Revival At
Eldorendo
Sunday, June 21at, there opened
at the M E. church a revival,
which has been a spiritual feast
for the citizens of our little burp i
Rev. Harden, the pastor was
ably assisted by Rev McDaniel,
an evangelist cf the Thomasville
district, who has delivered some
splendid sermons
There has been several addi
tions to the church, and a spirit
of genuine, old lime religion has
been going on in the meeting from
the start.
Several of the Baptist church
members have attended the servi
ces regularly, and it would be hard
for a stranger to tell one denom
ination from I tie other.
If the evangelist has so forcibly
impressed bis congregations with
the unity plan, that they will stick
to this after he has left, then he
will have wrought a good work
for the community.
The meeting will probably close
tonight.

All the world is in tout on gettir g
i Happines®, success, and fame,
f And alr of folks are fretting
, Cause they do not get the sum- ;
AH their efforlsare like bubbles,
And txplode-and they blame fat®.
But the reason for their trout le i
Is- they don’t CO-OPERATE!
They are overlooking OTHERS
In their frantic search for pelf;
Seldom '.binningof Uieir brothers
All their thoughts intent on self;
They ar.i out to get a liviug--
Some may starve, but they mm'
ent-
Let tile “rich ones'’do the giviug
••While with . t iers TH EY “com

But, som*bow, they fail to “make
it,”-
One by one their plans explode;
'Vealtb is here-they try to take it
And shift ofi their pauper’s load;
In their efforts they’re unCeaeiop,
And they battle day uud night,
But their burdeim’re iucreasiug
| All their uhoriiihed dreams take
| FLIGHT!
It’s time that we were waking
To the fnct that must GIVR;
Those intent or.e always taking
Only see the “I” in LIVE;
If we'll wisely work with other?,
We’ll win ns sure as fate;
Are you ready? Fall in brothers!
