mend the Vegetable Compound to my
friends as it has certainly given me
great relief. "-Mrs.C. B. ROBINSON,
608 N. Lincoln St., Amarillo, Texas.
The Vegetable Compound is a
splendid medicine for women. Tire
lieves the troubles which cause such
symptomsas backache, painful times,
irregularity, tired and WORKOUT feel
ings and nervousness. This is shown
again and again by such letters as
Mrs. Robinson writes as well as by
one woman telling another. These
women know what it did for them.
1t is surely worth your trial.
Housewives make a great mistake
in allowing themselves to become so
i'll that it is well-nigh impossible for
them to attend to their necessary
household duties.

DRESDEN
Old Time Revival
Meets With Success

SOUTH-A mighty old-ti re-
Ylval is being conducted in the
Methodist Episcopal church. Crowds
are attending night after night
possibly the largest gathering ever
seen in this town for the last Is
years was that which greeted the
evangelist, Miss Frances 3. Adams,
last Sunday night
Miss Adams declares she aims to
keep miles away from brainless sem
satlonalism, that as Gods ambas sa =
dor she would so preach His word
that eternity bound souls will feel
their need of immediate preparation
for splendid manly. womanly service
in His name here. and TO merit God s
well done at the close of life's little
day"
Pastor Bradeen and his loyal help
or. Mrs. Bradeen, and church people
are backing the evangelist in her
every plan. The boys and girls look
forward to her visits to the school
houses. and the teachers report in
one of these schools is that even the
boys and girls show the good the re-
vival is doing them as with greater
earnestneSs they seem to try to do
their school work and home work.
seeking TO win her word of praise"
One little fellow of ten years told the
evangelist he could not remember
now when he swore last. Now he says.
CORY Diamonds, stead Of swearin'."
Tuesday night eight mon and wo-
men left their seats in the Congrega-
ton and voluntarily Joined the large
number already gathering at the
altar.
A large chorus choir with Miss
Luella Costello, the orGanist of the
church, and the evangelist as leader,
renders valuable aid every night.
That these meetings are influencing
the whole town is very evident and
reaching out in power to the sur
rounding neighborhoodS as well.
Although the services We're sched-
uled to close Friday night and the
evangelist was to begin her work at
Dresden Mills next Sunday morning.
Miss Adams feels physically the need
of weeks rest and has accepted the
kind invitation of Mr.. and Mrs. Aleck
MunSey to remain with them as their
guest all of next week. going to Ores
den Mills Oct. u instead of Oct. IA.
She has accepted the urgent request
to preach at South Dresden next
Sunday evening as usual at 100.
Special music, by chorus and solos,
is promised. and plans are well I'M
derway to make this closing Sunday
service one of the best during this
campaign, The evangelist's text will
be-"What shall 1T profit a man If
he gain the whole world and lose his
own soul?' A certain lawyer upon
listening to this sermon said it was
the greatest plea for SOUL he had
ever heard.
