Evangelist Albert c. Fisher and
party still hold large crowds both
morning and evening. The morn
ing services are largely attended by
the Christians Of Lubbock and il Is
doubtful If one escapes without he
ing reminded at every service Of
some neglected duty to our neigh
Dor, community, family, church and
our Lord. The evangelist has
wonderful way Of getting down
where one lives and digs us out
with the pick and shovel Of the gos-
pei in his own .inmitable way found
in his originality Of speech. His
unusual knowledge Of human nature
and sin gathered up in his wide
range Of reading, travel and know
ledge Of the Bible, the Evangelist
has unusual poise, personality, pleas
ing in manner and clear voice, which
gives him right-of-way into the
hearts Of his hearers and his wit
and humor coupled with hot-shot
methods, grips the people, saint and
sinner alike Fisher spares neither
friend or foe in his messages,
neither pastor or official, high nor
low, and all share alike in tears,
sighs and laughter at the will Of TINY
orator and minister Of the Christ
he loves so much and serves. Wes-
ley in theology, Paul in exposition,
John in appeal, Peter in fearless
ness. Moody in his earnestness, Tai
mage in his language and Christ in
his devotion, and love all find a
likeness in Evangelist Fishers
preaching, and we doubt If we ever
had a messenger Of the cross OF
Christ in Lubbock who has pictured
sin, the sinner. both in and out OF
the church, and salvation, than has
this fearless, and yet humble servant
Of the Lord To hear him once IL
10 hear him again, and II there are
people who have not heard the evan
gelist you are missing the oppor-
tunity Of your life to hear an evan
gelist of nationwide reputation.
The young people Of Lubbock are
being aroused as never before in
Mrs. Fishers work. She has ability
and tact with the young people and
some fine work is being done in that,
department Of the work. The boys
and girls are organized into Rus
tiers and Hustlers, and such rustlinH
and husiling among the "kiddies'
has not been seen and the town IL
being aroused as not seen hereto
fore.
The big choir under the leader

soulful and helpful music. and the
people are enjoying il in throngs at
the meeting. The two pianos, and
the more than 100 voices, viOlinS
and horns all go 20 make the music
attractive and the new songs, Choir
uses and solos are thoroughly APP
preciated by the thousands in the
big tabernacle. Mr. Little's solo
last night was exceptionally fine
and we hope he will continue to
render in his own fashion these
beautiful songs that penetrate the
vast audience TO the furtherest lis
tener. Mrs. Fisher is fine soloist
Of unusual culture and quality, and
delights her hearers every time She
sings. We feel that Lubbock ~
fortunate in having this strong party
to be in her community for revi-
val and all the town. is indebted to
Rev. Ferguson, pastor Of the First
Methodist church in securing their
helps. Lets all put our shoulders
10 the wheel and make the rest OF
the meeting count for eternity in
the biggest fashion possible. Come
early and get good seat and do
your bit. The personal workers
meetings under the direction OF Mr..
Little is going in great fashion
and we are expecting great things
in the few remaining days Of the re-
