From Daily Sentinel. Nov. 15
The great religious wave which has
been lowering over Winston Salem for
several weeks, appears to be deepen
ing and widening as the days go by.
Yesterday afternoon company OF
| Christian workers visited the bar
rooms and offered earnest prayers in
behalf of the keepers.
| Last night Evangelist Fife conduct
ed his fourth service for males. AS
usual, Centenary church was packed
and many were turned away for lack
| of room.
During the song service prayers
were offered by Rev. DIR. HI. A Brown,
Rev. Robert E. Caldwell and Bishop
RondUhaler.
/ Mr. Fife asked the Christians in the
! galleries to single out sinners in the
audience and pray that they might be
saved. He said he found il easier to
reach a man out of the church better
than one in the church, not Chris
tian.
Before the voluntary prayers were
offered, large number of men knelt,
thereby signifying that they desired
to be remembered in the SupplicatiOns
offered.
Mr.. Fife stated that some of the
slips dropped in the hat, to help de-
fray expenses, remained unpaid. 1T
is a mighty mean man that will do
that, and he is not worthy the name
of man." said the Evangelist. IF ]
can get hold Of the list l will read out
these names on Sunday morning. /
will do that if it is the last thing
/ do"
Mr.. Fife read lesson from Matthew
6:l9.34. He said there were some peo-
pie in these towns who were trying to
hold God with one hand and mammon
with the other. Gods word says take
no thought for tomorrow. Still men
here are giving God the lie. They
have got to look after interests =
banking, tobacco, law, mercantile
business, etc. The Scripture is di
rected to Christians. Ali you can get
in this life is llving-you can take
will find where men laid up money.
There are men in Winston selling
their souls for pauper dollars.
The Evangelist preached from this
text: But seek ye first the kingdom
of God and his Righteousness and all
these things shall be added unto you"
Matthew 6:33.
He said Christians should strive
daily to serve God. We dill came into
this world with nothing and will go
away the same way. We find no
where in the Bible to horde up money.
We should day by day seek God. But
you find men in this town who haven't
got time. He told of his visit to one
of the warehouses and said he saw
men gathered around the auctioneer.
He spotted number of them.
There's man out of Christ and
there's another. There were some
Christians there-mixed up with the
sinners-all seeking to make few
pauper dollars and putting off the
most important duty-seeking God
and his righteousness.
The Holy Spirit is operating upon
men, old people tell me, as never be-
fore in Winston-Salem. Mr.. Fife
plead earnestly with those out of
Christ to give their hearts to God.
He said there were men in Winston
Salem who would never see another
Christmas; that every town he visit
ed some one died, warning the people.
He quoted Hebrews 2:3, and said the
Spirit Of God warns you of danger.
But you say down with the Spirit
and continue dancing, gambling. ly-
ing, etc. When you drive the Spirit
away you are damned man.
Some men expect to be saved on
their death-bed. / don't believe in it.
Seen too many who promised God to
serve Him and when they get well
they are meaner than ever before.
May you run up the white flag, put
your eyes on God and be saved.
The Evangelist's closing appeal was
full Of earnestness. The discourse
was followed by most fervent prayer
by Rev. S. B. Turrentine.
1t was after ii O'Clock when the last
service closed. Some of the attend
ants say last nights meeting was the
best one yet held. About rs old,
middle aged and young men made d
profession.
THIS MORNINGS SERVICE.
Interest in the protracted service
continues to deepen and widen. An
other tremendous congregation at
tended this mornings meeting at
Centenary church. Evangelist Flies
subject was "Be," tending to sho wing
mainly what Christian should be.
This is said to have been the sweetest
service OF the entire series. There
were fifteen professions this morning.
