TEMPE. May 11.-About the time
the readers get their papers Friday
morning the flowers sent by the gen.
erous Tempe citizens, the ex-service
men in the hospital wards at Prescott
will be opening their eyes upon
rose garden of fragrant and vari-
colored flowers. We can even inag-
inc what they are saying, because we
have been there on similar occasions.
1T pays to advertise" is again ex-
emplified. The papers should get
part of the credit for the IL wash
tubs of 80 different kinds of flowers
that were brought to the Busy Corner
Thursday. Mr.. Herzberg and his
store force quit selling goods for the
afternoon and packed flowers. Box
after box was carefully packed and
wrapped to be taken by truck to
Phoenix, where they would be put Oh
the Ashfork train for Prescott Mr..
Horzbcrg called up Prescott and told
about the truckload of flowers that
would be there at midnight and re-
ceived word that they would be met
at the depot and unpacked at once, so
they would be fresh for the wards and
dining rooms at breakfast time.
Many thanks to everyone who helped
in any way Mothers day will be
all the brighter.
Revival Closes
The revival at the Christian
church, conducted by Evangelist w.
Graham Walker, Lexington, KY, and
Singer Edward L. Falls. Phoenix.
came to a close on Wednesday night
with a rather unique service for the
reception Of the new members.
After a talk on "Steadfastness'' to
new and old alike, State Secretary
r. e. Dunlap gave the charge to the
old members, laying upon them their
responsibility for the new material
coming into the church Following
this splendid charge, Bernard S.
Davis. pastor, called the roll of the
new members and the evangelist gave
the charge to these. All the new
members were lined up across the
front of the church and while an ap-
propriate song was led by Mr.. Falls
the membership extended the hand
of fellowship, closing by forming a
circle around the entire inside of the
church, while all poined hands and
sang 'Blest Be the Tie That Binds"
after which Mr.. Davis led in the
prayer of conservation. A social
period was enjoyed following this. in
which there were a number of vocal
selections by both Mr.. Falls and Miss
Greenhill accompanying at the piano.
1t was altogether very fine and
closing for a revival.
Evangelist Walker, assisted by Mr..
Falls and Pastor Davis. began a
meeting at Mesa last night which in
all probability will continue through
out the month.
