How any heart could fail to res
pond to the tender, touching appeal
that is made through song and SER
mon in the revival at the Central
Presbyterian church Is something
THAT is difficult to explain. Evange-
Hist Carter, who has charge OF the
song service, sings with that spirit
ual power which touches respon-
sive chord In almost every heart
And he can get more gospel singing
out of an audience than any song
Header who has been heard here In
a long time. The song service In
these series of meetings begins
promptly at T:30 and for about thir-
lty minutes the church is filled with
the melodies of revival songs.
The singing was exceedingly good
| Monday evening. Mr.. Carter called
/ for the boys and girls to come to
some of the front seats to form
juvenile choir. They we're given an
opportunity to try a number of the
songs themselves and the effort was
| splendid "The Church in the Wild
wood is one of the favorites and Is
sung every night. At the conclusion
of this song Monday night the lead
er and his choir took up THE Old
Time Religion" and when the au-
dience Joined the building yibrated |
with the volume of melody from this |
old song. After number of lines, |
followed eech time by the chorus,
had been sung, Mr. Carter said:
Now, | want you to sing Tt is
Good for Waxahachie,' and it is, too.
1t is the best thing Waxahachie
ever had. 1t is the best thing on this
earth. / understand you are build
ing interurbans into the city, and I 7,
hope to ride on them some day, but
they are insignificant as compared I
with the old time religion" ]
As the song proceeded Mr.. Car t
Ter said he wished all in the audi (
snce would shake hands with one G
another. 'If you love your neigh {
Dor" he said, turn around and /
shake hands with him Maybe some {
husband and wife will shake hands
with each other 1t was an impress i
live sight to see some four or five {
hundred people singing and shaking
hands. II
During the song service fervent
prayer was offered by Rev. ]. A.
Whitehurst
Pastor Hogan made his an
nouncements, and added that he
was glad to see SO many from the
other churches present.
Mr.. Carter sang as solo He
Lifted Me-
Evangelist Hendrick announced
that he would speak this evening on
the subject of Saved by the Blood,
and that Mr. Carter would sing the
Ninety and Nine"
The evangelist announced as his
text Galatians 6:14, "But God for
bid that ] should glory, save in the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by
whom the world is cruicifed unto
me, and | unto the world"
Evangelist Hendrick said the text |
was an old one, yet that was just the |
kind of message God wanted deliv- |
cred. He said he gloried in the cross
because it gives us vision OF
Christ 1t cost God something 10
save the world, and he did not leave
men here to perish. 1t cost great
deal, he said, TO save your soul and
mine He said the cross gives us |
wondrous estimate of Gods love fof
mankind and we glory in the cross
because it has the power to save US
from sin and set us free. The world s
hope he said, was conferred In the
cross because it gives security and
safety. There Is no safety in sin and
there is no way to escape sin except
through the cross of Christ. There
is only one way to get to heaven
and that is through Christ. He de-
/ clared that Jesus is attracting more
men on earth today than ever be-
fore. Christ and the gospel, he said,
would never fail
Fully one hundred and twenty
five men attended the downtown
services at the store of the Crow
/ Shoe company this morning. Rev.
Hendrick, the evangelist, made
stirring talk which appealed espec-
tally to men The service began
promptly at $50 and closed exact
lily at $50. At the close of the ser
vice Mr.. Carter sang "Pll Try to Be
Ready to Co." The service tomor
row morning will be held at the
drug store OF Harris Mcintosh, on
