ON THE 28TH OK SEPTEMBER-
IS ONE OF THE BIG MEN IN
METHODISM.
September 28th Bishop W. F. Mc-
Murry of St. ouis, Mo., will visit Ida-
bel aril preach at the First Methodist
church. Bishop McMurry is one of the
fourteen bishops of the Southern
Methodist church and one of twelve
who are active. Their time is large-
ly taken up with conferences so that
seldom one ever visits' a local church
and preaches, but through the efforts
of Rev. Adams he has been secured
for that day, and it is certain that the
Methodists of our city will leave noth-
ing undone to make this a great event
in the life of the local church and that
all Idabel will be glad to welcome and
to hear him.
He will take a subscription to com-|
plete the new church which is going
forward steadily and which is apprec-
iated by our community as an asset
of great value to the entire city and
county. It is certain that Idabel will
put this enterpise over the top as it
has every other worthy enterprise
started in its midst. Idabel's citizens
well know that its churches and
schools are among * the attractions
that at present are influencing so
many splendid families to locate in
our city. So let's live up to the need
of the hour. Meantime we feel hon-
ored to have this distinguished church-
man make a visit to our city.
