Revival Services Draw Crowd in Cedar Falls
About fourteen hundred attended a revival meeting led by Oscar Lowry, with strong singing and speakers countering common objections. Forty-five prayer meetings are planned this week as the outlook remains positive for the revival. In Cedar Falls many new homes are planned this spring, including spaces for Frank M. Miller, J B Bladine, and B J Wilson, while building-material dealers report strong early demand. The Evangelical and Roman Catholic churches will cost between forty and sixty thousand dollars each, with the Catholic church site prep underway and the Evangelical congregation using the high school auditorium temporarily. The Presbyterian Woman's Missionary Society plans an officer election Thursday afternoon at the church parlor with Mrs. John F. Showers leading.
