lGcIsENDON STIRs UP BIG
AUDIENCE AT SPENCER.

Spencer. Sept. 12-Rev. B. r. Nc
Isondon. familiarly known az Cyclone
Mack. who Is conducting q revival
here In tent. preached Sunday morn
ing In Greensboro. occupying the pull
pit Of the Park Place Methodist Epis-
copai church.
The famous evangelist arrived here
from Greensboro at 1885 p. m.,> five
minutes after the time set for his
afternoon service in the big tent. near
the baseball diamond. James Penny,
OF Greensboro. brought him here in
an automobile.
Mr.. McLendon went from the ma
chine directly to his place in the tent,
where a sea OF faces greeted him.
Some or the auditors had arrived rs
much as An heour ahead of tine in
order to get seats. Hundreds upon
hundreds were comfortably seated in
side the tent. while many stood on the
outside In order to catch a few words
from the lips OF the preacher.
After the choir Of about 200 Spen-
eer people had rendered several Sc
Iections, Cyclone Mack went into ac-
ton. 1t required him but q few min
utes to lay aside his big sombrero.
remove his white collar, coat and vest
to fact he was stripped for ring
duty. And he handled himself in great
style. 1t was big day under the old
tent.
Mr.. McLendon since coming here q
y>ek or so ago has preached the gos-
OF Jesus Christ to thousands or
souls. The town in the afternoon was
a veritable automobile park in the
vicinity Of the tent meeting. Riding
from Spencer to Salisbury one was i'm
pressed with the steady stream of au-
tomobiles carrying people to the re-
vival.
Not only are the people of Spencer
and the vicinity attending these big
meetings, but those who have heard
the preacher in other sections of the
state travel for miles and miles to
listen again to his inspiring, soul
stirring messages.
If crowds are indexes to success,
then the Spencer meeting is a whaling
success. and the influence of the
South Carolina evangelist continues
ON It's heavenly tramp.
