The Henry County Weekly 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 A royal welcome to all on the One Hun- rasam a fS| dredth Anniversary of the best county in I EI -m 1 § |Jr 11 h § | 1 the world awaits you at the 111 || Ij fy| |J _ We are always ready with the most delicious ICE CREAMS and SODA WATERS.
