Ed Cowan, of Atlanta, mill evan gelist of the Georgia Baptist conven tion, did the preaching and Mr. A. L. 'Turk, of Atlanta, led the singing. Rev. J. Frank Jackson, of Atlanta, who as sisted in the organization of this church six years ago, ran .over and preached several times towards the close of the meetings. Mr. Jackson is one of the most successful evangelists in the state and has seen over six thousand souls added to the church in hia ministry. MEETINGS CLOSE AT THE FIRSTBAPTIST The series of meetings at the First Baptist church came to a close Monday J idght with the baptismal service. For two weeks Rev. T. F. Callaway preach ed from two to four sermons daily. He greatly endeared himself to our people by his splendid sermons. He was a lawyer before he entered the ministry, a graduate of Mercer University. He is scholarly and orthodox in his preach ing and the people of all denominations who heard him-gladly pronounce him one of the sweetest spirited, and yet one of the most fearless preachers who ever worked in evnngellstic meetings in our city. His success in the evangel istic field everywhere is great. Mr. Rad Bell is a fine song leader, and did magnificent work here with the senior, junior and intermediate choirs. Sixty new members were added to the roll of the First Baptist church and , the great good accomplished by the meetings only eternity can reveal. The members invited the visiting i .preachers and pastor out daily, and lav . ish hospitality was bestowed upon the ■ preachers and singers by the loyal mem j hers of the church. Mr. Callaway delighted the school i children at both the high school and | the mill school with his pungent and : strong talks dally. One of the outstand- I ing features of the meeting was the I intense interest manifested by the fac ulty and student body of the schools. No evangelist who has visited <>ur city ever made a more favorable im pression upon our people than did our j .state evangelist. The Baptist Board is to be congratulated upon having the services of such a splendid mixer and j strong gospel preacher. Winder can never be the same after ,these good meetings. It is the unani j mo us consensus of opinion that the si- multaneous evangelistic meetings are the thing for all towns. In fact, a county-wide campaign is spoken of for another year, and it would be fine for Burrow county, the best county hi the state to set the pace. The following united with the church.

DAVID PERKINS TAKES OWN LIFE. Again our community has been sad dened and shocked over the death of David Perkins when the news spread throughout the community late Sunday afternoon that he had shot and killed himself. No reason is known for his committing the act. Evidently his mind became unbalanced as we learn that he had talked at times to the young people of the community about killing himself and also to bis parents, but nil thought that he was just jok ing. No one had any iden that he meant what he said. He was a good hoy went to church and Sunday school. I never knew him to take a back seat In church. He was 10 years of age at the time of his death. He leaves a father, step-mother, one brother and three, sisters to mourn his going nway. Also a host of relatives and friends. David will ho missed in the home and in (lie community. A place is vacant in liis home that never can he filled. The bereaved family have our deepest sympathy.—Midway < 'or.

GREAT REVIVAL ATi ME CHURCH CLOSED The Methodist church closed it’s ser vices Sunday in connection with the simultaneous evangelistic campaign, reporting 104 additions to the member ship, with others still to be received. It was an inspiring sight on Sunday morning to see the two long lines that stretched from the front of the church to the far side of the Sunday school room. There were many adults in this number, especially men, and at least 70 were joining the church for the first, time. The impressive reception service occupied the entire morning hour, and was a time of much congrat ulation and rejoicing. It is doubtful if such a scene Ims ever been witnessed before in the history of this aggressive church. Tiie spirit of the revival was shown in the Sunday school when with out any special effort, the record at tendance of (534 was reached, every class room being full to overflowing. It was remarked that the Sunday school had laid the foundation for such a meeting ns this many of the adult con verts not only coming from ijt • Sun day school hut joining the church at tiie Sunday school hour. Aftyr a few words of encourage ment to the new members the pastor; Rev. L. tv. Collins, read the beautiful baptismal and reception service, using largely the form prescribed for young people, which includes the recitation of the twenty-third Psalm. At the close, while several hymns were sung, tin right hand of fellowship was given to the new converts by the entire congre gation. The results can not he adequately given in figures. The spirit of the church is that of an army mobilized for aggressive effort In the work of the Kingdom of Christ. The added numbers now bring the membership of this church to 025 and the promise is that this is not the end but merely the beginning of anew era iu the life of tlie organization. Not one of the least results was the formation of a tithers league of almost one hundred members, and two young lady volunteers for life service. This was a meeting in which the en tire congregation united to attain these splendid results, hut too much cannot he said of the Inspiration that came from the preaching of Rev. A. L. Stan ford and the faithful and effective as sistance of R. L. Etheridge as director of the music. It was a team that any Church will find it hard to beat, and it is rumored that Brother Stanford is trying to secure Mr. Etheridge for per manent. work of this kind in the North State. The sucees of the simultaneous plan has been marvelous. Next year, learn ing by experience it, will he possible to improve on the few things that might make such a campaign even a greater stimulus to the spiritual life of the town. But even'this first year’s exiie ment has resulted in the greatest in gathering into the churches that Win der has ever known, and a nightly at tendance that has never been ap proached. The ministerial association has publicly thanked the business men, the school authoriities, and the various social organizations for their co-oper ation and special mention haR been made of the tireless and effective work of Mr. J. C. Stickney as advertising manager of the campaign. t THE SHEIK Tuesday, May 23, at The Strand Theater, Winder, Ga„ “The Sheik.” Admission: children 25c; adults 50c.
