indicate that the kidneys and blad

Series of Meetings at
The Baptist Chutch
These are to begin Sunday
week, April the 24th. We are ex
pecting Rev. R. L. Bolton, pastor
at Madison, Ga., to do the preach
ing and Brother Ben S, Thompson,
a member of brother Bolton’s
church and chairman of the Lay
men’s Executive Committee of the
Georgia Baptist Convention, to
lead the singing. This series of
meetings thus scheduled will make
the last week in April one of un
usual interest and importance to
the people of McDonough as it
will include the time-honored me
morial exercises under the auspices
of the U. I). C. chapter, as an
nounced last week for Tuesday,
the 26th, and the Flint River S. S.
Convention previously announced
for Wednesday and Thursday, the
27th and 28th. But there will be
no real conflict in the order of
exercises during these extra days
as we hope to so arrange daily
programs that each will contribute
in interest to the other until the
protracted services will have ex
clusive control and be continued
at least ten days. lam sure our
people will greatly enjoy the serv
ices of this gifted preacher and
earnest worker for the salvation
of souls and this concecrated lay
man whose splendid powers have
been devoted to the Lord’s cause.
I consider that we are fortunate in
securing these men to lead us in
these meetings. Let us make every
preparation for their coming*
Most earnestly would I plead with
my own people to make adequate
preparations for the entertainment
of the S. S. Convention for two
days and “to make ready” for the
coming of “Him Whose we are
and Whom we serve.” "No great
er blessing could be ours than a
genuine revival of religion in our
midst. To this end we most cor
dially invite the co-operation of
everybody and specially ask an in
terest in the prayers of God’s
people. Further announcements
will be made at next Sunday’s
services to which all are invited.
