From the Anvil to the Pulpit.

The blacksmith preacher, J. T.
Sexton, was born in the state of
Georgia, and lived there until
twelve years of age, then went to
North Carolina and stayed there
three years; has been living in this
State twenty-five years, and about
fifteen years Of that time has been
spent in Blount County, around
Maryville; was married in 1875.
About four wears ago God called
him out of the works of Satan to
preach the gospel. He was a poor
man; unfortunately he had no edu-
cation. Having a wife and fur
children and no way of support ex-
cept by the use of his hammer in
the blacksmith shop. When he
found that God wanted him to
preach, he threw down his hammer
Many urged him to not try to
preach. but he went right on, say
ing, God was his helper"
Many said he would not preach

him. He has never made failure.
We trust wherever he may 60 to
preach that all denominations will
open their church doors and well
come him. We think that any
town would be perfectly safe in in
viting the blacksmith preacher
where they want a revival. He has
witnessed great deal of the power
of God in the conversion of many
souls. He has just gone home from
Jellico, Tenn. where he has been
conducting a two weeks revival
the results of which was eighty-sev-
en- conversions.
Rev. Sections home is at Morgan

to quit preaching about three
months and study; but cannot on
account of financial affairs. He
hasn't Il dollar in the world, only as
the people may see fit to give him.
He says he can't afford to beg, and
we hope the people of God will help
him, that he may be a greater pow

and four children to support. But
