church have been making great sue
cess of<the two banquets which have
been arranged for in connection with
the revival meetings held last spring
and this week. The affair held on Tues
day evening was certainly well arrang-t
ed and those present report a most
profitable time in every way. The spa
cious Easement of the church was well
| lighted, warmed and places laid for $50
persons, all of which were occupied. I.
A. Harvey acted as POSTMASTER, and
as is well known he is a most thought
full and appreciative speaker. There

| ing of Morris Wilkinson, Malcolm Hell
iden, Geo. Newcom and e. c. Chamber
Hin, Mrs. Cable presiding at the organ.
The pastor announced that an immense
number of chickens had been brought
ITO the church in advance, and 1t ap-
peared that they had all found their
way into the culinary department and
made temperance in delicious stew
with well seasoned gravy.
| In response to the first toast G. Il.
Voss made most thoughtful talk. He
made an appeal for the boys and the
young men, that their point, OF view in

church for them to enjoy healthy
sports. AS result of what he said
the assembly before the close voted
that the basement OF the church should

to the rules of the game and to all pos

the church membership not to drift
away from proper bible standards. but
to acquit themselves like men and be
strong.
There was singing not only by the
male quartet but by the entire assem-

well known gospel hymns the volumne

One Of the new men in the Sunday
ischOol work Of this church Is Warner
A. Glotfelty, who has been elected SUI
lperintendent Of the Sunday school. He
appears to be a live wire and his talk
on THE Recruiting Station" was most
entertaining and profitable. Like many
other responses his was enlivened by
cute stories. He maintained that the I,
church and the Sunday school were the
best kind Of recruiting station in the
world because it enlisted recruits for
pect of further endeavors in an immor-
tai life.
The assembly was much pleased with
the toast responded to by Judge Con-
ner. who had for his subject ..The
Church-Does It Pay?" Handled IN
the earnest and impressive words of
the speaker the church and the sun
day school were made to appear as the
most paying Investment which could
be entered into. Judge Conner, when
a briefless lawyer on arriving at Denl-
son, allied himself with the Methodist
church, taught a class and has been a
constant attendant in the over forty
years since.
The closing talk was made by the Z
pastor, Rev. M. NJ. Gable. He was just
overfiowing with enthusiasm over the
success of the banquet and with heart
aglow for more enthusiastic work Tor
the cause for which he has dedicated
satisfaction of the christian life and
made an additional plea for the use Of
the church basement. The benedictiOn
was made by Rev. Bergman.
There was an adjournment to the
assembly room where all joined in sing

church may be called upon to give q
supper to the ladies.
We understand that the revival meet

with Sunday as great day. The mem
bership is issuing cordial invitation
for all to attend. On Friday evening
the membership of the Woman's For

peoples and childrens auxiliary will
have the right Of way in the service.
