The meeting at the Holiness Hall
closed Tuesday night with several
professions, and Sister Hall took the
6:39 train Wednesday morning for
Nashville, her earthly home. On
Tuesday night just before the services
closed a gentleman was talking, aud
he told them that their meeting was
going to close and Sister Hall would
go home the next morning. She re-
marked that she had no home here
but, praise the Lord she would have
home in Heaven. She is certainly a
good woman, and she trusts the Lord
for everything, just as a child would
trust their earthly parents. During
her stay here not one Of the ministers
in McMinnville ever came to hear her
or give her word of welcome, which
we all know was not right 1t is just
as "Uncle Tom said in his letter,
the churches are all so full of respect
ers of person., and l will say pride,
too, for it is fast crowding religion
out of the churcnes these days. l do
not say that this applies to every one
but there are great many people who
go to church, aud are afraid to kneel
during prayer for fear they might soil
their clothes. Some persons | believe
60 to church more to show their
clothes and to see how others are
dressed than to hear the sermon.
