E. GORDON, Pastor. The Revival meetings progressed most successfully all last week and it is a great disappointment that it became necessary to bring such a victorious campaign to a close last Sunday night. Rev. Rose had given himself most valiantly to the task that was before him, and together with his wife and cooperation of the Christians of Neosho Falls they were wielding a revival of far reaching influence.

However, Sunday morning, Mrs. Rose was sick with symptoms of the flu and other similar instances seemed to present conditions that warranted the closing of the meetings. It was a great disappointment of course, but it cannot be regretted for one of the highest demands of Christianity is common sense and wisdom. A free-will offering was presented to Rev. and Mrs.

Rose, and the incidental expenses of the meeting were provided for. After Rev. Rose had preached a most powerful sermon the meeting closed. They left for their home in Muskogee, Oklahoma, on the 5:30 Katy in the afternoon. A large delegation was at the depot to give them a farewell reception.

It is sincerely hoped that sometime in the near future these most capable evangelists shall be able to return to Neosho Falls and carry forward the campaign they so successfully started. During this one week there occurred one of the greatest revivals that has been witnessed in Neosho Falls for many years. Not only was the singing and general atmosphere revived, but women, and boys, and girls took a definite stand for Jesus Christ, pledging their allegience to Him who is able to make all lives worth while. There were many others who were just at the point of surrendering and it isn't too late yet for those to take that noble stand. Next Sunday will be observed as ingathering day at the church when everyone so desiring shall have an opportunity to unite with the church.

This is important, for no one can hope to successfully live a Christian life outside of the church which is Christ's institution to help one to make a success of his Christian life. Opportunity shall be given at both the morning and evening service to unite with the church. On account of the general announcement being, "out that there would be services both morning and evening last Sunday, the pastor went ahead and conducted the evening service. It is well that this arrangement was made, for there were a number of people present from 10 to 15 miles distant. The singing was splendid in spite of the absence of Rev.

Rose, which clearly indicates that the singing spirit of the church has been mightily revived.

Bishop Store the purpose to continue with as much interest and enthusiasm as we have had during the revival, so everyone should get in line and find time to attend the Sunday services. Every man and woman in the community owes it to the church to give his support by his attendance. There's not a thinking man in the whole community who does not say that he wouldn't live in the community 24 hours without the church and school. Yet there are a good many men in Neosho Falls who would be in a churchless community if the church had only their support to depend on. Men this is not right! Get under the load and get into the work of the church and help to make the community what you want it to be.

The 4th Quarterly Conference will be held at the church Thursday evening, February 19, at 7:30. This is an important meeting and every member of the Quarterly Conference should be there. The pastor wishes to take this opportunity to thank all who gave their services in the chorus, orchestra or any other part of the revival campaign, all of which helped to make it the success it was. Also to most earnestly urge all who so willingly assisted in this campaign to continue to give your services and thus make our church a dynamic power for righteousness in the Neosho Falls Community!

(By Elizabeth Spencer) What will become of the "Middleman" who is charged with responsibility for the H. C. when he is tried at the court of public opinion and condemned? Why not parole him as assistant to the dentist who is overworked in the school inspection. More dentists and fewer "Middlemen" might add to the health of the children, while decreasing H. C.
