VOL. XLVII-
REVIVAL AT BAPTIST CHURCH
CLOSED WEDNESDAY NIGHT
One of the greatest revivals in
the history of the McDonough
Baptist Church cause to a close on
Wednesday night, May 4. The
meeting continued for 11 days,
beginning on April 24. Through
Wednesday night there were-30 ad
ditions, 23 for baptism .and the
remainder by letter and watchcare.
The attendance was good at all
services. The crowds last Sun
day overflowed the main audito
rium of the church and partially
filled up the Sunday School room.
The preacher who assisted Rev.
W. W. Arnold, the local Baptist
pastor, was Rev. R L. Bolton, the
pastor of the Baptist Church of
Madison, Ga. The singer was Mr.
Ben Thompson, a layman of the
Madison church, and the chairman
of the Laymen’s Committee of the
Georgia Baptist Convention. Dr.
W. W. Arnold in speaking of the
gracious revival, said, “of course
the prominent 'feature of this great
meeting was the preaching by
Rev. R. L. Bolton, whose grace
and ease in the pulpit charmed
his hearers at every service. Mr.
Bolton is a man of strong convic
tion, but he tactfuUy and fearless
ly inspires his hearers as he de
develops his theme by clear think
ing and forceful presentation. His
vocabulary is choice and elegant,
his manner graceful, and his de
livery pleasing. His loyalty to
truth, as he sees it, carries con
viction, while his deep spirituality
lends a charm that is uplifting.
Our people are unanimous in ac
cording to him the utmost sinceri
ty and purpose, and an eager de
sire for the salvation of souls. He
will ever be a welcome visitor
among us, and we are grateful
for the splendid service that he
has rendered.”
Rev. Arnold, in speaking of Mr.
Thompson, said: “It is indeed re
freshing to see a business man,
vigorous, strong, and zealous for
the Lord and His Kingdom. It
indicates a new day in the King
dom to see a layman going out
with his pastor on a mission like
Mr. Thompson came to McDon
ough. He does not claim to be
a soloist, but he sings, and best of
all he gets other people to sing
the old songs with enthusiasm
