The evangelistic services closed last
Sunday evening The congregations
continued good during these three
weeks of special efforts and the re-
suits have been MIDST gratifying. The
members have been quickened in their
spiritual lile back sliders have been
reclaimed, and sinners have been con-
verified. Evangelist Colby has been
interchangeable in his labors, working
day and night to win souls for the
Master. His visits to the sick and
shut-ins have been full of inspiration
and cheer and helpfulness to them,
and some have been converted thru
those visits The work opened aus
piciously the first evening or the
campaign with seven conversions, and
the NUMBER OF tOHNeIlS ihNi c'oSd
tinually until the last evening wheh
four new ones took their stand Tor
Christ. 1t was difficult to bring TINS
last meeting to a close. so responsive
was the feeling of fellowship. IL Is
quite probable that the evangelist
will supply for Mrs. Sampson when
she takes her vacation. Forty-eight
have taken a definite stand for Christ
during these meetings.
Sunday was another great day in
our church. There were baptisms
mt both services, eight in all. Twenty
five have been baptized already as
result of these services and other
baptisms will follow later. twenty
seven have united with the church
thus far The Sunday morning ser
mon on Calvary" was truly wonder
full. while Brother Colby's solos, cal.
vary" and "rhe Old Rugged Cross
fastened his message in the hearts Oh
his hearers.
Some of our people attended the
special services at Scion MONDAY
