Rev. S. L. Baugher Writes Of a Recent
Trip to Fulton County.


goth, left my home for Fulton
county to assist in revival meet
ings at Damascus Christian
church In Thompson township,
and Pleasant Grove Christian
church in Belfast. I was met at
Hancock by Rev. A. G.. B. Pow
ers, the popular pastor of the
above named churches, who cou-
veyed me to the hospitable home
of w. r Daniels, one of the faith
full and leading mem bers of Dam
ascus church, where we spent a
most pleasant afternoon. At z
O'Clock we went to the church,
where tried to preach and warn
sinners to accept Christ. All the
week, except on Thursday even
ing, the pastor preached a good
spiritual sermon. The dear Lord
blessed the hum BILE speaker, and
gave HIM a message that reached
the bearts of the unsaved, and
there were fifteen conversions,
and eight baptized.
The Damascus Chris tian
church has strong mem bership
of faithful men and women. who
are loyal to the principles of the
Christian church. There Is
bright and hopeful future for this
church. They have a good con.
secrated pastor, who gives much
of his time looking after their in
terests, and building up the
church. This church has good
singing. They sang with a spirit
that made the writer feel that
the dear Master lived in their
hearts. Their pastor Rev. Pow
ers is great singer, as well as
an able preacher. This church
compensated me well for my
weeks service with them. May
God bless them and keep them
faithful.
From Damascus, we went to
Pleasant Grove, on Sunday morn
ing. Nov. Goth, where we began a
weeks meeting. This church
has strong mem bership of good
loyal, faithful members. This
was one of the best meetings. the
writer ever saw IN this church.
The Holy Spirit was so wonder
fully manifested, that even while
the writer was preaching, men
and women wept The brethren
could be heard saying Amen
There were several shouts, and
sinners were moved by the Holy
Spirit. At the time the writer left
on Friday evening, Dec. 1st, there
had been eleven conversions. In
this meeting | saw one man take
up his cross, that l had prayed
for, for five years.
The singing at Pleasant Grove
is fine. There has been a great
improvement In the singing.
Brother Editor, you Just ought to
go down to Pleasant Grove and
hear them sing. Brother B. FL.
Truax is their chorister, and he
knows how to lead them. The
mem bers of this church love their
pastor, and appreciate his faith
full labOrs. / have known this
good people for seven years, but
to my mind never was Pleasant
G rove church in as good condi-
ton as now-both spiritually and
financially. May God bless them
and their faithful pastor, and still
lead them on higher and higher.
This church, also, compensated
the writer well for his weeks
service with them.
1t was my pleasure to preach
for the Baptist brethren In Need
more on Sunday, Nov. Goth, at 3
o'clock, to a large congregation of
attentive listeners. | felt right
at home, and the dear Lord gave
me the message and spirit to de-
liver 1t, and we felt that it was
good and pleasant for brethren to
dwell together in union. May
God bless these faithful people.
On Monday had the pleasure of
calling ON all my old neighbors in
Needmore. Many places / visit
ed would like to mention, but
space forblds me to do so. The
Doth at 2 o'clock, had the pleas.
ure of preaching to the good peo-
Pile of Antioch.
Mrs. Baugher wishes, through
me, to extend her thanks to Miss
Kate Smith, Mrs. Watson Pies
singer. Mrs. G. f. Smith, and
Mrs. Francie Hart. for presents
they sent her by the writer. May
God bless them. Dec. End, the
writer arrived home. found all
well, preached on Sunday, and re-
ceived one new member. MAY
God bless the editor and all the
