Notwithstanding the rain, a large audience greeted Mrs. Olive, the Alabama Evangelist, at the Court House last night. After a song and prayer service the Evangelist was introduced by this writer. Her text was “Behold the Man.” She has a fine delivery, speaks with ease and is gifted in song and in prayer. She sent out a special invitation to all the ministers of the town to come. The service was a most interesting one, and the people gave the Evangelist a hearty welcome. Mr. Kilgo Hunt blew the Saxophone and Mrs. Keene presided at the piano.
Service every night this week at 7:30. On Thanksgiving there will be services at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
On next Sunay at the Court House the meetings will be held at 11 a.m., at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 at night.
The public is invited to all of these meetings. Bring your hymn book and join in the singing.
--D.N. Hunt
