SECOND BAPTIST REVIVAL
GROWING IN INTEREST DAILY
AND MUCH GOOD rs BEING
ACCOMPLISHED.

The revival meetings being held III
the Second Baptist church are growing
in interest and attendance.
The following is a synopsis of Mon
day evenings sermon by Rev. Mr..
Wheeler:
Text Ps. 142:4, sNo Man Cared of ny
Soul" Because of the lack of inter
est manifested in him the Psalmist
during the perplexities and trials OF
his life cried out of the anguish OF his
soul "No man cared for my soul', or
as the unoriginaI reference has it "No
Man Sought After my soul" Have not
| the lost souls about us the right to
feel as David did? Have we as chris
tians shown any concern whatsoever
about the lost condition Of men? Do
we care for the souls of the lost? Do
we seek to find the lost and bring them
to Jesus. At the judgment bar Of God
expect to hear those who are Danish
ed from the presence of God cry oat
".No man cared for my SOUL" Our
soul staggers within us as we observe
/ the Indifference and unconcernedness
of the christian church in the dying
souls of men.
Sinner here tonight, you may feel
that those who profess allegiance to
Christ have no interest in you, and
you may have just cause for such a
feeling. But listen, I know there are
some who are interested in your
fsouls.
God the Father is interested, for He
lis calling you to repentance. Ezk.
1871: 'I have no pleasure in the death
of the wicked, but that the wicked
turn from his wicked way and live.
Turn ye; turn ye, from your evil way,
for why will ye die?"
Jesus Christ the Son of God is con-
cerned about your souls. He is calling
you to turn from sin unto Himself.
Matt. 11:2S: s.Come unto Me all ye that
labor and are heavy laden and will
give you rest" His death on the
lcross is the greatest manifestation OF
His interest.
The Holy Spirit is interested. Rev.
: t22:17: .'The Spirit says come" He
called about three thousand at Pente-
: cost, and has been calling men ever
since. He calls you tonight. He Is
interested in your soul.
The redeemed church is interested
: The visible church as a whole may not
Ibe, but the church that has been pur-
chased by the blood of Christ-tht
Iconquering-triu church which
Twill one day sweep into glory is in
on you to come to Jesus. Rev. 22:17
"And the bride says come" and the
bride is the living church of God.
The lost in hell are interested il
:, ,fyour souls. The rich man, when h
- found that no comfort could be givel
. him asked that messenger be ser
- from heaven to warn his brethren t.
fee the wrath to come. If your fathe

al The redeemed in heaven are inter

presence of the angels of God over on
sinner that repenteth. If the redeem

turns to God and salvation, then sure
ly, they are interested in your sou

Will you not hear these voices cal

nj Son, the Spirit, the Bride, the redeem'
-, church, the lost in hell, and the r
deemed in heaven are interested
your souls. Will you come to Chri
and salvation?
