The story, cleaned up
A cleaned-up reading of the newspaper page: spelling and layout repaired, one story lifted off a crowded page. It follows the original closely but it is not a transcription. The original page is below; read it if a detail matters.
As a result of the good work accomplished by Wm. Moody Driver, the evangelist, who held a two weeks’ meeting at the Presbyterian church in White Bluffs some time ago, last Sunday will be looked upon as a high record day when about thirty new members were added to the church. Many of them were members of our Sunday School and the influence of these young people will stand for good in this community.
“last Sunday will be looked upon as a high record day when about thirty new members were added to the church.”
Small-town religious revivals were once central to the social fabric of Eastern Washington, functioning as both spiritual anchors and community events for a growing population. While the church buildings of old White Bluffs are gone, the role of local institutions in organizing community life remains a persistent theme.
