Conditions existing in the world
today plainly show the tulhllment
OF Gods Holy Word, and we are LED
t. believe that the second coming Oh
Christ draweth nigh. Following a
statement by Brother Isaac wilkins,
III which he said he had been warned
of God and led by the Spirit to tell
the people that our Lords return
to earth is near, DR.. Morris preached
from Luke 21:36 and emphasized
the many startling facts on the Sc
cond coming of Christ.
About one hundred ladies. dressed
in SUPPLIES, presented a beautiful
candle light cantata at 500 P. M.
This pageant consisted of many new
features. such as had not been seen
before by many of us, and was given
under the auspices of the King )
Daughters, of which Mrs. Lena
Williams is president. S121 81 was
realized for missions and education.
Thrilling and inspiring were the
services Of Monday night, which
were held in interest of the Virginia
Seminary at Lynchburg- Va. DR..
Morris presantedi as he termed
"The Big Four. " These brilliant
race leaders stand in the front ranks
of our pulpit orators today. Presi-
dent A l.. James of the Virginia

place on the program on account OF
his health. About 1900 persons wit
