LIKE THE SINGLE Manhattan
the double-M requires the service
of only one cherry. Naturally,
the caused by the alb
sence of the second cherry must
be filled with life-giving whiskey,
and the buyer gets a bargain. In

AS I say, the double martini
and the double Manhattan may
exist in New York, but not in my
social circles. Neither does the

introduced on my latest trip.
This consisted of a water glass
half-filled with bourbon and
served with a bottle of beer. The
object was to chase A with &,

ess, the dean of women in a
secondary school, then proceeded
to lamp down both with a half
glass of brandy. This seemed a
stunning tour de force, both
gastronomically and educational
ly.
These dosages would feel in

know. But I have returned nome

stomach is an all-purpose, lead
lined organ, impervious to such
seditious brews as the banana COW

blended in an electric mixer) ana
such incandescent mixes as the
cocoanut grenade, equal parts OF
coconut milk, gin and pernod.
On the whole, we New Workers
are staid sober-sides, cautious and
conservative in our drinking, and
much maligned in our habits. A

LET'S EVALuATE
MT. LIONS REVIVAL

"I'm so glad he's back to Lib
erty City. I'll be right there"
"He certainly has power with
God"
"Words cannot express how
much good this revival has done
me-
Il must be on time. don't
want to miss one word that
preacher has to say"
"He makes the way so plain a
fool cannot err"
when he is preaching it
seems that there is a light around
his head"
No doubt that the twenty-four
converts and the eighteen re-
claimed souls felt that Moses"
had led them out of the house of
bondage and then had to leave
them. Joy came however when
they realized that Joshua is here
to lead them on to the Promise
Land.
The revival was conducted
with dignity, simplicity and
Power from God. People were
convinced that God, the same
yesterday, today and forever
They had to agree also, that if |
be lifted up, 1 will draw all men
unto me.

GIahdIn, pastor and loyal men,
berS of Mount Zion Baptist
Church, for the history -making
revival just ended. It was obvious
that MT. Zion has leadership with
vision, and members who accept
that leadership. Spiritual and fl
nanclal preparation were made
before the evangelist came. They
aid great deed when they
brought the Rev. C. S. Fielder of
Daytona Beach, Florida, here for
ten days. They were indeed, Ten
Eventful Days.
The first message, Monday
night, April Is, was, 1.-THE Need
for a Revival" Saints and sim
nerS were convinced that he knew
what he was talking about. and
many decided to follow through.
After that first message was
preached with so much power.
the hearers went out and said to
others, Go hear the man preach"
Among the other messages
were: "The Power of the Holy
Church." "There is Power in the
Blood" "The Conclusion of the
Whole Matter" "What Will You
Give in Exchange for Your. Soul"
THE Effect of Sin on The Soul"
Souls were converted each night.
Christians were carried to higher
heights each time he preached.
ALI have read or heard of the
Day of PentecOSt. That Day came
again on Sunday, April %, 1851.
The message was: "God Chal-
tenges Man, Man Challenges God"
Job and Hezekiah were examples
of the challenge. The fire from
Heaven fell as that man of God
lifted up Jesus. He made the way
of Salvation so plain that a six
year old child understood and &C
cepted Christ. The child said, "T
want to love God. L want to be
baptized" Sinners and backslid-
ers from six to sixty came to
Jesus. One man said, 81 have tried
40 walk down that isle for three
years and could not; but today I
Just had to come down." Anoth-
er said, Something got a hold of
me and I could not stay in my
seat"
The TRANSPORTATION" took
place on the closing night. The
message was: "The Weights and
The Sins" Only a "Pharoah"
could have listened to that mes
sage and not decide to lay aside
at least some of his weights and
sins. 1t was impossible to build
three tabernacles and remain on
the mountain; but the Holy Spirit
came down with the hearers, thus
making them better prepared to
do the work in the valley.
SOME THOUGHT PROVOKING
STATEMENTS OF THE
EVANGELIST
Sin is sin, whether in high OF
low places.
Some people say that two
clean sheets will not harm each
other.
l tell you that God will burn
up both of the sheets.
You may break a butterfly's
wing but you cannot reduce it to
a caterpillar.
The first people to seek Jesus
were the Wise Men. The fools
and the igonrant hadn't given
Him thought.
Training is good; but it is SC
much better when it is tied ur
with religion.
God made one woman without
a woman, and one man without
a man, Example: His soul melt
ing expressions were: Will you
accept Him tonight?" Won't you
come to Jesus?"
SOME STATEMENTS THE
PEOPLE MADE
He is we'll trained, dignifieo
and filled with power from God
Surely that man is man OF
God.
