Mizell, insisted that the marriage- be deferred until her ar rival by car fioiu Robersonville, but nothing was doing a'.oug that line, and with license an 1 Rev. G. J. Dowell at the home of Mrs. W. A. Brown, the marrige proceeded before Mrs. Miztll leached here. Mr. H«Ttii*oH WHS informed but took the situation quietly and made no tlTort to stop the marriage.

How You Can Help As hiietofore announced, it is the purpose of the pastor of the Methodist Church to begin a series of evangelistic services ou the sec ond Sunday in May to be continued as long as the interest may demand Our Church needs a revival. All who really know and love the Christ and Ilis cause feel and know this to bu a fact. Truly eve ry church needs a quickening of her npiritual life. But a revival comes through hu man co-operation with Divine pow er and never otherwise. This be ing true every genuine Cliristain should be deeply concerned to know how to aid in tbe great and glorious work. As pastor of the ChurcJj, I wish to mention a few simple ways to help in needed revival. 1. The life of the co-laborer with Christ must be clean. 2. By earnest prayer to God for His guidance and blessing. 3. By attending and aiding in all the services of the series. 4- l>v thinkiug and talking of the meetings between the service*. 5. \ By giving loyal support to the poster as the divinely ordained leader. How tlien can you help in a re-; Answer, by getting light| with God votfrself; by earnest prav- ■ er for your own divine gift da nee iu ! doing personal work and for Hh 1 blessings upon vour effort.s; by at tending all the services and aiding in them; by thinking and talking about the meetings between the services and by working in har mony with the pastor as ierder in the services.
