The Union Revival, now in its third week, fills the Auditorium with packed crowds nightly and draws praise for sermons by Evangelists Ham and Singer Ramsay. Converts reach 282 by yesterday afternoon, with many turning away others, while neighboring Maple Falls plans a special train to join next Sunday services.

The literary address by Dr. L W Paine of the State University follows on May 27 Tuesday. Invitations and programs will be printed tomorrow and mailed this week.
A special train brought seven hundred to Llano from Marble Falls for the Ham-Ramsey revival at the Auditorium.

The town anticipates his successor as the church grows.

They will handle ads, job work, receipts, and accounts as usual, and welcome local news submissions during the absence.
