Central Christian
Revival
The revival which was being held
at the Central Christian church under
the leadership of Rev. R. D. Schultz
of McKinney, Texas, came to a suc-
cessful close Sunday night, with over
twenty additions to the church Many
new members received the ordinance
of*baptism, while others placed their
name as members on the church roll.
Rev. R D. Schultz is considered
by many to be one of the most pro-
found students of the Bible whom it
bad been their good fortune to hear.
He presents his statements in a con-
cise, clear and logical manner, win-
ning many souls to Christ and inter-
esting many others in the plan of
salvation.
Rev. Schultz on leaving Lexington
expressed his appreciation of the co-
operation extended him by the other
churches here, and said he wished to
express his gratitude to them for the
many courtesies received, as well as
his appreciation of the very pleasant
time he had passed with the members
of the Christian church.
