The meeting conducted by Dr. .tones
and Rev. Mr. Mosley are growing in
interest and power daily. '1 he citizens
of Macon who miss hearing Dr. Jones
.it 11 and 7:e(l are criminal to them
selves if they have not heard Dr. Jones
since he has been in town. Don't fail
to hear him tomorrow at 11 and 7:o0.
The citizens of Macon should appro
eiate what Dr. Jones is trying to do in
the way of building up its manhood and
wom.-.nnood by showing his willingness
to preach, not oidy in the house of God
but standing upon' the street proclaim
ing the riches of Christ and calling upon
men to repent.
May the voice of God speak in his
own language, "To him that knoweth
to do good anddoeth it, not to him it is
sin." He that hath ears to hear let
him hear."
Repent, confess, get right with God."
