but from other states as well. .
Tha term which preceded the "one

Better Interest
In Revival Sliowh
Thursday Evening
The Interest showed considerable
increase on hursday evening at the
revival service conducted bf Evange-
list E. W. "Wells and a very hopeful
feeling was manifest for the remain-
ing services of the campaign and
also for the future of the work in this
city.
Service tonight at the usual hour
7:30 and each remaining evening this
week. Sunday being the closing day
of the meeting there will be three ser-
vices on that day. The usual service
at eleven o'clock an afternoon ser-
vice at three o'clock climaxing with
the last service on Sunday evening
at seven-thirty.
Friends interested in the work be
ing done by the church of the Holy;
Nazarene together with its future in
Brownwood are urged to be present
at every remaining service.
Evangelist "Wells made this state-
ment today;
"It is felt by our peoplo and con-
ceded hy most of the other denomina-
tions that a church which stands for
and emphases the doctrines as taught
by the church of the Nazarene is
needed in every community. "We un-
dertake to do the work which other
religious bodies do not always em-
phasize and specialize on the funda
mental doctrines us taught in the

attitude as a church is never that of
opposition to other bodies but rather
seek to matntaia an atitude of friend-
liness and co-operation toward all
j those engaged in a like work with
us for the religious betterment of the
community."
