The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1915-05-15

Last night witnessed one OF the
most Impressive meetings of the cam
paign so Tar at the tabernacle. The
revival spirit was more in evidence
than at any time previous and there
were several incidents that empha-
sized the spirit. First was the charac-
ter of the semon Seven DEVILS
was the subject and Evangelist Ham
ilton went into it with the apparent
idea that there were some people
around Clarksburg possessed with at
least one of the seven and some with
the whole bunch. He had named the
demons and likened them to common
SHORTCOMINGS of the up to date people
instead OF leaving them away back
in Judea loosed from Mary Magda-
iene. the original possessor. Then he
somewhat startled the audience by
;ntdYnating that there were some dew
lis OF jealousy, hatred, envy, strife
and unforgiveness among some OF the>,
church people of Clarksbnrg and that
they were responsible for the lack OF
action on the part of the non|Chris-
eians." Before = blessing can come
to old SIarksburg.- he said, some OF
YOU people will have to go to some
one else and make right some wrongs
that you have committed, hes that
you have told. take back some words
YOU have said. You are choking the
channels of Gods blessing" And he
spoke it with such vehemeuce ana
power that the audience fairly gaspec-
But the dart went home. Before the
sermon was over the sound OF weep
ing and tear dimmed eyes could be
seen and heard all over the congre-
cation.
Then the. climax came when the
in yiIation was given and a well known .
travelling man arose in his seat and
ID words that could scarcely be
spoken because OF the intensity or
feeling. he confessed his sinful lie,
although church member and sal1
he intended to go forward and make
it right with God, at the same time :
pleading with others to come and 90
with him HIS plea was not without
eject and number followed him to
the anxious seat. It was one OF the
most Impressive and affecting scenes
that has been witnessed since the
meetings began
Bridgeport was present IN goodly
number and they took an active part
in the evening service.
There were twenty-three decisions
during the day ooxether with thirty
seven who signed cards TO unite with
some church in the city, they holding
their membership at present at some
other place. These have never united
with a C1arksburg church and by this
action they have skSnfied their inten-
ton OF Identifying themselves with
some local body.
