It is bad enough fora young man to deliberately walk into a bar room and take a drink, but when a crowd of his so-called friends surround him with the deliberate intention of mak ing him drunk, to have a little fun, as they call it, they are committing an act that is absolutely , lower ana meaner than the devil would have them 40 do.

Never before in this section have the people been more thoroughly aroused about their spiritual condi tion than has been exhibited for the past few days at the revival services conducted by Rev. Mr. Crumpler. This man of God has preached the truth as taught in God’s word with great power and with most wonder effect Last Sunday night he did not preach, for just at the close of a testimony service, proceeding the sermon, the Holy Spirit came down with such power, that a great num ber come to the altar, without a word from the preacher, except an invitation. Monday evening Mr. Crumpler preached one of the most powerful and heart-searching sermons to which we ever listened, on the sub ject of "God’s Spirit striving with man.” How an unconverted person could listen to that sermon and not yield to the call is a mystery. At the close, and the invitation given, the old, middle aged and young flocked to the altar, and a great number fell on their knees in the congregation because there was not room in front. Wc could hear the remark, "I’ve never seen the like t • before.” During these meetings large numbers have be<en. converted and sanctified. Glory to God I Mr. Crumpler is peculiarly fitted for the work he is doing,being filled with the Holy Spirit, he has power with God, and what he says reaches the hearts of his hearers. May this useful man be spared long life, and be used of God in the salvation of the people. Polloksville Items. Seed cotton 2.20, lint 6.30 to 6.40 Mrs. J. H.
