A Very Suecessful Revival

Rev. V. O. Fritts, pastor of tbo First Baptist church of Rensselaer, closed his series of meetings at Milroy Baptist church Thursday night. During the meetings there were 44 additions to the church membership. Considering the sparseness of the population in that vicinity this is a remarkably successful result. Rev. Fritts administered baptism

to 29 persons Thursday, and had previously baptized 8 others. Several more will be baptized later on.
