Baptist church and much interest Is
being shown by both the christians
and the non-christians Rev. Jas. B.
keayell of Houston, Texas. who is
conducting the revival, is preaching
strong, powerful and stirring sermons.
He is very earnest and serious
minister, has a splendid delivery,
a deep spirituality and is making a
profound impression on the hundreds
that hear him each day. The sing
ing is under the direction of Rev. A.
E. Petroff, a native Bulgarian, who
came to America when he was Is
years of age. His life story, which
he related at the morning service on
Tuesday of this week, was exceed
ingly interesting and marked him as
a man of wonderful experience in
human affairs. He possesses strong
clear voice with a wide range. His
singing is one of the features of the
revival services. Rev. w G. Boone

undergone these changes I feel
sure similar changes will come to us.
Whether they shall be hurtful or
beneficial depends upon the spirit in
which we meet them A knowledge
of what they are will doubtless help
us solve them wisely.

is the reeducation and rehabilitation

Little Rock, July "A stringent
enforcement of the city and state
laws against idleness was decided
upon at conference held yesterday
between United States Labor Depart
ment and city officials. The first of
three conferences was held in the
morning. with Major r. B. Heating.
United States Labor Director for
Arkansas, Mayor Taylor, Municipal
Judge W. r. Woodruff, Chief of Po-
lice B. c. Rotenberry, City Attorney
John F. Clifford, and C. G. Kava-
naugh. district superintendent of the
United States Labor Department.
Federal authorities have not been
able to obtain sufficient labor in the
construction of the picric acid plant
and 1t is believed the government
will soon ask the city council to pass
an ordinance closing pool rooms and
other places kept open solely for
RECREATION. during all working hours,
perhaps from 8 a. IN. to D. m, and
all frequenters of pool rooms will be
required to report their occupation.
At the second conference, between

negroes, headed by Bishop Connor.
plans were discussed for registering
Idle negroes in Little Rock, and in.
teresting them in war work. In the
sermons preached today in negro
churches, special mention will be
made of this conference, with refer
ence to the work now being done by
the negroes in the community, and
the governments need of laborers.
Major Heating says pressure is be-
ing brought to bear by the Depart
ment of Labor to get all idle labor
to work, and that cooperation is be-
ing given by the important negro
leaders in the city of Little Rock
au,. in the state of Arkansas.
