GREAT INTEREST
IN THE REVIVAL
Large Congregations Being Edi-
fled Ry Services At First
Baptist Church.

The intense interest Of the peopl,
! Of Columbus in the series Of reyiva
services at the First Baptist Church
was made plainly manifest in the
very first of the meetings on last
Sunday. At both the morning ser
vice and the night service every avail
able inch Of seating space in the large
auditorium was utilized. After the
benches had been filled, chairs were
brought in and placed in the aisles
and in the rear Of the church to ac-
commodate those who came few
minutes after the first hymn was
sung.
For the series of services a special
choir has been organized, composed Of
singers from all the churches of the
city, The music is being directed by
Prof. Charles Butler, Of Georgia, who
has had experience in this line Of
work with Rev. William A. Sunday
and other noted evangelists. He has
a splendid voice, and intersperses the
songs with earnest appeal to the peo-
pie to do more work for the cause Of
Christ.
The pastor of the church, the Rev,
Jesse D. Franks, is doing the preach
ing In forceful and earnest way,
in sermons that are clear, concise and
logical, he presents the claim of the
gospel to the congregation. There is
nothing sensational about the sermons
of the Rev. Mr.. Franks He breaches
Christ in purity and simplicity, and
offers salvation to all who will accept
Jesus as their Savior.
The other churches are helping the
Baptists in the meeting. For example,
on Sunday night, the Rev. Arthur
Growden, pastor Of the First Christ
ian Church, sang in the choir; the
opening prayer was made by the Rev.
Thos. H. Lipscomb, pastor of the
First Methodist Church, and the clos (
ing prayer was made by the Rev.
Jesse G. Rowan, pastor of the First
Church. 1t is a healthy
sign of Christian growth and fellow !

Calm and quiet was the night, and
there were gathered together many
of our most estimable folks, all hearts
were happy, all eyes sparkled, and
''the lights shone DER fair women and
brave men,"

accomplish. 1t brought many con-
genial souls into closer companionship
and made hours speed by on lightning
wings, for it is true that How noise
less falls the foot of time when il
only treads on flowers
The Kiwanis have had many pleas
ant and profitable meetings, as XII
wanians, but the banquet last night
was for the Kiwanians and their
wives, or mothers, sisters or sweet
hearts. 1t was a joyous occasion, and
one that will be a long, long time in
forsaking the hall of memory.
The Rev. Jesse c. Rowan, president
of the club, made an interesting adj
dress, in which he gave a brief yet
comprehensive history of the organ
ization Of the Kiwanis Club in Col
umbus, and of its achievements, and
spoke of the Importance of such an
organization in the community.
Doctor Lawrence G. Painter, in his
accustomed scholarly and interesting
manner gave splendid toast to the
ladies.
Professor Charles Butler, the evang-
elistic singer. also helped to entertain
the Kiwanians and their guests with
songs and readings.
Miss Taylor, the Kiwanis girl at
VI. S. c. W., added TO the pleasure Of
the occasion with piano selections.
Other young ladies from the college

The banquet was as fine as the

Vanished Friends.

Vanished Friends.
Behind me, long the shadows grow,
AS fleeting years go by;
And friends that once | used to know
No longer catch my eye.
Their face and voice to me remain
The same as ycsteryears;
But space and time have cut in twain
Our mingled joys and tears.
We stop and wonder where they are,
And why they left US so.
To find abode upon some star?
There's none Of us that know.
The mental plane on which they live
Is separate and distinct;
'Tis only thoughts, we them can give
Other greetings are extinct.
They're 6nly stripped Of mortal sense
And free from all its pain;
Enjoying spirits recompense
For losses, now their gain.
They've made some milestones more
than we
Along the eternal trail,
That yet remain for US to see
While passing through the vale,
