SUCCESSFUL MEETING.
Rev. O. E. Bryan closed a successful meeting at Center church Sunday night.
Forty-five conversions, fifteen by experience and baptism, three by letter
several restored and church greatly revived. The church elected Bro.
Standford Sunday school superintendent, Bro. Tom Taylor assistant, Bro. Pack
Smith, church clerk. Prayer meeting every Sunday night, preaching third
Sunday in each month and the Saturday night before. The church elected a
discipline committee to look after the disorderly members.
Bro. Bryan is very earnest and an
enthusiastic young preacher. He preached some of the most impressive and
soul stirring sermons that I have heard in a long time. He preaches with
power and demonstration of the spirit.
A VISITOR.
