BIG BAPTIST REVIVAL
GROWING IN INTEREST;
SOME STRONG SERMONS

come again to condemn US. A parent
has no right to bring children into
this world for their souls to be
damned in hell, and every one Of them
can be reached il you take advantage
of the opportunity. We have opportu-
mites every day to tell some one
about Jesus, but how many of us neg
lect them! ! once heard sermon on
making, taking and breaking opportu-
mites. 1t all depends on how much
you are willing to give up for the
lost souls of this community We
do put forth such little effort and
labor; we think more about the few
little dollars than we do about GOO s
work. 0, God, give us power to go
out and
Rescue the perishing, care for the
dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and
the grave;
Weep Ger the erring one, lift up the
fallen,

Last Nights Services.
At the evening services the church
was filled by large congregation and
the closest attention was given to
Mr.. Solomon's splendid sermon, the
subject of which was "The Second
Coming of Christ"
The sermon was an intensely inter
esting one and Mr.. Solomon was at
his best and throughout the discourse
interest was unfiagging and at the
close of the services there were four
additions to the church, making to-
tai of sixteen conversions since Mr..
Solomon began his meetings.
The attendance on these meetings
is growing daily and nightly and even
this. early the interest manifested is
something wonderful and very graft
flying both to Rev. Mcmillan, the pas
tor of Columbia Street Church, and
to Rev. Solomon.
The music is a most attractive feat
ure and grows better with every SER
vice for the choir is receiving great
benefits from this continued work to-
gether.
The services this afternoon will be
at the usual hour and Mr.. Solomon S
subject at this meeting will be 1.-THE
TRANSPORTATION" and it is expected
that one Of the largest afternoon con
gregations yet seen will hear the
gifted preacher on this theme.
A cordial invitation is extended to
! all to attend these services.

WHITE SAND VISITORS
"CARRIED THE BANNER"

Three young men from Whitesand
had quite an experience Tuesday night
when they came from their home to
Hattiesburg to see "The Clansman.' =

the world of slang as carrying the
banner"-tha is they had to sit up all
night because they could not get a
foom anywhere for love or money.
They tried all the hotels only to find
that all the rooms were full and when

Officer Rainier caught much want

For some time the negroes and

Some one wrote the chief a de,

The Path of the Earth.

The common idea as to the path of
the earth being fixed in space is taken
exception to by astronomers on the
ground that there are few, If any,
things in the domain of astronomy that
can really be called fixed in space, the
fact being that unceasing changes are
going on, though these changes are
generally so slow as to escape the notice
of a superficial observer, but are fortu-
nately periodic, so that they fall within
the possibility of computation. Thus,
the earth's path Is not fixed, since the
ecliptic changes Its position among the
stars, In consequence Of which the OBJ
liquity of the ecliptic undergoes very
slow change, so that while at present
II is a few seconds more than % de-
grees 81 minutes in about $4,000 years
astronomers calculate 1t will be re-
duced to % degrees 10 minutes, after
which 1t win begin to increase again,
a change so slow and within such har-
row limits that 1t can produce no sensi-
BILE alterations in the seasons, The fact
remains positive one that, even IL
the earth In Its orbltai and consequent
iy the sun In Its apparent motion in the
ecliptic were circular. neither the mo-
ton In declination nor In right ascen.
sion could be uniform.

The series OF meetings at the Co
lumbia Street Baptist church are at
tracing more attention with the pass
ing of every day and the attendance
grows with each service.
Rev. Solomon holds the interest his
eloquence arouses and the closest at
tention is paid to his sermons which
are filled with truthful points tipped
with the fire OF the Spirit.
The services yesterday afternoon
were well attended despite the wealth
er and the attention and interest in
them was intense as 1t is usually the
case. The scripture lesson at these
services was Mark 9th chapter and
the lesson text was from the fifteenth
chapter of Matthew, the subject Of
the sermon being The microscopy
Prayer of Mother
On this subject Mr.. Solomon spoke
as follows:
Nearly all the prayers in the Bible
are microscopy, some one pleading
for a loved one who is lost This pas
sage Of scripture occurs in the time of
Christ's life that is known as the
withdrawal" He was Withdrawing
from the people in order to train and
teach his disciples.
Another noticeable thing in our
own life is how little room there has
always been for Christ. When he was
born, 1t was in Manager because
there was not room in the inn; dur
| ing his life he had not where to lay his
head, and when he Ndied he had to be
buried in another mans tomb. Go
into home now and you will find
a room for entertaining everybody but
Christ. There is nothing in the Chris
tian home to distinguish 1t from the
home of an infidel. Even the pictures
we have in our homes are shame on
us. Let me tell you mothers, that
you ought to be ashamed OF the pic
lures that you hang and allow to be
hung in your homes Your boys have
hard enough time without having
in the home pictures that give rise to
evil thoughts.
When our children get sick, we
get the best physician that we can
find and use the best remedies that
can be prescribed to relieve them
