Around 3,000 people joined in a prayer for rain Sunday night at the big Wall revival tent and just at noon Monday Shelby was visited by a heavy rainstorm that is estimated to have been worth several hundred thousand dollars to the farmers of Cleveland county and business men in general, says Shelby Star. During the service, which was the closing one of the meeting, there was a special prayer for rain and all those in the large congregation be lieving in the power of prayer were asked to join. At noon Monday as Dr. Wall was giving the data on the meeting the rainstorm broke over Shelby carrying moisture and re freshments to the parched fields and thirsty earth over the section. Other churches during- the day featured a prayer for rain, and ministers of these churches and those who uni ted at the tent revival, today felt highly grateful that the prayer of several thousands joined together for religious worship had been heard. The revival just closed under the direction of Dr. Zeno Wall and Rev. Rush Padgett was considered one of the most helpful and having a wider scope than any ever held in the county. Dr. Wall stated Monday morning that it was the greatest re vival he personally had ever assist ed in. The congregation Sunday night numbered around 3,000 people and was the largest of the series of meetings. Indications during the evening and Monday were to the ef fect that the revival would be made an annual affair. There were between 100 and 150 conversions during the meeting, and over 300 people reconsecrated them selves to Christ. The estimate was 1,000 or more, people had asked for prayer during the series of services, and an estimated crowd of 36,000 people attended the services in all. Dr. Wall with his son, Zeno, Jr., left Shelby Monday for Morehead City, where he will rest for a week following his strenuous period of preaching regularly to the large crowds assembled at the tent to hear his sermons.

June 14. —The cold weather of this spring did not dam age the apple crop to the extent the peach crop was damaged.
