:'V CEDARTOWN STANDARD Devoted to the Best Interests of Cedartown and Polk County. Volume 36. Cedartown, Georgia, Thursday, March 30th, 1922. Number 10 MEETING HAS TRIUMPHANT CLOSE I THE BONUS BILL Simultaneous Services at Churches End Last Evening. A marvelouB Rories of meetings came to a close last evening, with re sults far beyond the expectations of most of our people. The idea of sim ultaneous meetings is a new one here, but it proved so successful and satisfactory that it is probable the same plan will be pursued again from time to time. The churches have all had the best of outside help.^and the > Word has been preached with earnestness und power from each of th* pulpits, and in each the excellent music has been an inspiring feature of the services. At St. James Episcopal church the mission has been conducted by Dr. JI. W. Fulford, of LaGra'nge, with r. Bernard Hirons, recently of Can- da, in a charge of the music and chil- en’s services. )• Dr. Chas. Kingsley, formerly of Florida but now the Evangelist of the Cherokee Presbytery, has been in charge of the services at the Presby terian church, with Mr. J. B. Belk, of Gainesville, as the song leader. It was a matter of regret that Dr. ohn W. Inzer, one of the greatest reackers ever heard here,had to re- bm Saturday morning to his work in ’.hattanooga, but his place at the i 'imt Baptist church was well taken by Rev. J. B. Tallunt, of Roseville. Mr. Edgar Staton, of Hall county, was in charge of the music. Dr. W. G. Crawley, of St. Paul’s church in Atlanta, has had the sym pathy and admiration of all in his de votion to duty, remaining in charge of the services at the First Methodist church in spite of the serious illness F<nt $4,000,000,000 Passed by House. The House last Thursday passed the ^4,000,000,000 soldier bonus bill. It provides cash payments to men entitled to receive $50 or less; an en dowment insurance certificate on which service men may borrow up to 50 per cent of its fnce value, and they are given the option of these of his son. Rev. B. F. Pim, whom j two provisions, or home aid, farm aid, everybody in Cedartown learned to * ^ an d settlement or “vocational train- love during the big tent meetings here last year, was in charge of the music and children’s services. In all the churches the keynote of the f meetings was to revive the mem bership and impress upon them the necessity of clean and honest living —without which professions of re ligion are a vain pretence.—as well as the conversion of those outside the church. In both respects the meet ings had gratifying Tesults. Each of the churches received substantial in creases in their membership. While the specliR meetings closed last night, it is expected that the special effort for reclamation and conversion will continue in all the churches. The visiting pastors, and singers who have done such noble work leave us with the appreciation, esteem and good wishes of all our people. ing. Under the rule a two-thirds major ity was roquired to pass the measure. The vote was 333 to 70. The bi|l now goes to the Sonata, where the Republican leaders will find it difficult to have it sidetracked. Thpir plan was to have it pushed through the House to catch the votes of the soldier boys in tho fall elec tions, and have it held up in the Sen. ate indefinitely for the benefit of the taxpayers.
