THE DURHAM PREACHER rs IN 1T
The Rev. Mr.. White Has Captured the
People of Winston, and Talks Much
Good Sense.

.
The revival services which are being
| conducted at the First Baptist church,
have every indication now of being as
, successful as the great Pearson meeting
here three years ago Great crowds at
tend every service Mr. White is doing
fine work. He is laboring zealously for
the salvation Of souls.
| He is great preacher.
The following is synopsis of his Sun
day night sermon:
Every available space in the way Of
seating capacity was taken up last night,
and even then many were turned away
from the church for want Of room MIR.
White preached another powerful ser
mon-in fact many are of the opinion
that it was the best he has yet delivered.
The subject of his discourse was taken
from Job xxxvi, Is: because there is
wrath, beware lest he take thee away
with his stroke; then great ransom car
not deliver thee
The speaker went on to say that he
delighted to preach the love and saving
power, of Christ. If we neglect that
love and power we are guilty. The
wrath Of God poureth out from the
throne. God is not only omnipotent but
he is omnipresent. He made all things,
and is the God who is able to save. Read
the 139th Psalm and 37th verse. God
is present in all places. You cannot
hide from him he sees all of your mid
night revelry. When I was a boy this
sentence, which / saw on blackboard
in Sunday school room, made deep
impression on my heart "God Seeth
Me-" My friends, whatever you can
hide from mother or wife you cannot
hide from Christ.
How would it be with you were you
to treat your employer as you do God =?
Well, we go on treating God; we go on
in sim Remember God does not hate a
sinner He did not have hell dug for q
single soul He made heaven for man,
but on account of mans peryersion he
had to prepare place for the devil and
his angels. God will only send you to
hell because you sent yourself there.
| God says Come let us reason together" ="
Don't you know that every man who
gets under the influence of liquor is cook
ting that brain? Men are wasting their
manhood Oh, the awful scourge over
land Take the statistics of the insane
asylums and you will see that about tw O.
thirds of the inmates are sent there on
account Of some sin.
! want to emphasize another thought
full sentence There is such a thing as
SHINING and speaking against the Holy
Ghost In Matthew xii: 31-32-we find
these words: "Therefore l say unto you
every sin and blasphemy shall be for
. given unto men but the blasphemy
agairst the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
AID Nhcsoever shall speak a word
against the Son of man, it shall be for.
given him; but Whosoever shall speak
against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be
forgiven him, neither in this world, nor
in that " hich is to come"
What broad expression. Have you
ever sat ip a meeting and laughed at
those who were trying to seek Christ
God pity the one who has. 1t is an IN
pardonabe sin.
Another thoughtful sentence | want to
impress upon your minds is that of re
iecting the Holy Spirit. No man can

says: "Grieve not the spirit" That I:
just what you are doing.
Tell me how it is with you. Do you
feel less like seeking religion now than
you did at the last meeting you attended,
Perhaps you were touched at the Pear
son meeting here last year, but drove
the Spirit from you. The Spirit is leaV
ing you if you feel less like seeking
e Christ now than you did then. Wish
could tell you how man feels when The
Spirit is leaving him. If you resist il
/ will leave you, that is all | can tell you
My friend, how can you treat the Spirit
thus when it is the third person in tht
Trinity. If you have any desire to be I
Christian cultivate it to night.
