Revival services in progress at the Methodist church have been character ized by a large attendance and deep interest from the very beginning of the series. The visiting preacher re marked that in all his experience he had never seen so large a gathering on the opening night of a revival cam paign. Several additions to tlitv mem bership of the church have already been made and the interest is increas ing daily. On the first day of the meeting Rev. W. T. Hamby preached a remarkable sermon on the Conversion of Paul. On Monday night Messrs. Thomas and Haynes of Emory University spoke to a large crowd. Rev. A. if. Stanford of Gastonia, N. C., arrived on Tuesday, preaching for the first time at the Tuesday night ser- j vice, fully sustaining the reputation that had preceded him as a forceful gospel preacher. Bro. Stanford captur ed the crowd at the very first service; and the success of the meeting was as sured by the impression made upon the great crowd at the very beginning of his ministry. Mr. Stanford is pre-emi nently a gospel preacher, but his deliv ery and manner are so attractive that the congregation literally hangs upon his words. Tlie music under the leadership of Mr. 11. L. Etheridge is proving u most popular feature of the meeting. The •choirs, senior and junior, are in six sections and the chorus singing of these hundred or more voices has seldom been excelled. Mr. Etheridge, besides possessing a solo voice of unusual charm, bus the happy faculty yf being able to get everybody else to sing, and the results have been truly marvelous Services are being held daily at 10 a. m. and 8 p. m., the morning service lasting only for one hour. There will be only one service at the church Sat urday, this being at 10 a. in. for chil dren and young people. Sunday will be a great day with ser vices at the regular hours and added mass meeting for women In the after noon, while the men will meet at the First Baptist church. This meeting is intended to help all the folks of Barrow county of all de nominations. and all of tiiese services are open to the general public. The wisdom of the simultaneous plan hV.s already been demonstrated, for no sin gle auditorium in the city would begin to hold the folks wtio have been at tending the night services at the va rious churches.

A PLEA FOR RETURN TO RIGHTEOUSNESS Old Fashioned Righteousness At A Diseouut for Past Several q Years. r ,A s 'A ' ’ Religious services are being held in the various churches of Winder and a vigorous effort is being made by our people to purify our community life and set ourselves right with our God. This is the opportune time for us all to think seriously of conditions in our midst, to give ourselves to meditation and prayer, and to challenge the prom jw . g of our Heavenly Father, and see if He will open the windows of righteous ness and help us to build back some of the broken ramparts of our business, 1 social mul church life. I Old fashioned righteousness, that ■ righteousness taught in the Word of ’God, and that righteousness which brings prosperity, peace and happiness to a people has been at a discount for the past few years. And we have gone off after strange gods, the gods of un certainty, of inflation and of unwise business ideas and transactions. As a result we have been well-nigli ship wrecked upon the rocks of deflation, and some of us have gone down beneath tire angry waves of the storm. It is time to call a halt. It is time to get back into the paths of righteous ness, to pray our God for forgiveness and to sot our faces toward the king dom of heaven. Let us use the present days in which men of God are proclaiming the gos [,el of righteousness and salvation in our city to find our Lord and to walk in the I jeace > l >ro8 " perit.v and happiness. Righteousness is necessary to every man and woman in all the affairs of life. When we are right with God, we are better merchants, better busi ness men, better professional men, hot ter farmers, better laborers and hettet home-makers than we can possibly be otherwise. When we get right with God, we will have confidence in each other, we will be honest with our fel lowmcn, business conditions will im prove and God will bless us. No busi ness can succeed without churches and schools, and no community can pros per without these great institutions. Hence, we beseech every one to at- ’ tend these meetings. Take time to get closer to your Go t, learn His ways and walk therein. It will do you good. It will make you a better mail or a bet ter woman. It will bring happiness and joy into your life. It will bring prosperity into your business affairs, and our town and county will again come into an era of good will towards one another and success will crown our efforts. In the meantime, when you are not attending church you will find our -tore a good place to do your trading. Best of goods and acceptable prices will always be given you. J. T. STRANGE COMPANY.
