"Great Throngs Attend Each
Meeting Of County-Wide
Revival
SERMONS OF GREAT POWER
The .County Wide Revival has been
;in progress for ten days, and thrown
of people - hear the wonderful mes
sages which are being, brought by Dr.
O. R. Mangum. lt is? pecularlly notices
able that no "high power" efforts are
being used to get those present to
come up and giye their. _ hands to the
preacher He emphatically states in
his appeal to sinners that he docs
hot want any one to accept the_ invi
tations given unles they feel that
they want to live a better life and
consecrate themselves to the Master.
Dr. Mangum is a consecrated Chns
tian, and, he preaches the CJospel in
all its simplicity, making it so plaui
that any one eon understand, yet;
it has the afrpeal of a man thorough
ly qroupded in the Spirit, highly ed- *?
ucated. much travelled and who be
lieves every word he is preaching. So
far there has been no very great in
terest manifested on the part of the
.unsaved, but the crowds which greet
ovening are proof positive that th?
peopl? are thoroughly interested in
the: great work and it is believed by
.Che Christian peo]>ie that the many
prayers which- are being offered dstt7. ~
coupled with the mighty fl^fp^ats rT
_th.fc Minister: Kill bear much' fruit
and many will be brought, to set* their
-lost condition.
It has been most gratifying t i see.
the way i>?ople from the country havo
attended these meetings. It has. in
deed and in truth.. be?*n a county
wide meeting. We believe there ha*
been more people, from the country
present at every evening service than
there were from ? th<* town, They _
have taken an active part In the sons
service, helping to make the greatest
choir ever gathered together in Ho* -
boro and we rrust they will continue
to ieel that it is Jryly a county -vfid.^
.meetm?rirr?d- that the yo-Dd influence
will be i elt. througho.r t:v . Coin.ty,
The - services will continue through -
