MEETINGS
Pounding Mill Stirred Up
on SanctIfication.
Especial Correspondence.l

Pounding Mill, Va. May A.
We had protracted meeting at this
place, which began on Sunday night
the 4th, and closed on the following
Saturday at III o'clock. The preach
ing was done by Rev. G.. w. Doyle
OF the church of God. He preached
sanctitication, holiness, straight.
which without no man shall see the
Lord. Since his first preaching here
about the fist of February the
church consisted of 3 members. now
consists of about %. There are MANY
who are fighting Holiness, but we
are thankful that so many have
taken God at his word, and are now
walking in the light. The meeting
was greatly disturbed for several
meetings by preachers of other
churches asking so many questions.
which were in time all fully answer
ed by Gods word, had they sat still
after writing the question and not
interrupted the preacher by their
questions (some wore very simple
questions and some asked over and
over again) would have caused no
commotion whatever, as il was, there
was quite STIR and n good many
people, members, even of the Chris
tian church stayed away on account
OF IT, until the interruption was
stopped. On Saturday about 1920
nine persons were baptized, several
who had been baptized before. Two
other, were baptized about Monday
before. The prayer meeting at this
place conducted last Tuesday bv
Mrs. W. b. Steole) every Tuesday
at l;3Op p. M, grows in interest. The
Holy Spirit is always manifest in
the heart of His children. Miss
Lula Thomas was organist. Sister
Rachel Bailey, accompanied by her
sister, was to have preached here to-
night but the Lord lead her TO
another place. Also prayer meeting
here at III on every third Lords day.
The meeting on Sunday was held at
NJ. j. SturgIlls because the people
said they had TO decorate the church
for the wedding which was mention
ed IN your paper last week. Twas
surprise to the Saints when they
found that the church was not in

was plenty of time for both. But
every thing only caused the people
