The Wagner leader. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1912-1912, 1912-02-09
THE BROMLEY MEETINGS.

two days and the results have already
justified the money and time expend-
ed. There have been only twelve SER
vices in which an invitation has heel
g ven and over one hundred souls
have definitely sought tn e Lord.
Wagner is now somewhere near
ele. en- or twelve years old, but in the
past twelve days more souls have
been converted in this city than have
been won to Christ during these
twelve years. Will anyone. in the
face of this fact say that revivals are
back number-a worn out method
and do not pray? Alright, folks, just
60 right on with that sort of reasons
ing if you get any comfort out of il,
but remember that the B romley meet
ings of Wagner. s. D., of 1912. is .
tremendous argument against such
illogical reasoning.
100 souls turned to God in twelve
days! What glorious victory
And yet the tide is on and rising high
er with each meeting, and the Flip |.
pancy noticeable during the first few
services has disappeared. Serious
ness has settled down upon all classes.
Evangelist Bromley has big warm
heart that takes in all men in his
sympathies, and that fact is being felt
more and more, but he does not sacri-
flee truth to please and draw men. He
believes that the Gospel of Christ is
the power of God unto Salvation, and
breaches it in it's purity. The wrath
of God is preached as we'll as his love.
He'll is not whitfield down just to ease
mems conscience or to suit the so-call-
ed "new thought. Rev. Bromley is
a real preacher of Christ. He mas the
goods and is delivering them in force
fnl, blunt, manly way, and somehow
Wagner people are warming up to such
preahing and are manifesting real
relish for such preaching.
The truth-loving man in or out of
the church is enjoying the high stand
ard held up by the Evangelist. The
card playing, dancing, theater-going
church member receives no quarters
Such hypocritical preachers and
church msmbers are shown up and are
rightly branded. The church of Jesus
Christ is held up to be something more
than club house, or a gang Of card
players and society leaders.
Another feature of Mr.. Bromley's
work is his thoroughness. He is not
only thorough in his preaching, but
also in dealing with the men and wo-
men who come forward 20 seek Christ.
This is no hand-shaking card-signing
revival. In otner words, Mr.. Bromley
believes that men ought to repent and
confess their sins and be genuinely
saved.
He believes that the churches have
enough worldliness ir them now, an .
what we need is real definite Cristian
experience tat will separate man
from his sins and give him victory
over the world, flesh and the devil.
Such is the character of the work
being done ulder the Leader Bromley
and his workers, and it is a feast to
our souls to behold what God hath al
ready wrought in our midst.
Br t before ceasing we must mention
the fact that last Sunday was a great
day in this campaign. The wiseacres
of the town have been wagging their
heads and saying that this campaign
could not be financed bat last Sunday
that idea was exploded and these pro-
phets proven to be false. Through the
careful management of the financiers
by Rev. Bromley the balance of the
four hundred dollars headed to meet
the incidental expenses was easily
raised.
So the coast is clear and there is
nothing left to do but to 60 in for soul
saving. We said in our first article
that Wagner was capable of doing big
things, and last Sunday proved it.
Then there was the mems meeting
Sunday afternoon which was attended
by third more than were present at
the first mems meeting, and it was a
great lect"re and an enthusiastic
bunch of men. 1t was q great ser
vice. Now, friends, you are all heart
| lily invited to all the services for the
