INTEREST IS GROWING IN WESLEY CHAPEL REVIVAL Although people are still busy threshing grain in this community, a good crowd was out last night. One of the pleasant features of the evening was the announcement by Air. Maxwell that he had collected J'i.'i during the day of Greencastle persons on thc Ben Hur lighting system which wag recently installed in thc church. At the announcement of the names of those who had given, the audience showed their appreciation by-
applauding.
Mr. Maxwell sang “The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground, Boys,” and a searching song “Hast Thou hor-
gotten God?”
The preacher's text of the evening was: “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” Believe on the Lord Jesus j Christ and thou shall be saved. The speaker pointed out that to be I saved one p*ust have faith in ^ hrlst | as a Saviour, but that faith meant,

G. I. Christie, assistant secretary of agriculture, with his offices in Washington, D.

Besides taking the people on pleasure trips, the aviators have promised to do some
stunts for the crowd.
Mr. Cannon has received stacks of Tetters inquiring as to whether certain organizations or parties mayplace commercial drink stands upon the grounds, so there is little doubt that the thirst of the crowd will be quenched. Other amusements “too
