Plans Of Pri
ans Of Prince Ave. j
Bapfist Summer
Revival Progresses
Plans for an Evangelistic Cru
sade of unusual proportion in
July were announced by the
Prince Avenue Baptist Church
about a month ago. They have
secured a dynamic young preach
er, who within the last year
made an extended tour through|
Europe catching a first-hand
glimpse of our uneasy world sit
uation both politicall,, and reli
giously. The Evangelist is Regin~
alq Wall, Pastor of the First Bap
tist Church.of Buford, Georgia.
The Rev. Weall preached his
first sermon when he was eigh-|
teen yeers old in his home church,
First Baptist Church of Thom
son, Georgia. The attendance upon
this occassoin was so large that
both the auditorium and the!
opened Sunday School Annex
would not accommodate the peo
rle. He has conducted a number
of successful revivals in Georgia, !
South Carolina, Penngylvaniza
and New Jersey. Perhaps hisl‘
most spectacular campaign was|
the Country-wide Revival he or- l?
genized and conducteq when he'
was twenty-three years old on.
the Court House grounds in;
Thomson. i
Churches all over the county
fully cooperated and the revival
grew to mamouth propo.rtion,l
Three thousand persons attended
the closing service. It was saic
that the late Senator Thomas F;
‘Watson never spoke to a lgrger |
}crowd in his home county. Public
sentiment was greatly aroused:
and changes for the better took‘
place all over the county. Rev.|
Wall does not retort to tricks or|
Bigh' pressure; “but - rether; . his |
messages are sound probing, in-;
spiring and challenging. The |
Prince Avenue Baptist Church is'!
rreparing and praying for a great |
spiritual 2wakening in our town]
and county. They request all
Christian people interested in this,
spiritual awakening to join them f
in praving for this coming meet
ing in July. t
