CHURCHES
REVIVAL SERVICES

The special revival services at the Presbyterian church this week, con- ducted by the pastor and Rev. c. H. Williamson. Ph D., of Memphis, have been largely and enthusiastically at tended The spirit of cooperation from the other churches has been greatly enjoyed and appreciated. No preacher in this church has ever preached to larger or more attentive crowds. The church has been filled to it's utmost seating capacity at night. The morning services have been splendidly attended.
 At the morning service Dr. William son has been giving series of talks on prayer. The naturalness of prayer. Tho reasons of prayer. Kind of prayer that prevails with God. These services were beautifully scriptural and reinforced by large experience in the life of prayer on the part of the pastor himself. These services on prayer have doubtless stirred about the souls of many who have grown cold to the meaning and pos abilities of prayer in their lives and the church. The church and christ ian men need to hear the old cry: Lord, teach us how to pray
 Dr. Wiiliamson's night messages have been broad and general in their application. touching individual and family and national life at the point where sin is getting in its work. Over again the preacher rehearses the peril of our times and the need of nation returning to God and it's family aitars. The call of the hour is a more vital Godliness in the indi- vidual. family and national life. In-

deed. Dr. Williamson has brought our community some great and timely messages. His gospel was not that narrow and pesky sectarianism so often heard in revival services. But the messages of man bigger than church anity," or those little houses in which some christians have shut themselves up, supposing they only are Gods people. We love to hear man big with world thought and Gods great gospel for lost world. Dr. Williamson hates sectarianism and loves and breaches that gospel of the cross that makes all believers in Him brothers. To love, to suffer and serve with him. The Presby- terian church has been greatly bless ed and helped in having him with us for these few days. We only regret that he could not remain over longer. Through the invitation of Prof. Mac Chesney, Dr. Williamson spoke to the children of the public school Wednesday at one o'clock. He also spoke at the mass meeting at the Elks Home Friday afternoon at three o'clock. The community at large, we feel. has been greatly edified and benefited in having Dr. Williamson with us for few days. Results for the revival are most encouraging Services will continue over Sunday night. Dr. McFarlane of Forrest City is expected to assist the pastor over Sunday. A cordial invitation to all of these services.

DRIVE HALTED AT
PRES OUTSKIRTS

LONDON, April 2S.-Exhausted by
the logged resistance and lightning,
like thrusts of the Franco-British de
tenders, the German drive toward
Ypres from the south has been halted
at the very Threshold Of the city.
Hindenburg's picked troops pene,
trated TO the outskirts to Voorme-
Eeele-barely two miles from Ypres-
- only to be hurled back with stagger.
ing losses in u fierce struggle that
lasted for hours.
RAIlyInE once more, the enemy
again drove forward against the Brit.
-ish troops which had taken up posi-.
tions on q ridge and in a wood south.
west OF Voormezeele. And again
they were forced back, losing hun.
dreds OF prisoners.
This was but a phase Of the lighting
on the whole front from the Lys river
TO the Ypres-Comines canal. a distance
Of more than seventeen miles in an air
line, which resulted only in = heavy
enemy casualties.
Between LocTe and Laclytte, a front
OF about a mile and a quarter. north
west OF KENNEL, the French beat OF
three desperate assaults. On the fourth
attempt, the Germans carried Locre. but
a combined Franco-British counter at
tack drove them out. The French now
hold the village.
On the southern portion Of the Flan-
ders front there was considerable local
fighting near Givenchy. The British
took forty prisoners.
The allies again hold the initiative in
Picardy. The British advanced their
lines in several points on the Hangard-
Villers sector, taking more than 800
prisoners
Several attempted hostile attacks
with tanks were broken up before
they could reach the British lines.
The Germans bOmbarded the allied
positions east of Amiens during the
night and attacked the railway west
OF Themes, but failed.
