A Great Revival.
Rev. H. NJ Wharton who has been
assisting the pastor of the Louisburg
| Baptist church in revival services won
| all hearts OF the meeting the Louis
burg Times says:
| 1.-The series of sermons on Religion
in the Home. which has been the sub
| iect of the morning services this week,
have awakened the deepest interest
in the hearts of our people, and must
under the blessing of God bring forth
much fruit. Large numbers nave
| confessed Christ before men Among
| them many of our most prominent
| citizens, many who hither to like Gal
| lio cared for none of these things.
DR.. Wharton's style is at once impress
sive and versatile, full of pathos and
humor, thus precluding the possibil-
| ity of WEAKNESS even amongst the
Youngest of his hearers. The sermons
| of this earnest worker in the vineyard
of the Lork' have bowed the heart
| of our people even as the nedFl Vi
| one man."
