DR.. HIDDEN IN NEWBERRY.
breaches Three Strong Sermons in
Second Baptist Church-Ser-
vices in Great Demand.

Rev. {. ". Hidden, pastor of Bush
River and Mount Zion churches paid
his promised visit to Newberry on
Sunday, preaching three times at the
Second Baptist church, Rev. J. F,
McGill pastor. In the morning his
sermon topic was "Jesus Of Naza-
reth passes BY" being based upon the
healing Of the blind beggar Barti-
maeus out on the highway beyond
Jericho.
Following the sermon he made an
appeal for converts and eight persons
raised their hands for prayers.
In the afternoon his subject was
1.-THE Business Side Of the Temper
ance Question. and the speaker
spoke long and earnestly upon what
is evidently a favorite topic with him.
He explained to his hearers the at
titude the business world is taking
in the crowding Of the saloon and
drinking men to the wall, and made
the bold prediction that inten years
from today the drinking man will be
unable to obtain skilled employment,
and that in twenty years the drunk
ards of the country will be in class
by themselves, as clearly defined as
the criminal, the pauper and the IN
sane today. He paid high tribute
to the Southland for its mighty strid-
es in temperance legislation, told of
the deep sentiment that IS being
aroused everywhere against the sa-
loon. and paid his tribute to the rum
sellers and whiskey dealers in scath-
inc denunciation. He held that re-
spectability is not a factor in the sa-
loon business, that the liquor dealer
cannot conduct his business decently,
and maintained that the man who
sells liquor is not good fellow but
a. very bad fellow, the wickedest man
in the community, in fact, because he
not only ruins men, steals clothing
and food from helpless women and
children, but also robs God and heav-
en- of clean, white souls.
Following his appeal thirty persons
signed the pledge.
At night he held his farewell ser
vice in Newberry for the present,
preaching upon the topic "1t IS 1:
Be. not Afraid,' the story of Jesus
walking on the sea.
This sermon like all the talks
throughout the day, was replete in
word painting and illustrations; but
his picture of storm at sea, used to
precede the storm on the Gallean sea,
was particularly enjoyed.
Two persons requested prayers at
the close of the service. A profound
impression was made on the people
Of Newberry by this short visit OF
DR.. c.. W. Hidden. It is to be hoped
that he can come to us again IN the
near future.
DR.. Hidden left on the noon train
Monday for Union. where he is to
conduct revival services mp to and IN
cluding Friday night. On Saturday
he will speak on temperance at the
picnic at the Wadsworth school house
and on Sunday forenoon will preach
to his people at Bush River; subject,
"We have an Advocate. -
Some idea of the demand that IS
being created for DR.. Hidden's SER
vices may be CLEANED from the state
ment that he has but twelve days free
to September first. Plans are also
being arranged that. if successfully
carried out, will take him on an even
oelistic tour Of the world, starting IN
London in April next.
