LAST WEEK OF THE
RELIGIOUS EFFORT
EVANGELISTIC PARTY MAKING
TELLING RECORD AT METH
ODIST REVIVAL MEETINGS

This is the last week of the spe-
cial religious efforts being exerted
in the form of series of revival
meetings at the Methodist church,
under the direction of Evangelist
Orcutt and his party.
Since the opening night on Octo-
Der both large crowds have attend
ed each of the services until at times
the seating capacity of the church
was taxed to the limit.
The people of the town and COM
munity have given the evangelistic
party most hearty welcome and in
every instance given them needed
support Rev. Circuit has been
preaching the gospel on live and in
teresting ubjects-subjects which
were of interest to every human be-
ing, for in the end all must face the
judgment and those who failed to
heed his entreaties must answer to
the Creator for his or her own indi-
vidual indifference.
After preaching gospel sermons
for almost two weeks, Rev. circuit
broke the spell on Friday evening
and devoted the entire service and
his every ounce of energy to
patriotic address. 1t being
Armistice Day, and now one Of
the legal holidays, the oppor-
tunity was not lost in making
it the occasion for renewing our pa
triotism.
Rev. circuit is forceful speaker,
and the manner in which he deliver
ed the message was of deep signifi-
canoe. He review the incidents that
led up to the entrance of America
into the World War and denounced
in no uncertain terms the nations
responsible for the carnage and
bloodshed. He upheld the American
soldiers and was profuse in praise
for their many heroic deeds. But
in all his remarks he did not for one
moment lose sight Of the hand of
God manifested throughout the dark
days of the war and the days that
followed the, signing OF the Armis-
tice, which brought to a close the
Huns most cruel and inhuman de-
hatchery of mankind.
Throughout the entire series of
meetings, Rev. circuit has plainly
pointed out the way of salvation. He
has laid special emphasis on the
need of preparing for the day of
judgment. The cricified Christ will
some day come to claim His own.
Those who have accepted Him as
their own personal Saviour will
spend eternity in that place He has
gone to prepare, while those who re-
ject Him here will be forever lost.
It is momentous question and one
that must be settled. Many are set
Ting that question. The first call for
''trail hitters" was made at the Sun
day evening service and up to this
time about 10 persons have made
the decision. Forty of this number
are accessions to the membership OF
the Methodist church and about half
OF that number are persons past six
teen years OF age.
Following is given the themes of
DIR. circuit for the remainder of the
week:
Thursday evening-Ladies' night.

Friday afternoon Institute-"The

On next Sunday the meetings will
close. On that day free-will offer
ing will be taken, the amount thus
received will be given to Rev. Or
cult for his work in the community.
He should be literally rewarded,
and no doubt a sum commensurate
with the lasting good he has done
the community will be raised.
