MAJOR WHITTLE'S LAST lIEETING.

Christ knocks on the Door Of the Sinners
Heart, and Would Have Admlttance.
An overcrowded house greeted Major Whittle
last evening, among whom were many of the
large number who had accepted Christ under
the Majors preaching. Before the service,
Major Whittle asked all who had accepted
Christ, and all who desired to be Christians,
TO meet him and Mr.. McGranahan at the
lecture room Of the B 'ptist church, at 7:30 this
evening, this meeting to be for this class only.
The evangelists purpose this week to preach
in the outlying churches, and to hold morning
prayer meetings, bible meetings on Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday, and the young peo,
Piles meeting at the usual place.
This closes up series of very interesting,
and it Is hoped profitable meetings of eight
weeks.
Tho question now Will occur, to what good
has all this time been expended? In other
words, what good has been accomplished that
the pastors of the different churches could not
do? How many have been converted? How has
tho money been raised, and how. much? All
these questions doubtless will be asked, and
not answered, for the reason that it is almost
impossible to do so.
Among those interested We think there is but
ono volce-the meetings have been emincntly
successful, so far as the number who have &C
cepted Christ is concerned. No one but God
can tell, as no record has been kept of the
names. AS to the influence, the secondary in
huence, of the meetings it has been great and
powerful, and we think will last for years.
Financially speaking, the expenses have all
been paid, and no public collection has been
taken. nor has money been spoken of in public,
saving the collection for the rent of the gospel
garden.
The remarks for the evening were from Gal
atians 1920, Behold, I stand at tho door and
Knock Major Whittle said: 1 wish to saw a
FEW earnest and solemn words to the uncon-
verted OF st. Paul before leave. Evil has put
special honor upon His son. it is He that stands
at the door and knocks. He is some time to
appear upon earth the king of the world,
but now it is friends hand that knocks at the
door OF your heart. Forget, my friends, the
speaker, the pastors and the church; but / beg
OF you not to forget Him who would come in.
There He stands, patient, kindly-waiting on
you; but the time will come when He
will sorrowfully turn from you. That tine
has not come yet. You and are selfish. God
If kind and good and he knocks at the door of
your lheart oh, how often and in how many
dl1terent ways Remember the laws are on
your side. God has cleared the wav to the
door of your heart. The bolt is not on His
side, but on your side, Christ, when he was
on earth, never went where He was not invited.
and never stayed away when he was invited,
Many would force God into their heart bv some
act, but IN vain ust open the heart and the
Lord will come in. Don't humiliate God in this
way. Don't keep his son on the outside but
open the door and let Him in. If you don't
open the door it is because y6d won't. 1t is not
that God does not love you, for he does. and
on so much Now my friends the last message
L have to leave with you is, opent he door of
your heart and lot the Savior in.
