Very Successful Revival Meet
ing Regret Over MIR. kel-
lars Departure. New
Sign for Library.

The revival at the Baptist church
which has been in progress for two
weeks, closed on last Friday evening,
land the meeting was a great success
in every respect. Rev. Mr.. Fuller
who labored so faithfully in present.
ing the gospel, was magnetic, ear
nest and forceful speaker and won
many for the Lord. There were more
than twenty-five additions TO the
church, by profession and by letter,
and the entire membership was truly
revived, for greater love and service
for the Master and His kingdom.
Cooperation helped to make the
meeting great one The merchants
all closed their stores for the morn
ing services, and the high school at
tended in body, and it was an in
spring sight to see these young peo-
pie enter and be SO Impressed, which
they manifested. The Alaho (Sun-
shine) chorus was wonderful and the
impressions made on these young,
minds will continue to bear fruit. The
gospel is sung as well as preached,
so Mr.. Hoffman was a great force
here, too, for good. In appreciation
of the services of Rev. Fuller, very
substantial purse was presented him,
and good sum was also given the
singer.
Rev. David Kellar who has been
pastor of the Methodist church for
four years, will soon leave for his
new charge at Woodruff. The pastor
now of Woodruff, Rev. W. M. Ow-
ings, will come here. 1t is matter OF
deep regret to everyone that Mr..
Kellar is moved to another field for
service for he was beloved, not only
by his own flock, but by everyone IN
the town and community where he la
bored. The sweetest fellowship exist
ed between his church and the others.
Not ea,iiY was ellars
esteem but his good wife, and family
also. The prayers of all will follow
them and the wish that their lines
might fall in pleasant places.
On Sunday morning at the Baptist
church the Sunrise prayer meeting
will be held. This will be Victory
Sunday in the great rs Million
Campaign, and it is hoped that all
the churches concerned will meet in,
prayer at this morning hour. It was
suggested that those attending be
