A large and attentive congregation
was out at the church last night, and
there was one profession. I stayed in
the home of Brother Jas. Rollins and
was treated nicely, The children seem
to have fallen in love with Uncle Tom,
which l certainly appreciate, for ]
know there is no guile or deception in
their mouths. l told them l had 39
grandchildren, and they claim to bs
grandchildren, too. Well, shan't say
they are not.
All I have come in contact with
have treated me kindly. Mrs. Stew
art mas an excellent family, and / am
glad to have made their acquaintance
Cowan has lot Of high toned, clever
people, and number who l believe
really love the Lord. There may be
some selfish, narrow, exclusive church
members here If there are | have
never met them. I'm not we'll enough
acquainted to speak generally on the
hospitality of the town, but the homes
1 have visited are not lacking in kind
ness, as have discovered. I did not
have the pleasure of meeting Brother
Stewart, he being on visit to his
daughter in Atlanta, Ga
Several of Decherd's folks came up
Sunday to attend the services. There
is hardly community but what has a
lot of Holiness people, and the move
ment, like Socialism, is gathering
force as the days come. Well, both
have the grit and courage to grapple
with the monster evils Of the day, and
be paid in snubs aud slurs by the
heartless worshippers of Mammon.
The bitterest enemies of Holiness are
church members and they are reaping
what TREY are sowing, barren and
fruitless church, and wonder why no
sons and daughter are being born unto
them. The reason is very simple and
plain. 1t is because their church is
fighting and gougiDg christians around
them. Don't fight holiness. If you
do sinners will lose confidence in you
and soon will be saying no one can
have revival except the Holiness peo-
pie. They are already uttering such
language in some places.
Send bundle of News to Miss Clara
Rollins, Cowan, Tenn, and also a
special copy to my friend, Mrs. j. M.
Stewart, Of the same place. She is a
staunch prohibitionist. and outspoken
in regard to it. l hope she will like
the paper and become not only sub
scriber but contributor. We need all
the power and influence of the best in
1912. hope we will have it, not on
ly along prohibition lines but also
along the line of Christian Socialism.
These people are not enemies of Social
ism, but perfectly friendly to the doc
trine of the Golden Rule. | want to
say to all christian socialists to get
busy and preach brotherly love where
ever you go, and let the people know
that you stand, first, last and all the
time for God and his laws and COM
and that you believe they
are suited to man and were given for
his rule and government, and he must
obey them in preference to all man
made laws. Honor God by respecting
his laws 365 days In a year. None of
us are able to create better and wiser
laws for the government of the human
family. Live pure, clean and holy
life. Be perfect Let no man deceive
you on perfection. The whole Bible
is to living men an is for them and
to them, and we must be perfect as
well as holy. Let us have all, is my
idea.
Let us make the News a power for
good and medium of education on
all subjects affecting the welfare of
the human family. The News is not
organ, neither is it an organ
Tor the oppressors of the children of
men, SO think all men and women
who are for the general uplift of the
human family, spiritually and finan
tally, can send in their subscription
md get value received and whole lot
If encouragement as we'll.
Wen. declare | must close. Send
1apers as requested and oblige your
friend, Uncle Tom.
