Tidings From Chatsworth.
I closed a meeting of twelve days
at Chatsworth on Friday. Bro. J. F.
! Jackson, evangelist of the State Mis
sion Board, was with me and did the
preaching. He preached to the peo
ple with great power and acceptance.
From the beginning to the close great
interest was manifested. Bro. Tack
son preached, prayed and swayed the
great congregations as only he can.
There is only one Frank Jackson and
we feel that he touches more hearts
and more classes of people than any
man in Georgia. The unlettered and
lettered hear him gladly and with pro
fit.
It was a great meeting in some re
spects, greater than the meeting of
J 909 Results of the* meeting were
ffteen by baptism and ten by letter.
Brother Ed. Harvil, of Atlanta,
came and sang for us with power and
greatly helped in the meeting. The
additions to the church were people
who are capable of being a great
help to the church, materially as well
as spiritually.
