may say, however, that it is a
harder place to hold a meeting than
in Cordele. The busy city life and the
many social attractions divide the
attentions and energies of the peo-
pie Yet we are having fine audiences
at nearly all the churches in the cam
paign.
I must tell you of the Mems Bible
Glass here in the great West End
church where | preach each night and
in Sundays The class numbers $50
1t was my privilege to talk to this
class Sunday morning, and when
gave the invitation eight fine fellows
came out to make a clear cut profess
sion and to take their stand for
Christ 1t was glorious sight. At
8 80 Sunday afternoon DR.. j. j. Hurt
of the First Church, Wilmington, N.

the First Baptist church to women
and girls. There were a number OF
professionals at the same hour | spoke
to six hundred men at the West End
church. Eighteen men and boys
made profession.
Each afternoon this week at 4 p.

hanson. Tell him just as soon as he
can get out to church to take ? pub
