We wish them a good time in our comunity. Our community is now in the grip of a series of meetings con ducted by Rev. D. W. White, of Burnsville; as has been previously stated Mr. White is an able speaker, and one who can m.ake plain the gospel and its truth*! These meetings have been well attended and the interest in them seems to be daily growing and much good is expected to result. So far several conversions are re corded also sevei’al reinstate ments. Judging from the efforts pna forth by Mr- White all should look [and live, however in any event if our people are not better upon the conclusion of these services- Our community will be much more wiser in the know ledge of Jesus and his teachings. Having just re-->rgar.iz;d. ai d as next Sunday has been set ipart as “Go to Sunday School Day” Zion too has decided to ob serve- same, therefore it is earnestly hoped by the officers and school that the attendance will be unusually large and that everyjjociy who can will attend.
