To The Newark Journal:
The above body of Baptists met!

Kline, of Little Rock, J.L.Brown,
\V. P. Jackson, J. V. Turner, B.

Bro. Borah preached the introduc
tory sermon, his theme being!
“God’s Love to Man.” It was a
soul-lifting sermon.
A temperenee mass meeting was
held Sunday evening. Some good
speeches were delivered and the
following resolution was adopted,
everyone present rising: “Re

but this is the substance of the
resolution. Monday they arrang
ed to put a missionary in their

The David Bradley Double Cam
Steel Hey Press
is the favorite because it is the simplest press* ever made.
You can’t beat it. It has all the strong points, will put full
weight into a car, is easy and light to move, and it can’t go
wrong or get out of order because there is nothing about it
to get out of order. Just a plunger, a double cam and a
plunger draw. But they are well made. That’s the secret.
Come in and let’s talk this matter over. You can’t tell all
about the David Bradley Press just from the picture.
