Interesting Revival Meet
ings. Much interest is being man
ifested in the series of meeings in
progress at the Baptist church this
week, by people of all denomina
tions and large congregations at
tend each service. The congrega
tion is fortunate in having here
Rev. Calvin S. Blackwell, D. D.,
of Norfolk, who is doing the
preaching. Dr. Blackwell is one
of the foremost pulpit orators of
the Southern Baptist Church. He
is a forceful speaker, and a man
of deep piety and consecration.
His sermon Sunday morning was
one of great power and thought
and deeply impressed all who heard
him. Dr. Blackwell's text was
taken from the third chapter of the
Book of Revelations.
With wonderful power Dr. Black
well traced the life of man from
the cradle to the grave, taking ihe
Bible as a parallel from Genesis to
Revelation. Reaching the contu
sion of Malachi he turned the
blank leaf separating the old from
the New Testament and said th it
blank represented 400 years of the
eclipse of faith, in all that time God
neither spoke to man nor man to
God.
Then with marvelousHeloquence
and power he told how this silenct
was broken when the angels came
down to sing a song of peace over
the cradle at Bethlehem.
Again at night he preached a ser
mon of great and wonderful power
to a large congregation. Services
are being held every night this week
and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The public cordially invited to at
tend. Christmas Trees. All the
white churches of the town gave j
Christmas trees to the Sunday i
School children and the children j
enjoyed the occasion very much.

ents were distributed. The chil
dren rendered a Christmas song
service which was much enjoyeu
The congregation of the Presby
terian church had their Christmns
three at the residence of Mayor
and Mrs. W. W. Wiggins Tuesday
night, Dec. 28th.
Wednesday, December 29th,
the children of Grace church Sun
day School were given a Christ
mas tree, from which fruits and
confections only were distributed,
and the exercises were much en
joyed. A choir composed of chil
dren and several older people ren
dered a song service and Rev. H.
H. Phelps, the rector of the parish,
made a helpful talk.
The Methodists of South Weldon
had their Christmas tree Wednes
day night, Dec. 29, at the chapel.
A number of presents were dis
tributed and the children of Sou;h

mas tree exercises were held

of the Sunday School were given
nice presents from the tree. There

Saved at Death's Door.
The door of death seemed ready to
open lor Murray . Ayers, of Transit
Bridge, N. Y., when his life was wonder
fully saved. "I was in a dreadful con
dition," he writes, "my skin was almost
yellow; eyessunken; tongue coated;em
aciated from losing 40 pounds, growing
weaker daily. Virulent liver trouble
pulling me down to death in spite of
doctors. Then that matchless medi
