Way.
THE DURHAM PREACHER IS IN. IT

Good Sense.

People of Winston, ana Talks Much
Good Sense.
The Winston Sentinel says: Rev. Mr..
White is witnessing nightly the fruit Of
his labors at the First Baptist church.
Every sermon that he breaches seems to
grow better, and deep earnestness
pervades the entire congregation. Every
body who hears him once wants to hear
him again. His ornate language and
forcible delivery gets hold of the people.
He read his usual Bible lesson, a por-
ton Of the twenty-ninth chapter Of
Proverbs. Before commencing his SER
mon Mr. White announced that there
would be services again tonight, (Satur-
day. beginning at 7:20 o'clock; also that
he desired 10 hold three meetings on
Sunday--One at II a. m, another at 3 in
the afternoon and again at night. At
the o'clock service he asked the gentle
men especially to attend.
"He that being often reproved har-
deneth his neck, shall suddenly be de-
stroyed, and that without remedy"
These were the words Of the text, cho-
sen from Proverbs xxx, /. I suppose,
said the the speaker, that if all of us had
been reproved earlier it would have been
better for US. Many of US realize that
fact now that We have grown older We
too can appreciate and remember the
advice and ''stripes" given by our par
ents. Well, we have all been reproved
more than once. You have no excuse.
You have had the opportunity of hear
ing the word of God read and expounded;
you have had the opportunity of attend
ing the prayer meetings and heard too
the wise counsel Of your Sabbath school
teacher. Now if you don't think about
the great question for yourself it is your
fault. Th 1re are many who have had
reproofs from God-some by affliction
and others in their busine ess, and in many
ways. Notwithstanding this fact, we
come and appeal to you once more to-
night-to reprove you Of your sins, that
you may find Christ.
There are great many laws God made
but he has revealed those things unto
you, that unless ye ask We cannot be
saved. Do not charge God with the
author of your sins; you alone are to
blame for every one of them. Man is a
free moral agent and God has given him
free will to act for himself.
God sent Moses into Egypt to work
miracles in order that he might
prove power for good; so it is in Cos
pei work God has sent Christian peo-
pie to work for and with you, but he has
given you the will to act. So rejecting
these reproofs-turning away from them
causes a hardness of heart.
Statistics show that there are twice as
many people converted between the ages
of from 20 to 35 years as there are after.
ward ; and three times as many between
the years Of IS and 25 as there are be.
tween the years first named. This fact
alone ought to come like thunder clap
, to you Old man and old woman; it ought
to bestir you young men and ladies'; il
boys and girls here tonight. "Ye will
not come unto me that We might be saved
} says Jesus.
Noah was 120 years building the ark
People laughed and scoffed him while at
work upon it, but when it was finished
and God closed the doors, the heavens
turned black and those Dolsh people
soon saw their lost condition-but it was
too late-God had determined to destroy
those people. My friends you are in the
hands of God, and they are the>hands OF
mercy. Father and mother | want tC

and forsakes his sins he will be forever
lost. If you reject Jesus sudden des,

Mr.. White gave many other pointed
and practical illustrations on the line Of
his subject and he appealed most earnest
ly to every one in his hearing out o.
: Christ to seek higher and nobler life
At the close of bis discourse many &C
cepted his strong exhortation and wen
forward and gave the speaker their hand
thereby signifying that they meat tc
make an effort. At the after meeting
quite a number made a profession Of
faith.
