Beginning mart Sunday, four ?f the

opexciive effort to get our people
thinking about the things ofGod- We
believe wt can test ai^p^ thte:
by having services in eacli church at ,

We fee! the need of It revival?
the word means: "quickening, or re
newing," or as we would say today
in automobile language?"Recharg- i
ing." We need to renew our zeal for ,
the things of God; we need to pray:
"wilt thou not revive us again, that ,
thy people may rejoice in Thee." <
In the Scriptpe'w?i re- ,
cipe for a revival, whieb says "if my ]
people, which *?c billed?am^ l
shall humble themselves and pray and \
seek my face, and turn &p|Cvth?fr ,
and will heal their land." God has \
never broken any promise spoken and ,
He will keep His promises to us, If
we will keep ours to Him, ?
. The greatest nlsd of our town is
not "mote business," better prices for
tobacco, etc. These are good and ?
necessary, but our greatest need is ,
to XtffcW GOD. For it is written, j
"But seek ye first the kingdom of (
God, and His righteousness; and all (
these things shall be added unto you." (
In the past we have sought material
things, we found them, now in many '
instances they have vanished. If we ,
will seek the things of God they will ,
endure. ' j

we are passing, is God's call to place (

your support; for it is not we that
ask for it, but our Lord whom we ?
