REVIVAL MEET
GROWS TOO
LARGE FOR
CHURCH
Evangelist Sargent Draws
Large Crowds to Pres
byterian Church.
CHURCH TOO SMALL
GO TO AUDITORIUM
The Charm Of Bro. Rock.
wells Voice Brings Au-
dience Into Song

Inc big revival meeting at the
presbyterian Church has begfl moved
TO the High School auditorium in
order to accommodate the crowds
that have attended nightly. A strong
religious sentiment has been awak-
ened by the fervid eloquence Of
Evangelist, Sargent, for with all the
gentleness OF inspired solicitude he
eats into the heart Of neglected re-
| l1glous duty, even with the kind
words that soften the rod of chas-
t1sement. While his feryency ia
tempered by softness Of expression.
the Vlv1dness of his lesson leaves 40
room for the guilty conscience to
creep behind shield. He NAV nor
point his finger at you, but your
dereliction will creep about in your
mind without finding a place to get
out.
The meetings began Monday, Jan.
lth, and have continued to Increase
IN attendance until the church is fon
small. The audiences have been at
tentlVe and interested, both old and
young, and the hearty participation
in the song program expressed bat-
ter than words the appreciation Of
this opportunity for religious enjoy
ment~ Kind thoughts and a c1eansed
conscience make a happy face and
Joyous heart, and no benedicfion
could sink deeper into the soul or
move It to better understanding Of
the love that forgives all sin than
the practical application of It's fun
damentals when Mr.. Sargent asked.
Thursday evening, that in it's stead
every one shake hands before leaving
the church.
But, aside from the inspiration fur
n1shed by Mr.. Sargent, no one could
help singing when led by such 4
voice as Mr.. Rockwell's. All the
harmony Of the songs was expressed
In such rich, smooth tones that the
flow of sound was contagious. II one
could not sing he or she was at least /
convinced that it was a duty to try,
for we believe Brother Rockwell had
them all going. The choir singing
was also fine. The singing was en-
joyed by every one, and the song
service was well selected.
: Local pastors have joined in the
effort to make this season OF revival
memorable one for Covington and
a blessing to the people.
Under the call Of Mr.. Sargent cot
tage prayer meetings were establish
ed in various parts of Covington
every morning from 10 to 1O:3U,
and prayer groups for men, women
and young people assemble Is min
utes before the evening service.

Special Train Takes Message.
Theatrical effect was added to the
great drama staged in Downing
Street Immediately after the signing
Of the treaty. which took place at
1880 o'clock in the morning. When 1t
became apparent that an agreement
might be reached the Prime Minister
caused instructions to be issued for

to take n messenger to Belfast.
This was necessary as Mr.. Lloyd
Gorge had promised Sir James Craig,
the Ulster Premier, that either new
proposals would be in the latter $
hands by today or the negotiations
would be finished
Immediately after the, agreement
was signed one of the Premier's secre-

stroyer was waiting and 1t conveyed
the secretary TO Belfast.

ferring the game of July 18th to

that the Directors would have out
voted us on the protest and thus
Rocky Mount would have been de-
clared the winner. AS a matter of
policy it was better to get the game

thus have the winner for the first
half known. For this reason the trans
fer was agreed to. Richmond will

The second week or the fight for
the rag during the remainder of the
season begins today. The week just
ended finds Rocky Mount and Suf-
folk tied for first place, with Wilson
Just a half game behind. This half
game difference is due to the fact that
the contest in Petersburg Saturday
was not played because of wet
grounds.

To those who saw the condition of
the ground there was really no reason
for calling the game OFF in Peters

The Virginia League Directors held
a rather interesting and at times ex-
citing meeting in Petersburg Satur-
day night. For an account OF the hap
penings at this momentous meeting
the reader can refer to another COL
umn in the Times The thing of
greatest concern to Wilson fans and
to those in Rocky Hount was the de-
Gliding of the winners of the first
half pennant. This will be decided in
Richmond on July 18th. at which
time the Wilson team will appear
there for the regular game, and for
the purpose of playing off the post
poned contest. Immediately follow
ing the playing of the regular game
the two and half inning due on the
game that was protested on June
18th. Will be played, and if Wilson
wins, overcoming the 6 to 4 score
against her, she will be declared the
winner of the first half. In case Will
SON cannot overcome this lead then
Rocky Mount will have won the
bunting. 1t is an interesting situation
and one that has seldom arisen in
organized baseball. 81
