DR.. Thornton Preaching
in Townsend Club Hall

DR.. Chas. L. Thornton, who ha!
been preaching for the last three
weeks, will continue his meetings ir
the building used by the Townsend
club. This building is the first one
south of the First National bank. "A
most cordial invitation is given to
the public to come and hear the
messages which will be given by DR.
Thornton. Here are the subjects:
Thursday night THE Cross OF
Christ, and it Glory" Friday night,
Samson and Delilah-the Lady
Barber" Saturday night THE
Church and Why She Lives to Day"
Sunday night a very important
message will be given and the sub
ject will be 1.-The Four Horsemen Of
the Apocalypse" This picture will be
found in the 9Th chapter Of the book
of Revelation. Before coming to
the meeting on Sunday night, it
might be of interest to read care
fully and prayerfully this chapter
in Revelation. DR.. Thornton will
discuss in this message, what rela-
ton there is between this vision Of
the Four Horsemen and the times
of great crisis, through which we
are now passing. Remember we are
meeting in this hall instead Of the
Christian church, where the meet
ing has been held for the last three
weeks.
Every night Of the meetings this
week, there will be special music by
Rev. @. v. Shattuck. Mrs. Shattuck
and the children. Come and hear
these sweet singers of the old time
Gospel hymns. You will be refresh
ed in both body and soul as you
listen to them, each night.
