In last Sunday’s issue of the
Atlanta Journal there appeared a
clipping from the Henry; Couidy
Weekly in regard to ,ihe prayer
over the telephone by Rev. J. A.-
Jackson during the recent,revival
at Bethany. The Chrisiian ‘lndex
of Atlanta recently reproduced
the article from The Weekly, and
by chance a copy of that paper
fell in the hands of a prominent
citizen of Sabine, Texas, who was
formerly a citizen of this’State,
and after reading -the incident in
regard to Brother .Jackson, .he
was impressed to write and give
«•
Brother Jackson an incident in
regard'to himself which Brother
Jack Son had never known befpre.

son visited the home of mis gen
tleman, then a voung man. Dur
ing tiis stay in the horne*lhat day
Brother Jackson read from* the
third chapter of John, and the
reading of that passage* o|. Scrip
ture* so impressed hiih that he
confessed Christ, and upon read
ing the article which accidentally
fell in'his hands in his far-a-wav
home, he was moved to write-
Brother Jackson and'tell this ex
peri°nce. This goes to prove the
great power there is in the read
ing of God’s word
The South River Association
which met last week, paid Brother
and Mrs. Jackson, who was a for
mer moderator of this association,
a glowing tribute of respect, and
to express their appreciation of
his noble work in former years
they sent him a nice contribution,
amounting to between STS and
S2O, which was a volunteer gift of
the association.

The .Library Committee widies
the public to take notice of the

the library will be open every
Monday afternoon from 4:30 to

noon from 4:30 to 5:30, with Mrs.
O. L. Adams as librarian. New
books are coming in,' and every
one is asked to enjoy them. The
club does not solicit the town for
books, but merely states that any
book that any one has and would
like to put in this library would be
gratefully received —or if a per
son has a real new book, and
would lend it to the rent she!? for
a while it would help the club,
and still the owner would not be
out anything.
