US PEOPLE
By G. C. Barnhill
This liberty bell ringing is
going to be appreciated this year
more than usual. Aftllow can
have a thing and never know how
to appreciate it, until he begins
to wonder if he is going to te
able to hold on to it.
Liberty is a curious thing, you
can enjoy it and never know you
do not have it. Take us men, we
are about the biggest boasters of
having liberty, we think we are
so free, when the truth of it is
our wives and sweethearts have
already tied the bell cord so
high, we can’t even reach it to
ring the bell. We don’t know it,
and we are so happy in this free
' land.

REV. CL HIDE BRIDGES
The Beulah Baptist Church, of
which Rev. Wiley J. Williams is
pastor, will begin their reviva
Sunday, July 13th.
Rev. Claude Bridges, pastor of
cbe Springfield Baptist church,
of Jacksonville, Florida, who was
with the church last year, will
be the guest preacher this year.
Rev. Bridges made many
friends while here last year and
they are anxiously awaiting his
return. Mr. Bridges is a man of
considerable experience in
Evangelistic work as well as a
successful pastor of one of the
largest churches in Jacksonville.
He preaches the “Old Time
Gospel With Power.” He has no
favorites and condemns sin in all
its phases. One of the most inter
esting things about Reverend
Bridges is his ability to teach
the Bible. The day services will
be taken up with Prophecy and
the end of time. Questions will
be answered and all who come
will get a greater grasp upon
God’s plan for the Ages. The
services at night will be of the
Evangelistic nature and the
preacher has just one desire,
that is to see every lost person in
the community saved.
Rev. Bridges has just closed a
meeting in his church in Jack
sonville where he had 126 addi
tions to the church.
All who are interested in an
old time revival are invited to
come and enjoy the meeting and
pray for us that God’s perfect
will be done.
