The Salvation Army in the next few
ciay^ is putting on its Annual Hon:"
Service Appeal in Sinton and San Pa-
tricio County through the county Ad-
visory Board, with Envoy E. R. Bal-
dry from Dallas headquarters, assist-
ing. A meeting of the Board will be
held this afternoon at 2 o'clock in the
directors’ room of the Bank of Com-
merce.
The work of the Salvation Army has
already come too close to the heart of
people to make it necessary to go in-
to the work in detail, but it may be
said that the work done in the Great
War in the huts and in the trenches
is being done today. In a way not so
spectacular but just as readily is the
loving hand of charity being held out
by this great, world wide organization
to human want, misfortunes, discour-
agement and war. Men and women
of all classes, all creeds, and of no par-
ticular creeds, have grown to appre-
ciate and confide in the Salvation Ar-
my.
The quota for San Patricio county
is $500 and twenty-five per cent of the
net amount raised is to be available
to the county Advisory Board for the
local poor relief.
When the committe from the Advis-
ory Board calls on you do your bit,
and let it be as big a bit as your heart
says it should be to help the work of
the Salvation Army in the county and
State.
Of the twelve Major Activities of
the Army in this division, will men-
tion the Women’s Home and Mater-
nity Hospital at San Antonio, of 41
cases sent there this year to Sept. 1st.
Thirty seven came from small towns
and villages, ages ranging from 11
years upward.—Contributed.

THE CHRISTIAN REVIVAL.
In full swing when Evangelist Nel-
son came Sunday, the meetings at the
Church ofChrist are deeply interesting
and draw large crowds. The evange-!
list has arrested the rapt attention ofj
every audience with his wonderful Bi-
ble lessons. His quick familiarity
with the Holy Scriptures holds the j
heart and ears of everyone. Those i
who love God’s word and the truth i
taught by the Christ will find the |
“Comfort of the Scriptures.”
The crowds Sunday filled the house,
the old fashioned basket dinner
brought memories of the days long
gone. The open air services on the
church campus are ideal, the music,
directed by Mr .Moody is soul-inspir-
ing .spirited and scriptural.
Moody, Holbrook, Lewis and Henly
have each evening brought a sweet
message in song that has been both
beautiful and scriptural.
Next Sunday evening Mr .Nelson
will talk on “the church.” Mr. Lewis
will sing “The Model Church” and
Moody, Holbrook, Lewis and Hen-
ly will sing the “Little Brown Church.”
All the hymns will tell of the church
and its Head, Jesus Christ.
This is a revival campaign of Bible
study .investigation, and “searching
the Scriptures” Jno. 5:39; 2 Timothy
3:16-17. Acts 17:11.
And it a season of soul winning, Jno.
1:42. Psalms 49:8.
The talks this week seek to find
Christ and the Church in the Scrip-
’ tures and to learn the plan of Salva-
tion.
Day services 10 a. m., evening 7:30
all this week and next week. You are
welcome.
Mr. Nelson will talk to the young
people in their class at the Ward
school building 6:30 p. m.
We want all the citizenship to meet
Mr. Nelson. A happy disposition, kind
and gracious and humble and rever-
ent. Then we want you to meet his
Christ whom he preaches.
