At every turn one is greeted with a billboard reminding that the voice of the prophet is dailycalling upon the people for a turning to God. The music is not being conducted by a professional, but what is better congregational singing is being encouraged and the regular choir is rendering most excellent service in leading. Frequently this part of the services is greatly enriched by a solo from Mrs. McDowell. The meeting will continue through this week and all of next.

YOUNG WOMAN TELLS OF GREAT CHANGE Seamstress Describes Ills and Change Tanlac Made. PASSES WORD ALONG Says She Decided to Take Tanlac Because She Heard So Much About It. "Tanlac is a fine medicine for stomach trouble and it is a good general tonic too, and I am glad to recommend it as such to anyone," said Miss Lena Burns, of Greer, S. C., in a statement endorsing Tanlac. "I was troubled with nervousness and weak spells before I took Tanlac. I am a seamstress and my work is very tryipg and it brought me these troubles. Indigestion also troubled me a lot and my appetite had left me. I certainly was run down in health and feeling badly. "I finally decided to take a course of some medicine, and I had heard so much about Tanlac I decided to take it. The Tanlac helped those nervous spells right away and soon I had good nerves. My appetite came back and I gained a great deal in strength and weight. I got so I could sleep well, too." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold by Kingstree Drug Co., Kingstree; Farmer's Drug Co.
