Revival Closed.
The protracted meetings which
have been in progress for several
weeks under the auspices of the
Christian church, assisted by Rev.
D. D. Boyle, came to a close last
Monday evening. As a result of
the meeting twenty-six additional
members were received into the
church, some by letter and others
by confession of faith. The meet-
ings have been interesting and
beneficial, and Evangelist Boyle
proved himself to be a heroic
worker in the cause he so vigor-
ously espouses. Mr. Boyle pre-
sents his subjects in a very clear
light, nnd endeavors to show the
a b c of Christ's teachings, thus
adding to the effectiveness of his
work.
Arrangements have been made
by which services will be held nt
least, every alternate Sunday in
the future. Rev. Aiteu of Okla-
homa City will occupy the pulpit
on these occasions, and it is the
purpose of the church to keep up
a lively interest in the work so
earnestly urged and animated by
the presence of Rev. Boyle.

I. H. McComas, had quite an
experience last week and one
which he will not likely forget
He started with a horse and buggy
to Minco, near where he and his
family have located, and when he
reached the South Canadian river
he hired a man to take his rig
across while he and his son, Len,
walked over on the railroad bridge,
as Mr. McComas was crippled and
did not like to risk going over
himself. The current was swift
and the buggy was turned over
twice, twisting the wheel and los-
ing a lot of canned fruit flint was
in the buggy. The horse came
near drowning. It was lucky that
Mr. McComas did not venture to
ride, or perhaps the consequences
would have been more series.
(ft-
Monday morning I, II. Mc-
Comas and son Grover, left over-
land for Minco, and Mrs. Mc-
Comas and three daughters,
Nancy, Grace and Julia departed
for the same place on the early

their home on a farm recently ac-
quired .by Will McComas, and the
good wishes of the community go
with them.
