Will Conduct Revival Services
In The Ixmisburg Baptist
Chnrcli On March I4-.10
For several months the mem
bers of the Louisburg Baptist
Church have .been anticipating
their revival*ser vices on March
34-20, Very quietly, by various
methods, they haye been making
preparation for these services.
For four months tihe weekly bul
letin has carried announcements,
accompanied by verbal reminds
of them at the services of public
worship. During that period the
paBtoral ministry, also, has been
focused upon them. This week of
^?pottage-prayer meetings brings to
a culmination this process of or
ganized preparation.
And now the revival services
on March 14-20! Two services will
be held each day of that period
at 8:00 A. M. and 7:4f> P. M?
with the exception of Monday
morning and Saturday, when
there will be no services Each
evening at 7:15, with the excep
tion of Saturday, there will be a
prayer-retreat in the assembly
hall. God only knows how mueli
a ministry of intercession may
contribute to these revival ser
vices.
A schedule according to which
the various organizations may at
tend these services has been pre
pared and will be printed in the
church bulletin this week. This is
a part of our effort to make these
services deeply significant in the
life of the church and community.
One of the flrst questions which
?the average person asks when re
vival services are being discussed
is: "Who is going to do the
preaching?" That question reveals
the fact that personality ooiuples
the place of primacy in the inter
est of mankind; and as every
thoughtful Christian knows, the
success of a revival hinges upon
the answer to that supremely im
portant question. "Who is going
to do the preaching?" That is the
question bo which the public de
mands an answer.
For these revival services, the
answer to that question is this:
Or. Forest C. Feezor, who is a
graduate of Wake Forest College
and the Southern Baptist Theo
logical Seminary. Upon the com
pletion of his theological course,
he went to Liberty Mo., and as
sumed the Chair of Bible in Wil
liam Jewell College and the pas
torate of the First Baptist Church
of that town, where for a number
of years he served well in the
double capacity of teacher and
pastor.
in 1933 or 34 the Tabernacle
Baptist Church of Raleigh became
oastorless. In their search for an
undershepherd they turned to the
young teacher-pastor of Liberty
and extended him a unanimous
call, which he, after prayerful
consideration, accepted. The wis
dom of that union is seen in the,
fruits of a happy fellowship in
service.
Dr. Feezor's ministry at the
Tabernacle Baptist Church needs
no word of commendation be
cause it is too well known and ap
preciated by the citizens of the
Old North State. Under hie lead
ership the church has grown un
til today it has a membership of
twenty-six hundred. So far as the
writer of this article knows, his
ministry in Raleigh has the dis
tinction of attracting more people
than his cbufch can accommo
date, so that hundreds are now
being turned away from the mor
ning services of worship. He is
easily the Protestant minister of
Raleigh and besides the large
congregations which wait upon
his ministry in his own church,
he ministers each Sunday morn
. ing by radio to an invisible and
'unnumbered audience; among the
latter group are many of the citi
zens of Louisburg and Franklin
County; who will not miss the op
portunity of seing and hearing
Vim in the Louisburg Baptist
Church on March 14-20.
"Who is going to 4do the
preaching?" The answer to that
question is : Rev. Forest C. Feez
or, D. D., the beloved pastor of
Tabernacle Baptist Church, Ral
eigh, N. C., upon whose ministry
uncounted thousands of worship
pers, visible and Invisible, wait
each Sunday.
The members of the Louisburg
Baptist Church, desirous of shar
ing the blessings of Dr. Feezor's
ministry with the public, extend
a cordial invitation to attend
these services.

P. E. Winslow
Electrocuted
Slate College Student C'umex In
Contact With High Voltaic
Wire
Police continued Monday to
probe the electrocution Saturday
night of Phillip E Winslow. 21
State College engineering student i
who died after cotniug in contact
with 4,400 volts on" a railroad
safety signal line.
Detective Captain Bruce M.
Poole said. "We do not suspect
any foul play, but that we are
making u full investigation." e
The investigation was checked
momentarily Monday, in deference |
to the holding of Winslow's fun-:
.eral at his home at Greenville.
His fraternity brothers, members i
of Theta Kappa Nu fraternity at I
Staoe College, acted as p;ilt-bear- 1
ers.
Earlier Captain Poole question
ed. two State students, Clarence
Berry of Spartanburg, S. and
Paul Blalock of Fremont, in con- |
nection with the death. Captain j
Poole said the t>wo boys were with !
Winslow up uhtll about two hours
before his death.
Hold lip I'robe
Ed Pugh of Elizabeth City, who
was with Winslow at the time of
his death, was questioned Mon- ;
day, Captain Poole said, in an- !
nouueiug that he would not) ques
tion any members of the frater
nity until after the funeral:
Dean oj, Students E. L. Cloyd
and Col. J. W. Harrelson, Dean
of Administration at the College,
conferred leugthily Monday morn
ing. Harrelson said he would not'
appoint a faculty committee to in- I
vestigate the death until?Tuesday.
Both deans said the decision as ;
to whether members of Winslow's .
fraternity should be questdoned 1
would be left up to the faculty
committee.
Berry was at first reluctant to j
talk to Captain Poole, and a squad
car was senti to the fraternity to
pick him up. At headquarters,
Captain Poole said. Berry talked !
freely, and explained that bis
reluctance to talk earlier was due
to the fact that he had been j
hounded with questions for t?he
last two days, and that he had
not been sure that Pftole was not
"posing" as an officer, on the
telephone.
Death Reported
Winslow's death was first re
ported by the youth's companion,
Ed Pugh of Elizabeth City, to J.
W. Lancaster, telegrapher on duty
at a railroad safety signal station
just west of the South Bojrlan
Avenue bridge over the western
end of Raleigh's union station
railroad yards.
Young Winslow died soon after
receiving the charge from the
high voltage line. He fell about
15 feet to the grotind, following
his contact with the "hot" wires.
Investigation into bhe death
continued Monday, with Coroner
Ij. M. Waring, Raleigh police,
3tate College officials and Attor
ney General A. A F. Seawell tak
