Revival Sparks Big Turnout at Houck's Chapel
Rev Coble began a revival meeting at Houck's Chapel last Sunday. The powerful sermons of Mr Coble are having great effect upon the large congregations. James A Collins of Charlotteville VA, brother of W H Collins, will spend some time here for health improvement. An earlier anecdote notes a man who swallowed a live chicken after attempting to read and suck eggs, remarking humorously that he spoke too late.
