

The revival services begun at the
Methodist church more than a week
ago by Rev. S. w. Walker continue
with growing interest. The congre-
cations are large and the people seem
to hang on to what the preacher
says Gin the same old way" Mr..
Walkers sermons seem to grow bet
ter day by day. He has remarkable
holding powers. He is happy in
choosing his themes and is equally
felicitious in the way he presents
what he has to say. He appeals both
to the reason and to sentiment. He
endeavors, it seems, to avoid the
startling, the spectacular, rather pre-
ferring the old, unadulterated gos-
pei with all the lights and the eX-
periences of the present day. His
singer, too, Mr.. Boyd, and his pianist,
are especially fine. The songs fit the
spirit of the congregations and touch
those divine elements in human ma
ture that can but arouse man to
sense of his duty. All the churches
of the town have joined in the meet
ing and have done much to contrl-
butte to the success of the services:
It is probable that the services will
continue yet for several days. There
have been many conversions and one
remarkable thing is that many linge1

Oxford Convocation
Here This Week
Bishop Bratton Here and Delivers
Great Sermon. Makes Announce
ment as to the Election of Bishop
Co-adjutor. A Number of Clergy
men Present.

The Oxford Convocation of this
Diocese met at All Saints Episcopal
church in Grenada on Monday eve
ming. Bishop Bratton was present
and conducted the service. The Bishop
is one of Mississippi's great men and
great leaders and but for prearrang-
ed services at the Methodist church,
much larger audience would have
been present to hear his message.
He made an announcement of great
interest to his church and that was
that the consent of the general
church had been obtained for the
election of a Bishop Co-adjutor, and
that a special council would be held
in jackson June 25, for that purpose.
There were nine clergymen present
and many interesting questions con-
corning the work of the church were
discussed. Rev. E. A. 'DeMiller, the
Rector, and his lovely wife played
the part of host and all present, espe-
cially those who were in the Rector's
home, went away delighted with this
good man and his home.

will say that the united voices Of such
organizations and institutions are
wrong?
The lines are closing fast. 1t will
not atone for past misdeeds, grievous
blunders, to say ~ am with the Presi-
dent now" When the humble citizen
blunders it affects only him and his
family; when public official blum
ders, and repeats the blunder over
and over, he hurts the whole country,
certainly his constituency, and in
diets himself for an obstinacy and
perverseness deserving of public CEN
sure. What one will do in the future
can best be judged by what he has
already done.
The Pat Harrison Central Cam
palgn Committee points with pardon
able pride to Mr.. Harrison's record
as member of the lower house of
congress. There was never any
doubt at any time about what he
would do in regard to international
problems when matter was pre-
sented that had the endorsement of
the President of the United States
and majority of his fellow-party
men in Congress. Whatever obiec-
tions he might have to any propose
ton were registered in Committee
rooms or in conference. He was too
thoughtful of the lives of his fellow
countrymen and of the welfare of
the Nation to permit a word or act
OF his to lend encouragement to a
foreign foe. Mr.. Harrison has been
true to his people. He came from
the humble citizenship of our com
monwealth and has always mani
tested keen and abiding interest
In the welfare of the citizen. who is
content to live under his own vine
and flg tree separate and apart from
the din of the city and the rush and
hurry of life. From such as thesa
come the salt of the earth. From
Sucn homes come those who fill the
pulpits of the Nation and those who
must steady the Ship of State when
there is mad rush on deck among
those who have annointed themselves
leaders and captains. .--.
There are those, we all sorrow
fully admit, who are plundering the
Government in this crucial hour. but
the people of Mississippi may rest
assured that they are now being in
vestlgated and looked after and in
due time will be brought to the bar
of justice. There is time yet to at
tend to such as these. To stop the
great machinery of the country now
to attend to them properly, would
be like chasing a petty thief while
your house burned The enemy is
at our gates. We must and will do
for him what our parents, grandpar-
ents and greatgrandparents did to
similar foes in their day.

One Who Hears Me-
Adoo in New Orleans
The Audience Went Wild When Ac-
ton of Senators in Knocking Out
the Ship Purchase Bill Was Men
toned. Correspondent Thinks That
All Mississippians Should Hear the
Great Secretary.
New Orleans, La, April Is, 1918.
143 S. Claiborne Street.

Dear Editor:
If every voter in Mississippi could
have been present the other night
when Secretary McAdoo addressed
a tremendous audience at the French
Opera Building-the largest auditor
fum in the City, which was filled and
running over, with people peeping
through the windows-there is no
doubt but that future ballots would
be the result of much more deliber-
ate thought than it has been in the
past.
The incident that nearly knocked
all of us Mississippians out was this:
The Secretary was showing hoW ear
nestly President Wilson had attempt
ed to prepare for any crisis by con-
structing a huge MERCHANT MA
RINE then he added that some of
the most bitter critics of the Admin
istration at present over shortage OF
ships are the very men that helped
FILIBUSTER that bill to death. He
further added that the most fearful
part Of the entire matter was the
fact that Southefn-he is Southern
himself-Senators had aided in the
death of that bill. Immediately the
house went wild with shouts of
of "Down with Vardaman, Hardwick
and LaFollette! Take them out of
the Senate The Secretary reminded
names; they yelled ia return, "You
don't have to; we. know the stabbers
in the back"
1t impressed me that an audience
far removed from interest in Miss
issippi politics were so we'll informed
on the questions of the war as to
know the votes of Senators from 9TH
er states. Verify America is awak-
, ening!
An old gentleman-sixty odd years
of age-was sitting by me. Up un-
til three years ago, he has spent his
life in the State of Mississippi. At
the conclusion of the address, the
old man almost had tears in his eyes;
he said to me, "young man 1 have
voted for Vardaman for every office
he ever ran for and until tonight I
have never been ashamed of it, but
l shall never have to apologize for
that offense again."
Yours very truly,
"Mississippian."

Grenada College En-
dowment Still Growing
Commissioner Brownlss Cives . Good
Account Of His Labers." Mr.. Haley
Among the Recent Contributers.
Great Plans Ahead BY College Man.
agsmsnt. The School in Great
Favor. =

Rev. T. NJ. Brownlee, commits
sioner Of Grenada College, continues
to have unusual success in his cam
paign for funds for that popular and
growing intuition.
]. L. Haley, ST., Itta Bena, Miss,
has recently pledged $4,000 for the
new building. Mr.. Haley is a pros
porous delta planter. -
A friend Of the college, who is
deeply interested in its welfare, as
well as in the poor girls of his state,
has pledged $4,000 for the building
fund and $4,000 each for himself and
wife for two scholarships, the annual
interest from which is to be used to
defray the expenses of two high
school graduates who desire to at
tend college but who are not able to
do so.
The building committee is pushing
its work on plans for beginning the
erection of larger accommodations
for the life and work of the college.
which will cost in the neighborhood
of 100000. The trustees are de-
termined that this North Mississippi
Conference school for young women
shall have equipment and resources
that will put it abreast of any in.
stitution in the entire south. There
is good prospect for substantial en-
dowment to be given as soon as the
new building is under way.
The present session has been the
very best in the history of the school
and the dormitories are still crowded
with students, though it is near the
end of the session.
This splendid institution has been
greatly growing in the confidence and
the esteem Of the educational world
for the past dozen years or more
It deserves this and more. It has also
greatly enlarged the number Of its
friends and patrons, and deservedly
so. The life, the care and training
and the work of the individual stu.
dent have been the paramount con.
sideration with the College authori
ties. Just as nearly as possible the
College is a home. The class of stu.
dents rather than numbers enrolled
has been the chi source of those
directing this old and honored insti.
tuition. Now that there is such ar
awakening throughout Mississippi
that men of means are voluntarily
putting their money into the Col
lege because, while they realize that
it is not an investment in dollars anC
cents, they know one that yields fal
greater returns than mere paltry dol
lars. The lives of the splendid anc
gracious young women that go ou1
from the College year after year viii
be one of the sweetest consultations ir
the days to come to those who are
making these donations-donations
that will enlarge the dormitory priv
ileges and the opportunities for ser
vice Of the College. Grenada i.
proud of the College and The Senti
mel is more than pleased to note thai
there this feeling of pride is extend
ing itself all over the northern sec
tion of the state. DR.. Countiss, tht
wise and able head, is one Of the big
men of the Methodist church and in
deed of the state.

COAL GAS FOR AUTOMOBILES
Fuel Costs Only Twelve Cents for
Charge Equal In Power to One
Gallon Of Gasoline,

Arthur H. Jackson, an English us-
chanical engineer, who arrived In New
York from London on his way to Hong
Kong, said that the high price of ,.nso-
line In England, where 1t sells at $1.1O
gallon. has caused motor power ex-
perts to experiment with compressed
coal gas for motor trucks and automo-
biles. The point In Its favor Is that
the gas fuel costs only IL cents for
charge equal in power to a gallon of
gasoline.
"The ministry Of munitions Mr..
Jackson said, 'fnvors the coal gas
fuel, as its manufacture increases the
output of by-products needed for ex-
plosives- The Glasgow corporation
has ben advised by a special commits
sion that coal gas Is practicable for
commercial motor vehicles. Any en-
gine can be fitted for its use In q few
hours without interfering with the use
Of gasoline, should any change be de-
sired. In closed cars and motor trucks
the gAs Is carried In containers ON the
roofs, and In open cars 1t may be car
ried on canopies running the length
Of the body. Containers now in use
hold only $50 feet Of gas, which Is
about equal to a gallon Of gasoline,
and that 10 one of the objections to
