The Revival.
The congregation was much
larger last night at the Metho
dist church than at any previ
ous service.
The people who attend realize
that the pastor has made no
> mistake in securing the services
of Brother Bearden. That his
messages are what the people
need, no one doubts.
The services will continue at
i 3 p. m. and 7:30 p. m. Saturday
' ' will be no exception. Sunday af
ternoon at 3 o’clock Brother
Bearden will speak to the men. j
Every man in town has an invi
tation to hear him. He will be
^ glad to have all the men out.
The singers are doing good
work. The people should make
an effort to attend these services.1
It is quite safe to say that!
/ three-fourths of the people who |
have been converted, were con- \
verted through the influence of
a revival. If you enjoy real gos
pel preaching, come to this meet
ing. All are welcome and are in
vited to take part in these serv
ices,

Christian Endeavor Social.
The Christian Endeavor social
given at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Earl Folk last evening,
was largely attended. Miss Myr
tle McCuistion played several se
lections on the violin, which
were greatly enjoyed. After va
rious games were indulged in,
all present entered a contest
Each guest was provided with
pencil and paper, the one writing
the song “America” correctly
was given a prize. This created
much merriment with the con
testants. Mrs- B. H. White was
the lucky winner.
Sandwiches and coffee were
served, the guests departing at
a late hour.

World Needs More Wheat.
Ottawa, Sept. 18.—As a war

means to enlarge the wheat a
