Let's Trade With
Gipsy Smith, ,Jr

As the end of the great revival, the
greatest Hattiesburg has ever known,
is close at hand, the Hattiesburg
American would suggest that this city
extend to this brilliant evangelist, Clip

here each year for the purpose Of
holding protracted meetings.
It would be a great thing for Hat
tiesburg and the surrounding terri
tory to have Mr.. Smith on it's yearly
payroll, not necessarily to hold re-
vivals, but, if not this, then to preach
a series of sermons.
Not in the history Of South Missis-
sippi has there ever been a mar
among the people who has done Sc
much to strengthen religion and place
it on heart basis. He has demon.
strated that people must not only pro-
fess religion, NUT not only be "borr
again." but they must LIVE religion
it must become a part of their daily
lives. He has shown us our neglec,
of the Christ who died that we nigh,
live. He has shown us that much de,
pends on us; that we must be willing
to be saved, or it cannot be accom-.
plished contrary to Gods will. There's
a way of salvation, call it plan, meth
cd or anything else you may.
Gypsy Smith, Jr., is peculiarly fitted
for this work. God has made him a
power in reaching the people.
How happy all would feel if they
knew Mr.. Smith would again come to
Hattiesburg in 1928!
He has reached the people who have
been difficult to reach heretofore, and
he has aroused the church member.

The tabernacle is monument to his
ability; we will use it when he comes
again.
Why not put him on the city's pay.

have Hattiesburg as one Of his
charges 70 visi. yearly? The people
here undoubtedly are able to raise the
money needed, and it would buoy us
up during the year to know that he
would be back and help hold Hatties-
burg for God and the blood-stained
Cross.

this effect. Hattiesburg MISS
