With every section of the county represented in an audience that crowded every available foot of its magnificent court house, Johnston county gathered Sunday afternoon in solemn thanksgiving service for the bounteous measure of material prosperity that has come this year with record-breaking crop yields, giving promise of a harvest that will eclipse any that have been garnered in past years.
Nor were material things uppermost when the throng had assembled. Johnston county is now in the midst of a remarkable revival of religion that had its beginnings three months ago in the Ham-Ramsey meeting. It has spread to the remotest parts of the county, and even now seven revival services are in progress in churches in various parts of the county. The service was made into a thanksgiving for both material and spiritual things.
Congressman E.W. Pou was one of the speakers for the evening.
