Revival At
Roxboro Baptist
Church Closes
l -
: Great Thrones Attend Each
Service. With More Than
. Twenty Conversions and
Additions to The
Church.
- The revival services which had
been in progress during the past
week came to a close with the even
ing service last night. Pastor Brooks,
who did the preaching at each ser
vice. was greeted by a large crowd.
He did not resort to any of the mod
ern evangelistic methods, but gave
them the old time Gospel, placing
especial emphasis upon repentance
and faith, and his efforts were re
warded with more than twenty con
versions. Many of them presenting
themselves for membership to the
church.
The song service was under the
leadership cf A. E. Lynch, of Camp
bell College, with Mrs. Wallace
Woods at the organ and Mrs. Joe
B. Currip and Fred Bishop alter
nating at the piano. The choir was
aided by a number from the other
chcirs of the town, and was a large
(factor in the services.
Altogether it was a delightful
series and the church people were
greatly blessed spiritually, with as
above stated, numbers making pub
lic profession of their faith. Rarely
have we seen the people more inter
ested. and many expressed their re
gret that the service could not con
tinue.

IN MEMOMAM j
In rememberance of my dear hus
band, Jim Briggs.
Just a few days ago the death
.angel visited our home and took
away my loving husband. Jim Briggs.
His stay on earth was sixty two years.
Oh, how short it seemed to me, but
the Lord giveth and the Lord tak
eth, blessed be the riame of thej
name of our Lord. I loved him, but j
God loved hifn best, if He had not;
I don’t feel like He have taken him |!
from me.
Jim became ill about 10 o’clock !
that night. I often think of how he
suffered bnt nothing could be done
to ease his pains. He suffered pati- \
ently. I know he is at rest. Truly a
splendid character has gone home !
He had a quiet personality and j
was a great lover of every one and 1
a dev-’cd loving father and hus- j
band. He \ .is loyal, generous, and 1
noble and an i_c-l rather to all of 1
