From Daily Seniine', Nov. 16.
Great interest was again manifest
ed at last nights service for men, at
Centenary church, and again vast
audience was present, showing that
the deep concern of the community in
spiritual affairs is undiuinished.
After the preliminary service Mr..
Fife stated that he understood that
some people were kicking about their
names being called out for prayer.
He hadn't heard of any sinners kick
ing. Sam Jones never said truer
thing than if you curry horse with
sound back he'll lean up to it, but If
he's got sore back he'll go TO kick
ing. Some around here must have a
sore back. He had rather wake
man up than to let him go to hell
asleep. A man ought to be glad to
know that people are praying for him.
The DEVILS got mighty little follow
ing in this town right now. All the
powers Of hell and few chronic
kickers can't stop the work of grace
that is going on. Let every man who
honestly believes no amount of kick
ing Can stop this work say, Amen.
There was d general and hearty re-
Spouse.
The Evangelist said there's more
whiskey in this house tonight than
we've ever had before and we want
more praying.
Prof. Brown sang, effectively, 'tLove
Found Me-"
Mr.. Fife said he was feeling exceed
ingly bad, was suffering very much
from nervousness and asked the pray
ers Of the people.
Announcements Of Sunday services
were made and will be found else
where in this issue.
The Evangelist said he wanted to
speak very briefly from the 22d verse
of the 45th chapter of Isaiah: "LOOk
unto me, and be We saved, all the ends
Of the earth: for am God, and there
is none else"
You can't be saved by looking at
self, by looking at any church, by
looking at any sacrament. The Lord
Jesus Christ says, Look unto me-"
Many persons are looking inwardly.
The great God says, look away from
from liberality and put your eye on
the Star Of Bethlehem and He will
save your immortal soul.
There are members of the various
churches that are lost. Their hearts
are as black as hell They are trust
ing the church and the church alone.
He had nothing to say against the
sacraments. They are all right in
their place, but Gods word doesn't
say look to sacraments for salvation.
If you are drunkard, or a gam
bier, glory to God, if you look away
from self and look to God, you Can
leave here a redeemed soul, through
the blood of the Crucified One. "He
IS able to save unto the uttermost."
We ought to be in earnest about
this look. Oh, may we be baptized
with the spirit of earnestness. That's
what we need. Your souls are in
peril of eternal hell and God Almighty
wants you to be in earnest tonight.
He is willing to save, anxious to save.
Holy Spirit brood over US and break
the hearts Of these men.
The Evangelist gave two or three
apt illustrations and applied them
with great earnestness.
Look to Jesus and be saved on the
terms of the everlasting gospel.
During the service several written
requests for prayer were read, large
number manifested a personal desire
for salvation and about Is signified a
purpose to quit sin and take stand
for Christ.
Many thanksgiving testimonials
were presented and expressions of
comfort and happiness bcamed from
the faces OF many in the congregation.
A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.
Capt. r. B. Glenn stated that some
whiskey dealers had said they could
not give their hearts to God because
they would have TO quit their busi-
ness and they could not do this be-
cause they were dependent upon it for
a living. Capt. Glenn suggested that
something should be done to help such
men to get out of this business into
another and invited al men who were
willing to aid in the matter to meet
him at his office, at II o'clock, Satur-
day.
SATURDAY MORNINGS SERVICE.
1t is estimated that the attendance
upon this mornings service, at Cen
tenary church, was, If possible, the
largest yet seen in the body Of the
church. and the interest was very
deep, finding expression in several
instances by shouting. The Evange-
lists subject was tine Second Com
ing of the Lord Jesus Christ" There
were fifteen or twenty professions at
this service.
THAT NEW COURTHOUSE.
