W. H. Evans, who is a brother-in-law
of Rev. J. B. Sears, was with us in
the meeting. He is perhaps more like
Lorenzo Dow than any minister who
has lived since that noted evangelist
of early days. His preaching is learn-
ed, convincing, convicting and of the
most logical type. He is a deeply spir-
itual man, and his sermons have such
wit and pathos that all classes are
drawn to hear him, and are led to a
better life. His logic is the most con-
vincing and his argument is beyond an-
swering. Any minister wanting his
Church built up and truly strengthened
will find Bro. Evans the man who can
powerfully help him. He has 34 years’
experience, has baptized 3,143 infants
and 11,372 adults, and was for twenty-
one years a pastor in the Memphis Con-
ference. Exposure to all kinds of
weather here has kept me in bad
health for four months, but I thank
God, over and over, for all his bless-
ings and the good people, have all my
courage yet, and am going forward.—

Trial Package to Prove It Sent Free.
If you are one of the unfortunates
who can’t get away from your pimples,
and you have tried almost everything
under heaven to get rid of them, take
a few of Stuart’s Calcium Wafers
every day. Do that steadily for a few
days, and in less than a week look at
yourself in the mirror.
You will then say that Stuart’s Cal-
cium Wafers are a wonder in getting
rid of all eruptions.
These wonderful little workers con-
tain the most effective blood purifier
•ever discovered, calcium sulphide.
No matter what your trouble is,
whether pimples, blotches, blackheads,
rash, tetter, eczema, or scabby crusts,
you can solemnly depend upon Stuart’s
Calcium Wafers as never-failing.
Stuart’s Calcium Wafers have cured
boils in three days and the worst cases
of skin diseases in a week. Every par-
ticle of impurity is driven out of your
system completely, never to return,
and it is done without deranging your
system in the slightest.
Most treatments for the blood and
for skin eruptions are miserably slow
in their results, and besides, many of
them are poisonous. Stuart’s Calcium
Wafers contain no poison, or drug of
any kind; they are absolutely harm-
less, and yet do work which cannot fail
to surprise you.
Don’t go around with a humiliating,
disgusting mass of pimples and black-
heads on your face. A face covered
over with these disgusting things
makes people turn away from you, and
breeds failure in your work. Stop it.
Read what an Iowa man said when he
woke up one morning and found he
had a new face:
“By George, I never saw anything
like it. There I’ve been for three years
trying to get rid of pimples and black-
heads, and guess I used everything un-
der the sun. I used your Calcium
Wafers for just seven days. This
morning every blessed pimple is gone
and I can’t find a blackhead. I could
write you a volume of thanks. I am
so grateful to you.”
Just send us your name and address
in full, to-day, and we will send you a
trial package of Stuart’s Calcium Wa-
fers, free to test. After you have tried
the sample and been convinced that all
we say is true, you will go to your
nearest druggist and get a 50c box and
be cured of your facial trouble. They
are in tablet form, and no trouble
whatever to take. You go about your
work as usual, and there you are—
cured and happy.
Send us your name and address to-
day and we will at once send you by
mail a sample package free. Address

We have recently closed a gracious
revival at this place. The interest be-
gan with the first service and con-
tinued throughout the meeting. Bro.
Sherman, our presiding elder, came to
us Monday after the second Sunday
and remained over the third Sunday.
His preaching was sound and convinc-
ing. There was a general awaken-
ing throughout the town. Strong men
turned from their evil ways, gave
their hearts to Christ and their lives
to His service. There were five acces-
sions to our Church and doubtless
others will join. One of the members
received was a bright boy of possibly
eleven or twelve years. He was bap-
tized by Bro. Sherman in the home of
his parents Monday morning after the
meeting had closed. This service was
one of the best of the meeting. The
questions propounded by Bro. Sherman
