REVIVAL UNDER WAY

WOMEN EVANGELISTS ARE IN CHARGE OF MEETINGS AT COUTLAND AVE. CHURCH

Good interest is being shown in the revival which began Sunday at the Courtland Avenue Friends church with Miss Nettie Springer and Miss Inez Batchelor as the evangelists. Services will be held each night at 7:30 o'clock and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons at 2:30.

Sunday morning Miss Batchelor gave a special illustrated talk to the Sunday School. Miss Springer brought the message at the morning worship hour on "Lord, Teach Us to Pray." Miss Batchelor spoke in the evening, illustrating her sermon with a drawing. She will also give illustrated talks Tuesday and Thursday night.

Miss Springer spoke Monday night on the subject "Where Art Thou?" Everyone is invited to the meetings.

Memorial From Fairmount Quarterly Meeting

Nettie Clara Springer, the daughter of Daniel M. and Margaret Todd Springer, was born in Indianapolis in 1872. At the age of seventeen with her family she moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, where she received her musical education. She had a beautiful soprano voice and was fitted for a career on the concert stage, but being impressed by the Spirit of God

that she should devote all of her talent to the service of the Lord, she gave up those plans and went into the evangelistic field, conducting the music for many of the prominent evangelists. After a number of years she felt that God was calling her to preach, so for over thirty years she travelled over the county conducting Revival Meetings, having been recorded a minister by the Society of Friends. She continued this work until she retired from active service eight years ago, but always she was actively engaged in some form of Christian service. She passed away quietly on the morning of May 10th, 1946.
