DR. ZENO WALL BRINGING
GREAT MESSAGES TO THE
TABERNACLE AUDIENCES
County Wide Baptist Revival Meeting With
Splendid Success —Dr. L. R. Scarborough
Arrives Today to Take Charge
The Wlall-Scarborough revival
which is being held in Forest City
began Sunday evening. Dr. Zeno
Wall, who will have charge of the
services until today (Thursday)
brought a stirring message to the
congregation on the need of a reviv
al.
The singing Sunday evening was
in charge of Mr. Jordan, formerly
of Alexander, but now of George
town, Ky. During the song service
a quartet was rendered by Messrs.
J. J. Lattimore, Tom Lattimore, Mai
Spangler and Rush Hamrick, of Shel
\ by.
At the opening of the devotional
period Dr. W. A. Ayers called on the
various delegations t? arise in order
to determine what churches were
present. This showed large delega
tions present from Cliffside, Avon
dale, Henrietta, Caroleen, Ellenboro,
Alexander, Bostic,- jSpindale and
# Florence, with a large number of
Forest City Methodists and Presby
terians present. All churches in town j
suspended services Sunday evening i
f for thg meeting.
Dr. presented Dr. Zeno
Wall, pastor of the Shelby Baptist
church, who spoke on "Heavenly De
sires".
j
In the opening of his address he
stressed the need of a great reviv
al and urged all to work and pray
toward that end. His text was taken
from Mark 11: 24. "Therefore I say
unto you, what things soever you de
sire, when ye pray, believe that ye
receive them, and ye shall have
them." He said that a Heavenly de
sire was unselfish and unusual, and
that, when for years, people kept
praying for loved ones who were lost
that that constituted an unusual de
sire.
At the close of his talk he request
ed all those who wanted to see an
old time revival to come to the front
and shake hands with the pastors
standing there. The response was
large and gratifying. Dr. Ayers then
requested that all present pause Mon
day for a word of prayer when the
noon whistles blew.
At the opening of Monday eve
ning's service Mr. Pontier of Balti
more, sang a solo during the song
service. Rev. C. C. Matheny, modera
tor of the Sandy Run Association,
told how for the past three years he
had wanted all the churches of the
association to combine in a great
revival. Rev. Snyder, cf Bessemer
City, a Moody Bible Institute student,
led the offertory prayer. After the
offertory Mr. Jordan, who will have
charge of the music until Mr. Reyn-
Aolds arrives, sang a solo.
At the opening of Dr. Wall's serm
on he urged thos£ present to tell
the sick of the meetings and to carry
the benefits of the meetings to those
who are unable to attend. His subject
for the evening was 'Heavenly Re
grets.' Dr. Wall named three of the
chiefest regrets, in his opinion, which
would face all on entering Heiven.
They were regret for not asking for
more of the benefits of Heaven; the j
regret of not asking more of the peo
ple on earth in the way of dedica
tion and consecration; and the regret
l of not having done more on earth for
the advancement of the Kingdom of
Heaven.
A large number of hands went up
in response to a question asked by
Dr. Ayers as to how many had stop
ped for a word of prayer when the
whistles blew Monday. He urged them
to repeat this Tuesday at noon.
Day services were held Tuesday
and Wednesday.
The services Tuesday night began
in the open air tabernacle, but at the
close of the song service the congre
gation was moved into the church on
account of the threatening storm- A
large number of people were present
when the services opened, and if
many had not left when the congre
gation was transferred to the church

DIED FRIDAY
Funeral Service Held Saturday
Afternoon at Bethel Bap
tist Church
Ellenboro, July 24. —Mrs. John
Hill McDaniel, age 59, died at her
"home Friday morning of a lingering
illness. She had been sick for about
three years, of an incurable disease.
She is survived by two brothers and
one sister; John Bailey of Bostic;
Ben of the Trinity community. She
was born and reared near Ellenboro,
and joinecl the Baptist church in ear
ly life. She was a member of Bethel
church, Ellenboro. She had two

the latter having died some years
ago. Her only sister, Mrs. Broadus
Hamrick lives near Lattimore. The
funeral services were conducted by
her pastor, Rev. Z. D. Harrill, and
burial at Ellenboro Saturday evening.
The golden rule is a good one to
follow, but there are far too many
people who want to head the pro
cession.
The road hog often times gets
what is coming to him, but he never
gets butchered like the rest of the
hogs.
the auditorium would have been fill
led.
The services in the church began
by candle light, the electric power
having gone off. Mr. Jordan sang
a solo. The lights having come on
again, Dr. Wall read several verses
from the 126 th Psalm, selecting the
last verse as his text.
His subject for the evening was
'Working by Weeping.' main
thought of his sermon was the great
good done by weeping, and used as
an illustration an incident where the
tears of a mother brought a soldier
to accept Christ while he was in camp
in Louisiana during the World War.
Dr. Ayers then urged as ma..y as
can possibly do so to attend the morn
ing services, and stated that a del
egation of 150 or 200 people from
Shelby would attend the meeting
Wednesday night, showing the love
the members of Dr. Wall's church had
for him. He also spoke of the co-oper
ation of the various denominations in
Forest City and stated that the ush
ers of the Methodist church would
assist during the meeting.
Dr. L. R. Scarborough will arrive
today (Thursday) and will relieve
Dr. Zeno Wall. Dr. Scarborough will
be in charge of the services until
their conclusion August 5.
Prof. E. I. Reynolds will arrive to
day to take charge of the singing.
Acc6rding to a record kept by Rev.
C. C. Matheny representatives from
twenty-one churches and nineteen
ministers haye been present during
