God is as able to send a great soul
stirring revival to Manning as else
where, if only his people will CO.
operate with him.
a genuine revival of religion in
Manning will cost theunity of Gods
people and anything in you that
hlnders such unity, whether person
al animosity or denominational ieal-
ousy or rivalry, will by that much
hinder the coming of such a re-
vival.
The greatest need in the world is
not churches, creeds or Denomina-
tlons but Christ. Can the World
see Jesus in You?
Inc Lord needs you, your time,
talents, influence, means and all.
