dttor Colfa1 Chronicle:
Rev. j. @. Bennett, assisted by
Mrs. f. G. Wardlow. has Just
closed a successful revival meet
ing here, the best we have had
for many years. They organized
the laity into a working force,
and we went to work, talking
and praying for a revival. When
the time came for the meeting 1t
had behind it a consecrated pull
nit and pew, and it was not long
until the Holy Spirit was poured
out.
This demonstration of Gods
power was not confined to one
lservice. The best OF order ana
attention prevailed from first TO
last. and at times the stiffness,
Ileven in a crowded house, could
IIbe felt. In all twelve were ad-
ded to the church, nine by pro-
fession and three have promised
to hand in their letters, and a
GOOD many Indifferent members
of the church were reclaimed.
! Others were converted, who will
? no doubt connect themselves with
: : some other church.
