HIVE FIDE START
Notwithstanding the drizzling rain
itid darkened clouds, the revival at
lie First Christian Church had an
tusplclous and enthusiastic beginning
Sunday.
Great anticipations had been awak-
ned and these were fully realized
in the two evangelists who were for
the tirst time introduced to McKln-
ney. If the splendid feeling, spirit-
ual tone and optimistic outlook of tho
tirst day can be taken as a criterion,
great blessings will be felt by the
citizenship of our town.
Dr. W. E. Harlow of Springfield,
Mo., "showed us" Sunday that the
complimentary reports of him and
his work are well-founded. He Is u
preacher of unusual ability and great
power and held the attention and In-
terest of the two lurge congregations.
The morning theme was, "Self-Ex-
amlnatlon," taken from 2 Cor. 13:6,
"Examine yourselves, whether ye be
In the faith." This was In the naturo
of a heart-to-heart talk and was
extremely searching nnd practical.
An Increased audience greeted Dr.
Harlow at night. His theme was
"Christian Warfare." It was a strong
presentation of the warfare one must
make against disease, poverty, Igno-
rap-jo nnd the power of sin and dark-
ness. Tin- preacher has tho art of
happy Illustration and luitnor will
now and then be manifest.
Evangelist A. A. Bailey is an ex-
pert. In his line. lie demonstrated
his ability as a. chorus leader; his
solo work Sunday was of unusual
merit: and was received with evident
appreciation. i'nder his leadership
the music will be made a most pleas-
ing feature. The Sunbeam chorus has
been organized. The adult chorus Is
giving him enthusiastic co-operation
and support. A song service each
night will give a spiritual prepara-
tion for the sermon.
Pastor King and the church are
delighted with Wie splendid start. The
theme tonight Is "Compromising
With tho Devil." Song service be-
gins ut 7:45.
IS PRESIDENT

with the large holdings near Max-

acreage In the New Allen oil flcld,
nenr which a well Is now being drill-

feel confident that this will prove an
additional asset to its holdings In the
near future. Latter part of last week
Mr. Burnltt received a telegram from
the manager of the Hercules Oil
Corporation stating that a gaser hart
Just been brought In a few miles
