Been, president of the Georgia Drainage Congress and to Secretary C F. An drews. The copies of this address will be distributed to parties Inter ested in drainage. The address tells In detail what can be accomplished It a state drainage law is passed in all states not now having drainage laws, and shows what a drainage law would do for undeveloped lands In Georgia. The morning meeting was jyell at tended and Dr. Phillips delivered a etiong, earnest appeal for a consecrat ed Christian membership.. ' But it was at tho afternoon meeting for men that the wot derful power of God be came so greatly manifest. The oc casion almost baffles description. Tho hurch was crofdod with men and Dr. Phillips Uml just delivered a ; emend- otisiy strong address on the life of • 3nmpso i using Incidents In the car eer of ‘he strong man to emphasise great practical truths. In the clos ing part of his great talk, carried away by his tremendous earnestness he unconsciously left the platform nnd moved dowr the aisle amongst the great congregation of men and as ho asks the Christian people to help him. It means this, that if those hundred of men live up to what they expressed a social revolution will take place in Waycross nnd a religious revival such us she has never seen before. It is a call definite nnd clear cut to every Christian man in Waycross, whether he be Baptist. MethodiBt, Presbyter ians, United Brethren and whatever other church ho belongs, to sink pre judice and line up behind this great preacher of the gospel of Christ and assist in completing a revival that 111 shake the entire city. The night meeting was a glorious^ one. The church was crowded every available scat and bench occupied. Dr. Phillips spoke on the subject "Pre pare to meet They God” In earnest forceful language he depicted the grav ity of delay nnd tho Inevitable day that must come. At the close a great number came forward and Join- led the Baptist anil Methodist cheren. Tho sweet singing of Mr. nnd Mrs. Butler added greatly to tho power of the meetings. At tho afternoon’s men’s meeting Mrs. Butler sang most beautifully “The Holy City and by re- quest will repeat it again on Tues day night. Dr. Phillips announced that these special meetings will continue one week more. His slogan is ft thousand Souls for Christ In Waycross, and he BEING ERECTED MR.
