Collars are tubular articles Of ar-

Al collar consists Of several square

TAeERNAcLE MEETING
DRAWING TO CLOSE

b " lf
The pastors Of the four churches
Rev. Fitting Of the Lutheran. Rev.
Taylor, Of the M. E.. Rev Ward OF the
Presbyterian, and Rev. Sizemore Of
the Advent Christian church. united
in inviting Evangelist Edwin Russell
Nance and his party to conduct the
campaign in Glasco, beginning Janu-
ary 23rd. The tabernacle centrally
located has proven q great benefit TO
the. success of the work
The evangelistic services, in the
tabernacle are growing in interest
and in power. People who attend the
meetings realize that truly great
man is among u.s. Those who do not
attend do not realize what they are
missing in failing To near the gospel
an proclaimed by the evangelist. ?
Mr.. Nance has been a pastor him
self for over four years and under
stands the problems confronting
them, so his attitude toward the min
lStSI Is that VI a oiOthSh hSApSi' 80
loves Christ, men and the church.
He is of the Moody, Chapman type
of evangelist. He does not initiate:
he is an organizer and a leader. And
there is not the slightest tint of com
mercialism about him.
AS to his message, it was agreed
from the first by those who heard
him, that Mr.. Nance and the devil
would never be friends. He breaches
a pure and powerful gospel, never
stunning to declare the whole coun-
sci of God. His message flows at his
will with the freshness and purity Of
a clear mountain stream. He never
gives himself to abusing folks nor
stoops to use vulgar word. The
work is SO thorough and so organized
that it will continue to bear fruit long
after the meetings have closed.-The
