his theme was “Six Essentials in Soul-

"The first essential is to get God's
conception of the soul's worth. What
shall a man give in exchange for his
soul. In God's judgment, the immor

Get that conception, and no small ob
stacle will stand in the way of soul
winning.
“The second essential is to conse
crate yourselves to soul-winning. Con
secrate means 'to set apart to sacred
use. fff twenty-five people in this
town give themselves for ten days to
the task we have in hand, fully conse
crated to this work, a revival will re

Holy Ghost. , Yield yourselves unto
Him; where He guides you, He will
go before you and get your man ready

predecessor. Dr. Wayland Hoyt walked
eight blocks across Brooklyn, one

the shots, claiming that he fired
only in self-defense, and while
Marsengale was advancing on
him in the dark.

Parties Well-Known.

four years of age, if? said to have gone
to Yancey's honie last Saturday even
ing and began cursing Yancey, who
sail! to have warned him to leave.
Later, Yancey claims, Marsengale ad
vanced upon him, threatening to kill
him, and it was then, he says, the
two shots were fired.
Yancey immediately went for a doc
tor and Dr. Harry Bradford responded.
When he reached the wounded man's
side he realised that only an operation
would save him, and this he recom
mended. Accompanied by his brother.
Obey Marsengale, Rob Amos and Kale
West. a negro, the wounded man start
ed to a hospital in Rome, dying before

ed with distinction overseas, and re
turned .home about a year after the
armistice. Since then, with his broth
er, he had been farming on the M. L.
Johnson place, near Flex-a-Tile'.
Yancey Prominently Connected.
Immediately after the shooting, Mr.
Yuncey notified Sheriff Gaddis of the
affair and said he was ready to come
to jail, and remain there until legally
freed. He contends that he shot only
in self-defense and only when he had
good reason to believe his owe life was
in danger. ,
Mr. Yancev Is married and has a wife
an<i two small children. He was em
ployed at the slate quarry and Is said
to have borne an excellent reputation.
