It was certainly a rich harvest of souls, many homes are blessed and saved, and we give God the praise and glory’. The pastor. Rev. D. A. J. Brown, was his own evangelist, aided by fine singing of the people, ami through these efforts people were saved. The Sunday school and church have been wonderfully blessed. The fourth quarterly conference roted for the return of Rev. Brown for another year. Rev. J. A. Beatty, district superintendent, prea '. ed Saturday night and Sunday morning to good crowds at Bobo and Sunday evening the church was filled when the revival began.
