THE PEOPLE ARE HEARING THE LORD’S GOSPEL GLADLY Revival has Begun al St. Paul that Promises Great Things Rev. C. T, Ivey of Barnesville is assisting Rev. F. D. Cantrell in a series of revival meetings at St. Paul Methodist church on Grove street. 'The Charlie D. Tillman hymn books are used by the large choir and many ol‘ the songs sung that were personally conducted by Mr. Tillman recently during the Bridg ers-Tillman revival. Last Sunday morning Mr. Ivey’s theme was the influence of early home training upon men and women, and the government at large. He traced the downfall of nations to a weakening and crumbling of the moral walls of a home. He pictured vividly the resigna tion of man to the embitterments of this life, and his utter abandon ment to all that is evil; how it was possible for him, during the depths of despair, to lose confidence in all mankind, and have but one thread left hanging on which to base his hope, and that one unbroken link, the faith in the prayers of his par ents that during childhood were heard sent up from the family altar. He insisted that the Christian home life was the test, and if pre pared for that, that the imeecings and demands of outward life were as nothing. Mr. Ivey is an excellent preacher, and the people will be given the benefit of his sermons twice daily— at 10 o’clock in the mornings and 8.15 in the evenings. Shannon Kicks Back.
