le-barreled Gospel gun, but has also
brought into use a Gospel 75'" that
is being used daily in an effort TO
dislodge his Satanic Majesty from
his stIronghold, the hearts of human
ity. Last night he spoke on The
Greatest Book in the World" ana
those that heard this sermon are
agreed that it was a great presenta-
ton of a great truth, and went to
their homes feeling more impressed
than ever that the Bible is Gods
own Book and their duty lies in de-
Tending it. The singing is strik-
ing feature of the revival. The way
that the choir and congregation en-
ter into this part of the service is
inspiring, and when it comes to sing
ing The Old Time Religion there is
nothing on the Eastern Shore thai
can surpass it in enthusiasm and
spirit. We have a fifteen minute
song service filled with snappy ana
soul-gripping songs which prepares
the congregation for the message
of Gods servant. Mr.. Morris will
speak tonight on the subject Cain

This is reminiscent Of story Of one
of the heroes of golf, an Edinburgh

at dawn and was seen at night putting

separation on the ground that her hus-

He went to the court, admitted the
