Eighteenth Year - Number 42
Marlin, Texas, Wednesday, October 16, 1907
-----
Rally at Methodist Church.
-----

       The rally services at the Methodist church Sunday brought out large audiences and resulted in a great revival of interest.
       Rev. Hotchkiss, the ladies' societies of the church and the church workers generally, put forth strong efforts for and in behalf of this meeting and they were abundantly rewarded.
       Rev. Frank M. Boyles of Houston delivered two strong sermons, at 11 a.m. and evening services, which enthused and edified the audiences to a marked degree.
       In the afternoon at four o'clock Hon. Z. I. Harlan delivered an address to men and and young men on Civic Righteousness, the and state, which was one of the most forcible and clearest expositions ever delivered by a layman.  In his propositions he applied the cold logic and sound reasoning so indpensible (sic) in carrying conviction to the matter-of-fact man of today.  The address was given the closest attention and the audience was visibly moved.  At the conclusion Mr. Harlan was warmly congratulated.
