MONDAY NIGHTS SERVICE
Another large crowd was in attend
ance upon the tent meeting Monday
night. Much interest was manifested
and Evangelist Lee preached with
power a strong and timely gospel SER
mon, his subject being why will ye
dies" He announced his text from
Heb. 9:27.
At the close of The sermon about 40
or so people asked for prayer. At the
| after-meeting about 25 made profess
sion. They also gave their names to
the pastors and told what church
they wished to join.
The service that night reminded one
CT the old-time camp-meetings.
Preachers and people were happy.
The meeting opened with half
hours song service. DR.. Greasy made
a talk about the collection just before
it was taken. He said somebody put
a little stone in one of the hats the
night before. The Evangelist said
this was not as bad as they did at
Martinsville While taking cOllec-
10 one of the hats.
Mr.. Lee thanked the papers for
their reports of the meeting. He said
THE SENTINEL was his old friend
Referring to the preachers he said he
did not blame them for liking Win
stou. adding that they all looked pref
ty fat and sleek ''If Bro Fry had
man." continued the Evangelist, who
advised the Grace pastor to eat more
potatoes and drink more sweet milk.
The Evangelist drew a touching
picture of the soul. He said men 90
to hell from choice and not from
necessity He believed there was a.
hell just as much so as there was
heaven. Said the people these days
wanted the preachers to talk only
about nice things and to leave out
everything touching the bad world
and what becomes of lost soul. Said
God does not give us any promise OF
second probation. He stated that
the Bible was being studied today
more than ever before. Every man
and woman out Of Christ have the
power and they are sealing their own
destiny. mot only can you choose
but you are choosing tonight-you are
already lost
God foreordained that all should be
saved. He atoned for the sins Of the
whole world He paid the debt
caused by the fall of man. Ii we
were made like machine and had to
run a certain way we might throw
the responsibility upon God, but as it
is the blame rests alone with each in
dividual. 1t is not that ye could not
come but that We would not.
Here the Evangelist gave his touch
ing description Of a lost soul and its
home. All hope, said he, is aban
doned for all who enter this place.
The bells are tOlling, tniling the
funeral knell of lost soul! Who can
fully describe it? Who can paint it
The remorse of lost soul! What
lamentations on such an occasion
The midnight winds moan and all
nature puts on her garment OF mourn
ing-but this would not suffice for a
lost soul !"
He admonished all out OF Christ to
say they will not die but by Gods
grace will live-to come to the foun-
tain filled with blood and be washed
whittier than snow. Many accepted
the invitation to make start for
better life and the after service was
perhaps one of the best ever witnessed
in Winston.
