Rev. A. T. Founders closed his
meeting at Pleasant Hill Church last
night and left this morning for Whit
well where he began another meeting
Sunday. He and Bro. Frisbee were
accompanied to Whitwell by Bro. P.
A. Grantham, Henry Handy, Miss
Myrtle Dykes of Beersheba Springs,
Misses Ethel Hills and Beatrice Ny
ers of this city. The meeting was
success with IA conversions and sane
tifications. Last night thirty peni-
tents were at the altar. Bro. Pound
ers is a>great preacher, and suits the
people here from every indication. 1t
is thought more than thousand peo-
pie attended the service on Sunday
night. A fine dinner was spread on
the grounds Sunday, and all got plenty
to eat.
We are very sorry that the tongue of
criticism and scandal was loose and he
couldn't get away without falsehood
being told. 1t does look to me like
tattlers and talemongers would learn
little sense, and not tell tales on peo-
pie that nearly everybody knows is
lie. But there is not real, genuine
good man or woman in Tracy City but
has felt the sting of these vile wretch
es. In fact, nearly everybody has
been talked about more or less. So if
a man comes and stays a month anil
takes an active part against sin, and
gets away from this town and not be
criticised it would be wonder.
The majority of our people are not
guilty of SO conducting themselves, yet
we have some who can manufacture
falsehoods by the wholesale. Pound
ers was fought from start to finish,
and if he is as bad a man as reported
the devil and his agents are certainly
making mistake in fighting him as
they do i don't believe single thing
that has been told on him and l am
now convinced more than ever that he
has been and is misrepresented, for l
know and others know the last manu-
featured story is falsehood beyond
any doubt, and | unhesitatingly say
so, and should these tattlers try to in
jure him in his meeting at Whitwell
by any report concerning his conduct
here we can refute all such with relia-
BILE men and women who have had an
eye on him ever since he came among
us. l want justice done the man and
tattlers and false reporters squelched.
We all like him we'll enough to in
vite him back, and also we hope to
build large tabernacle soon for him
to preach in. That doesn't look like
be is bad man, or conducted himself
unbecoming christian. If we had
thought he was lewd, lustful fellow
I am sure we all would have never al
lowed three of as good and pure girls
as the world affords to have accompan-
led him to Whitwell. Neither would
as many good people want to attend
his meeting There is large crowd
getting ready to go on the 9th of this
month. Some of the best people are
going if not providentially hindered.
He is a man that doesn't tire you to
hear, and who doesn't preach you to
sleep. He works coolly and deliber-
ately without any undue excitement.
/ had rather hear him than any man
l ever heard and believe that is
about what others say. He is magnet
ic and powerful, and ofen gets elo-
quent in preaching, but he seems not
to know it.
