The Browning Tent Meeting
That is a wonderful revival service at the big tent, conducted by Rev. Raymond Browning and his party. It has been in progress nearly four weeks—will be next Sunday. Mr. Browning has preached many good sermons and to large congregations all the time.
Last Sunday afternoon he preached to me. The tent accommodates about 2,500 and there were very few vacant seats. Men came 15 miles and more from all directions. It was a great service, and fully 100 came forward and signified their intention to lead a different life in the future.
It is understood the meeting will close next Sunday.
