itial service. After rnuaic b; the
choir, which had been !n training
Rince Friday uight by Prolessor
Pledger, Mr. McLendon made
some introductory reratrks and
then preached a very strong ser
mon on the universal need ot a
revival of true religion. In his
introduction Mr. Mcljndou said
that the dnvil had nothing to do
with his coming to town: that
he had been sent by God Almigh
ty to conduct a revival and that
there would be revival in spite
of the devil.
A service was held at four in
the afternoon and another at
8:30 in the evening. The after
noon was devoted to "prayer"
as a necessary means towaro
bringing a revival and a number
of obstacles were pointed out as
being in the way of our prayers
getting through to God and re
ceiving an answer.
No service was held Monday
afternoon as the big tent bad ar
rived and it was being put up.
It was hoped that it' would be
ready for the n'ght service Mon
day .but it was not and it had to
be held In the school building.

heard Mr. McLendoa preach to
men orly, and -the remainder of
the week has been nl-on to a set
piogratn.
The large number who pr;
sent themselves for prayer at

made upon them, while church
members are being strengthened
by renewing their vows at tho

The song service is a bright
active part in the ftinging.

without making staunch friends
of the pastors This week pastors
of the different denominations
have been attending from every
nook and corner of thit part ol
the state, and when asUed what
they M.oughtbf Mack as a preach
er, their reply is that he is a
wonder.
Fred R. Seibert, McLendon's
utility man and great soul win
ner, was with Billy Sunday for
ten years, and he was asked how
Mack compared with Sunday as
an evangelist and his reply was:
"You poop I e of the south dont
know what a wonderful man you
have in this evangelist I have
wo-ked with Rev. M. B. Wi 1
liams, French Oliver and Billy
Sunday and have heard all the
great evangelists and I say that
Mack is the superior of them all".
