No elaborate ' equip- _ ment is being placed in the park, yet , there i senough to make it comfortable and yet not destroy the natural lu'auty of it with artificial contr!r- j ances.

"What Arc You in Your Home/' and 1 "When You Cross the Dead Line," Titles of Last Sermons . - ?? "T > Sunday night revival service) which has bet n inprogress here for the past three weeks under *he tent, will to u conclusion and thus will end what is declared by mrfTiy onc of the most succMsful and farreaching religious campaigns ever conducted inl Murphy. Evangelist Thurston 1* l'rice* nas brought an eloquencc at J logic to bear on his large audiences rarely <?ver heard in a pul- m pit in this section. Mr. f*rice has been called the "Sane Evangelist" and he has lived up to his reputa. Con here. He has carefully and thoughtfully conducted the meeting on the basis of reason with as little appeal to the emotions us possible, and the results in the number of conversions have been t remarkable. 1 Close to ljiy |Koplt. have accepted his invitati^^^to come over on the right side a^n start life over again and still greater results are expec- * : ted before the close^pf the meeting. There remain yet four services. This morning is an old people's ser! vice, but as at ail other special services, everybody is expected to attend. The front half of the tent will be reserved {for elderly people and the sermon will be primarily for their benefit, which means for the , benefit of all, as all shall be old | some day. At this service, large boquets of flowers will be given to | the oldest Christian present, the old1 est man present in point of years, the oldest woman present and to the mother of the largest family, and pot haps others. On Friday nightj the subject is "How to Stay Religious When the Meeting is Over," or "Rules of the Race." the Sunday morning hour subject Is "What are You in Your Own Home?" The closing sermon Sunday night will hinge around the sub jeci; crossing me ueacuine." "Never in all my experience,'* said Mr. Price yesterday, "has one of my meeting's had a more inauspicious beginning than the one here in Murphy. The tent arrived late and the first Sunday night service had to be held in the school auditorium, and the first few days of the first week the meeting was almost rained out." In the service yesterday, he* declared that in many ways the meeting here had been one of the most sue- k cessful he had held. p. At the conclusion of the meeting here this week, Mr. Price plans spend several weeks at home and at the Bible conferences at Lake Jdnaluska and then early in September he will start a meeting at Andrews. Mr. Bailey Meroney returned to his home in Chattanooga Friday morning.
