year and moved to Nocona to live
with his uncle. Sam McCool, at Mr.
McCool’s request.
Mr. Whiteaker was born and
reared on a farm in Grayson county.
He is a man of family, having a
.wife and three children. Mr.
Whiteaker worked for the (3ty of
Nocona four years, serving three

proving' Ids alality to properly

Mr. Whiteaker lielieves in stop-

used undue force in handling any

unless absolutely necessary. He is

as a man and a peaci4 officer. He
is not obligated to any political

Dr. Melten is a native of Clay*
county and grew up at Bellevm*.
where his father still resides.' He
hopes to.have many people from
surrounding communities who knew
him as a young man', attend the
meetings. -----------------------
Dr. Melton is a menrtx4r of th**
.State Executive Board of th*4 Bap-
tist General Convention of Texas'.
He holds important fkqj’es ’oil com
mittVes and boards of the'Southern
Baptist Convention, and has prob-
preached to more university
^Hhdents than any other preacher
Texas ns his church is located
just off the campus of Baylor Uni-
versity at Wa**o. EviT^one is Invit-
ed to attend this revival.
The revival meeUng being held at
the First Presbyterian” Church is
meeting with approval and enthus*»
iasm on the part of those who at-
tend. Members of many different
churches are attending thqse meet-
ings as Well as many people who do
not belong to any church. These
mFnibeFsrbrbther chiTnlYcvi and non-
members have been loud in their
praise of the way in which tjie
Bible is preached in simplicity ami
in power.
DerM. G, Gutzke, teacher of
Bible in Austin College, is doing
iln* preaching -at both services
daily. Those who knew Dr. Gutzke
prior to lhe imx4ting an-i Gios*4 who
have come to know him during tin*
meeting are clearly conscious of the
fact that the messenger during
these meetings is om* who knows
God and who walks with Him. One
of the secrets of his power as a
preacher lies in this fa*;t of a most
vital personal relationship with
God. Because of his own victorious
living with Christ, he is able to
shtnv how others may come to have
similar exix4riences. more than this,.’
he shows that this is the normal
Christian experience for those who
commit themselves wholly/to . God.
Th*4 preacher’s knowledge of »h<*
Bible is remarkable but his‘ under
standing 'of it is probably even
more remarkable. His teaching
and preaching makes the Bibb4 ap
peal* so clear and. simple that his
hearers wonder my they did not
long ago cat^h these meanings of
certain jnirtions of the Bible.
The morning services have to do
with, the Christian and the" Holy
Spirit., Contrary to what many imm‘-
ph*» lx4lieve or have ex|»erieneex, th**
