Wadesboro, Feb. 27. One of the best meetings in the history of the Baptist church, here closed Sunday nUht, having continued for three weeks. The meeting was a success not only because there were forty-six additions to the church but because the Church was strengthened bo much spiritually and the various features 01 its work so much revived. The preaching wa done by Rev. Dr. W. L. Walker, of Atlanta. Ga., who Is in no sense an evangelist in the mod ern sense of that word. In the first place. Dr. Walker Is an able scholar out so deeply spiritual that he doe not overlook the essentials of real religion.- He t strong on his denom inational convictions but not a fa natic by any means. He believes in treating all people with the utmost fairness and labors for the real good of those who come to hear him. mere nominal additions to the church not appealing to his methods of work. Dr. Walker was abry-itsMi-iirt by Frof. Ira Ruby, of Chicago, who was m charge of the singing. Pro fessor Ruby received the co-operation of the various church choirs and was thus enabled to organise one of ths best choruses ever heard'ln this town. Thla wsa no small part of the meet ing and was largely responsible for the great congregation during- the entire three, weeks' services, ths weather being unusually rough much of the time. It may be said with truth that the entire town Is helped by the meeting and will again gladly welcome these men or either of them here whenever they shall consent to come.
