Reuiual in Progress at Presby-
terian Church This Week

hundred years ago under King Je-
hoichim. The people had wandered
away from God and were worship
ping divers idols and gods, but had
forgotten the living God. The plea
of the prophet was for the people 20
get back to the religion of the one
God who had protected them and
brought them that far. The theme
offered an excellent foundation for
the development of an initial sermon
in a revival, and Mr. Nickel present
ed it in an earnest and telling man
ner.
He urged that the work of Chris
tians in a revival is worth nothing
unless the individual is in tune with
Gods spirit. His plea was that all
professors of Christianity, get down
on their knees to their God and seek
forgiveness for their sins before at
tempting any personal work, and then
pray and work earnestly for the sue,
cess of the revival in Bamberg. He
urged that the workers follow up
their prayers by personal visits; to
pray earnestly and expect for their
prayers to be answered.
A fine spirit of fellowship was evl-
dent at the meeting, and it is believ-
ed that much good will be accom-
plished as a result of the revival. Mr.
Nickel leads the singing himself and
he has few superiors in this line. Sun
day evening his voice was rather
hoarse, but he is now himself again,
and the splendid singing is one of the
attractive features of the meetings.
The Baptist and Methodist pastors
and their congregations have Joined
in the revival, and are adding their
prayers and work that the whole
town might receive blessing from
the services.

Pastor Phillip A. Nickel began a
series of revival meetings at the
PRESBYTERIAN church last Sunday
evening. Carrying out the spirit OF
fellowship and cooperation that has
been so evident among the denomina-
tions of Bamberg recently, both the
Baptist and Methodist churches call
ed off their evening services and JOIN
ed with Mr.. Nickel in the worship at
the Presbyterian church. Likewise
the mid-week prayer services at both
churches Wednesday evening were
called off in order that the congrega-
tions of all the churches of the town
might attend the revival meetings,
which are being held twice daily
throughout this week, at 10 O'Clock
in the morning and $50 in the even

Quoted by the pastor.
A large congregation attended the
meeting Sunday evening, and it was
rewarded by hearing strong appeal
for revival in the church and town
in the lords work. The pastor read
the first eleven verses of the third
chapter of Habakkuk for the Sripture
lesson, and his text was taken from
the second verse, 20, Lord, revive
Thy work. The Sunday evening
sermon was directed mainly to Chris
tians and was a plea that the church
people themselves first get right with
God and then so out and perform
the work that has been entrusted to
them by the Lord.

Gleanings.

The following paper was read be-
fore a recent meeting of the L. D. c..
by Mrs. ". P. Jones:
When our president phoned me a
few days ago that 1 was on the pro-
gramme for Gleanings, 1 was puzzled,
non-plussed, as to just what was ex-
pected of me. 1 thought at first of
refusing, pleading headache-any-
thing-rather than acknowledge my
ignorance, but Immediately an ex-
tract on spirtualism, which is being
so widely discussed today, came to
me. 1t is this: "The great question
as to whether the dead still live con-
tinues to occupy the front of the ma
tional STAGE" But the real question
ought to be, "Will the dead people
we see all about us ever come to life
before they pass over?' The world
is full of people in all stages of dis
solution. Then and there l determ-
ined that the chapter shall not be
made up of dead members this new
year of 1921, that l must be alive
and take my part.
Surely this item will be of interest
to all chapter members: For all

about which much southern history
has been constructed since 1851, will

which southern men gave their lives

Garland's refusal to accept the mil

said: "Oh, pshaw, that is old, Mrs.

The District Commissioners, it be-

of the city for the current fiscal year.

which. it is reported. amount to sew
erai hundred thousand dollars.
The budget bureau also has before
it today the request OF the police de-
partment for special appropriation of
$4,000 with which to patrol the city
during the arms conference.
Bills were introduced in Congress
several days ago calling for such an
appropriation, but it was found yes
terday that Gen. Dawes would have
to pass upon the proposition.
The Commissioners are hopeful
that the full amount asked for will
be granted, realizing that the police
department. with it's present small
personnel, would be further depleted by
the many special details of men that
will have to be made during the arms
conference.
in view of the fact that the con-
ference may last for months, 1t is
not felt at the District building that
so 600 is too much for special police
protection for the visitors.

Agenda May Stand.

About ninety-fivc members of the

to the arms conference are due to ar
rive in Washington some time Sun
day afternoon next, and arrangements
today are being made to give them
all appropriate reception at the
Union station.

meet them and cavalry escort Will be
provided while they are being shown
to their various quarters. The Fls'-
tors will include some of the naval
and military attaches of the delega =
tion.
The announced coming to Wash
ington of a number of unofficial
kssfs Zintent upon endeavoring TO
present 20 the conference subjects for
consideration which have been in
cluded in the agenda, has attracted
atteution in official circles. The be-
lief is that the conference will ad-
here closely to the original outline
of the work cut out for it.
Jews Seek Action.
Announcement is made of the intcn-
ton of the Union of Hebrew Congrc-
cations to endeavor to bring before the
conference, in behalf or the Jews of the
world, the question of religious equality
and racial prejudice. 1t is stated " A
communication sent out by this orSani-
cation that Simon Wolf of Washing
ton, chairman Of the committee on civil
rights of the union. and representative
at Washington of the Independent Or
der B'nai Birth, had written Secretary
of State Hughes asking to bring to the
attention of the conference ''the Unequal
tiles. inhumanities and lack of equal op-
portunity in some of the countries of
the world"
No official comment from the State
Department was Forthcoming upon this
communication, but the attitude of the
department is understood to be that
while the United States is always in
terested in religious equality, this sub
ject, along with many others Of great
Importance, is not on the agenda of the
conference Doubt is felt in official
quarters whether the subject can be
appropriately taken up in the consider
alton of the subjects which the nations
have tentatively agreed shall furnish
the material for the work of the con-
ference.
