If Arthur Moores messages are any
thing, they are orthodox. Nothing, is
more evident in his preaching than his
devotion to the cross of Jesus Christ.
He might wall have as his motto: 81
am determined to know nothing among
yau save Jesus Christ, and Him cru
Gifted" His preaching is founded en-
tirely on the fact that the blood of
Jesus is able to save from all sin.
There are no modern theories of the
atonement in his utterances. Moore
knows and breaches the cross as the
power of God unto salvation.
With every seat taken on the frs;
floor, scores of chairs in the aisles,
and many in the gallery with some
standing, he had Wednesday evening
one of the great opportunities Of a
mans life. To say that he measured
up to the hour is but to tell the truth
for he brought one of the strongest
messages he has yet delivered 1t was
an eloquent plea for the religion Of
Jesus Christ. The text was Mark
5-31. The story of the diseased wo
man who touched Jesus garment, and
der, persuasive, beseeching and NOV
ed the hearts of the people.
The Music is Great.
The music of the meeting is GER
tainly doing its part to attract the
crowds. Charlie Tillman, with the
large choir, and with the help of the
congregation, is furnishing some of
the best music Americus has heard in
long time. He sang a solo Wednes-
day night-a song right in line with
the sermon-"The Wondrous Name OF
Jesus"
The Morning Service.
The largest day audience thus far
was on hand Wednesday morning and
heard Mr. Tillman preach. He demon
strated that he could not only sing but
preach as well. He brought one OF
the most helpful messages of the cam
paign. His text was Eye Are the Salt
of the Earth; Ye Are the Light of
the World"
A congregation of about 500 happy
and bright faced children and young
people were out for special service
in the afternoon which was addressed
by Mr.. Moore. The young people sang
a gospel song with fervor, clapped
ped hands and then listened as at
tentively as any congregation Of
grown-ups. Another special service
will be held for them on Friday after
noon.
In connection with the throngs who
are daily attending the MooreTillman
meetings, it is interesting to note
the following editorial from the Cor
dele Dispatch concerning the evan
gelists' work while in that city this
spring:
Some one said a good long time
ago that folks would go to the circus
and various shows but would not at
tend church services.
This charge will no longer stand,
If anyone will attend t..9 revival SER
vices now in progress at the Methodist
=, III they will certainly be convinc-
cd of the error of that saying. 1t is E
very large church, but barely manages
to seat the large crowds now going to-
hear Rev. Arthur Moore, the evangelis:
of the South Georgia conference. He
draws the crowds and he holds their
undivided attention. He is earnest
attractive and entertaining as a
sneaker, and has lots OF energy
and zeal. His illustrations are APP,
forceful and original and carry con
yiction. He might well be termed the
rapid fire gun of the South Georgia
conference. He brought a special
train of people from Montezuma to
hear him. This is the first instance
