Tent revivals were customary during the first half of the 20th century in Sunny Cal,
and a few have sprung up since. It was like olden days to see the worshippers
congregating last evening under the large tent on the grounds of the old Calhoun High
School. The revival is being held by the Victory Baptist Church.
A week-long "Turning America Back to God" tent meeting opened last night with Dr.
John Powell, a former Sand Ridge native and graduate of the CHS Class of 1955. Dr.
Powell said it was rewarding for him to return to his native county and carry the
message. A large crowd attended the first meeting, which was opened with a prayer
by Sheriff Allen Parsons and a welcome by Pastor Mike Worf. The featured music was
by the Hickman Family.
The revival will continue nightly through Friday, starting at 7 p.m.
