The U. G. ", of Tracy City met in
their hall August and spent nearly
two hours in good old fashioned so
cial talk, Capt. A. D. Hargris gsvs
us splendid talk. J. c. Wall was
full of business and wanted to stir up
the comrades to attend the meetings.
A resolution was offered and adopted
by the camp expressing thanks to the
D. U. q. ", and other donors for
their aid and assistance in helping the
vets to attend the reunion at Chatta-
nooga. Fifty dollars was raised with
out hardly any effort, which sent ten
Of the camp to the reunion. The vet
Grams certainly appreciate their
daughters and friends. 1t is au ex-
preston and manifestation of love
that language fails to picture what
the heart feels. There are feelings
no language can express. and l tell
you, friends. we are proud of our
friends and thank God we are not
left friendless. The camp accepted
the invitation to attend the meeting at
Foster Falls August "a.
Our Baptist brothers are trying to
have revival but nothing doing.
Bro. Cambron is fine preacher. but
he has made mistake by suffering
himself to be quartered at a hotel.
That won't do. 1t is an insult to
christian hospitality. / wouldn't give
pinch of snuff for towns religion
that takes the man of God and sends
him to hotel and away from the peo-
Pile. No danger of such church hav-
ing revival. Hotel and boarding
house religion is very thin substance
to all appearances.
August oath the old Baptists hold
their association, beginning on Fri
day. Their preachers will not be
quartered in a hotel.
Mrs. T. b. Lankford's 8 funeral will
be preached at Orange school house
next Sunday.
The meeting closed ON Hobbs Hill
with nothing done.
Our choirs at Tracy City have be-
come unmanageble and hindrance
instead of blessing. The churches
had better cut them out of the revival
meetings from now on and have con-
gregational singing instead. Take the
old mans advice and CUT out choir
singing on revival occasions. Nothing
to such as has been demonstrated time
and again. Our Methodist church has
about as much use for its choir as q
hog has for side pocket. To have a
revival two or three good active chris
tiaps beat the choir all hollow. Sim
ners, be it said to their honor and
credit, are not to be fooled by lot of
pretty girls up in the choir. Neither
can you fool and beguile them into
fashionable confession and make many
of them believe that is religion. /
haven't heard sermon on repentance
in a long time. Some of our young
people may not know there is such a
thing as repentance. I've been going
to hear finely educated men preach
and not one of them has preached a
single sermon on repentance.
We have a lot of sickness up here.
Work is little slack.
My views on social recreations have
been complimented by quite number
of intelligent ladies and gentlemen.
All W no don't agree with me seem to
have gathered their ideas and notions
from the lower stratum of the under
world. Il is hard to get such people
to realize there are higher and bet
ter things for them. You can hardly
do it. Plenty of people in the church
who never think about their nasty,
filthy unclean habits, yet they'll jump
on social recreations with all their
feet and at the same time .wallow in
their filthiness. This Is so. don't
think they are hypocrits, but are just
out to the letter their youth
full training, that's all, and they
won't depart from it, either. The
church is full of uuclean people. SO
unclean real nice, refined lady does
MT care anything about having them
as guests in her home, and some
preachers are guilty Of being. filthy
and stink worse than an old pipe, and
don't know it. Well, this an age of
and it looks like gen.
eral cleaning mp would be good for the
whole push.
