A Holy Ghost revival scene drew a several hundred strong crowd on North Potomac Street in Hagerstown as the Holiness Band led by Rev. Martin Luther Yeakley of Winchester held services in the Mc Cardell block home of J G Stokes and wife. Police kept the hallway clear as shouts and a young Dunkard woman’s cries echoed through the block before the crowd dispersed after a half hour. The band, with members from Evangelical United Brethren and Dunkard denominations, meets at members’ homes several times a week and Yeakley has linked past evangelistic work to this revival effort.
