RESULTS IN CORDELE

CCordele (Ga.) Dispatch
The revival at the Baptist church
grows with every service. the pastor
Rev. Wallace Wear announced ias'
night that 1853 had been added to The
church. Among them are many lead
inc business men Of middle life.
The preaching is simple yet power
full and pungent. Strong men are
made to weep as Evangelist Dew lays
bare the naked word of God as the
"power Of God unto Salvation to ev'
cry one that believeth.' From inc
very first service DR.. Dew has en-
phasized the reading of the Word. he
has his proof texts read over and over
again until it is impossible not TO see
the great truths presented. my wora

assembled in the MEMS Bible Class
at the Sunday school hour. The lafg'
est attendance in the history OF the

| At the morning hour of worship the
evangelist spoke on "How the Death
Of Christ Saves Us" 1t was simple
rlain and convincing. The preacher
showed by the process of nature that
all life is the result of death and
! then in few strong and forceful
sentences proved that the only sal
walton sinner could possess was
through the death of Christ.
The mass meeting in the afternoon
was very unique. DR.. Dew spoke on
| the home, the church and the ind
vidual. 1.-THE Breaking of the Alabas-
ter Box" was very beautiful and i'm
pressive service, when at the Slgges-
ton of the speaker many went to
friends who had helped them and
made known their appreciation while
the friends are living.
4 The evening service was the great
est in point of attendance of any yet
held and the singing of the old
hymns was an inspiration. The city
is in the grip of the revival spirit.
Many are attending church who have
not attended for years.

be Heavenly Recognition" or Shall

Warning advertisements in relation
to the crooks are still appearing in

vertisements say that publicity put
a crimp in their dishonest game-but
they are not all gone. Be careful

who offers you chance to make a
bunch Of easy money quickly" The
warning is tiUmely and proper but

HYGIENE AND HEALTH
From the Topeka Capital:

From the Topeka Capital:
A well known writer fills several
pages of the most widely circulated
magazine in the country in an effort
to convince the readers of the maga-
zine that If the rules Of hygiene were
universally lived up to in the United
States, the general health of the peo-
pie would be- so much improved that
the added earning power of the work
ers would within two or three years
pay off the entire national debt.
Far be it from The Capital to oecry
the efforts Of those who are endeavor-
ing to better hygienic conditions. The
principal thing in hygiene, as we un-
derstand it, is cleanliness, and cleanli-
ness is next unto Godliness. But it is
possible that the advocates Of modern
hygiene claim too much for it is as q
promoter Of health and longevity.
There is no clear and convincing proof
that the people who bathe with regu-
larity and eat according to the rules
laid down by the doctors live longer
than their unhygienic neighbors.
