BIG REVIVAL IN PROGRESS

The revival conducted by the con-
gregation of the Church of God, OF
Westminster, Md, begun last Sunday
evening with a very good attendance,
| considering the inclement wealth
err. Prayer has been the topic for con-
sideration at each service during the
week, and all over the city cottage
prayer meetings are being held, with
very gratifying results.
The meetings thus far have been en-
tirely preparatory, making ready for
great effort to reach the un-churched
of Westminster. The meetings, Mr..
Gonso, the pastor of the church, would
like to have the public understand, are
not purely for the benefit of the local
Church of God of Westminster, but
rather a community effort. We hope
and pray that through the united eff
fort now being put forth, Jesus the
Christ. the Saviour of Men, Will find
welcome entrance into every heart and
home of this community
Special efforts are being put forth
by the church and pastor, in order to
reach the unsaved. We do not want to
stone unturned in this special
effort to reach men and women for
Christ
Mr.. Gonso and a committee from the
Church of God last Saturday night,
about 10 p. M. paid visit to the four
large pool rooms of Westminster, for
one purpose, and one purpose only
and that is to reach men for Christ
and the Church. We simply meant TO
prove by actions which speak louder
than words that the Church of God
has the soul salvation of men at heart.
The congregations at these places
were very lare and the writer took adj
vantage of the opportunity, and with
the fev.est words possible made known
the object of his visit, after which all
were cordially invited to attend the
meetings now in progress on Center
street |, as pastor of the Church of
God, want to inform the public that
l received in all four places that
visited last Saturday night, the very
best of courtesy and respect, and here
by wish to thank the management OF
all these places for making no inter
ference.
We wish again to extend very well
come invitation to the public, in the
language of one of old, Come thou
with us and we will do thee good"
JOHN II. GONSO.

DEER PARK

The Christian Endeavorers have
been very busy the past week attend
ing the services every night in honor
of the great c. e. movement. All who
attended will agree with me that We
are more than repaid for our loss of
sleep.
On Sunday night, we started to OBJ
serve the week. This was night of
conservation. Original testimonies
were given on the subject, What has
Christian Endeavor done for you?"
These testimonies were indeed inspir-
ing.
Monday evening was dedicated to
our Juniors Rev. Ripley, of West
minister, delivered the message The
JURORS rendered well prepared pro-
gram. and a violin duet, and singing
by our male chorus was included
in the service of the evening.
On Tuesday evening we were fortu-
nate to have with us Rev. Walck of
Westminster, who brought us a mes
sage on this subject, THE Quiet
Hour" 1t was message that shall
never be forgotten by the many who
heard it. Special music.
On Wednesday, evening our county
sented to us our JOB" for the coming
year. The Westminster quartette fur
niShed music of the evening.
THE Tenth Legion" was the subject
for Thursday evening and Mr.. George
Mather, of Westminster, brought US a
message that was very inspiring.
On Friday evening, Rev. j. S. Adam,
of Silver Run, brought us the message
on Personal Work" also special mu-
sic by our male chorus.
Greatest of all was the meeting on
Sunday night, led by our pastor, which
concluded our observance of the week.
This was made a night of decisions
and altho it was rainy and stormy
many came out. Many decisions were
made that are going to mean much to
us. our church and our community.
Our society adopted the Four Square
Wall Chart and had ITO points to start
with. After Sunday night many more
points were added, and we are not far
from the silver star. What rural so
ciety can beat this?
Don't forget the oyster supper held
by the Deer Park Sunday school, at
Smallwood Hall, February % and %.
Everybody come; make it a success
never to be forgotten
