One of the most successful meetings
in the history of Rock Hill church in
Dooly county came to close Friday
of last week. The preaching was con-
Quoted by Rev. B. F. Rainey of near
Ashburn Large congregations attend
ed every service and great interest
was shown from the beginning of the
meeting. Rev. Rainey preached the
old time religion and kept his congre-
cation interested in his sermon from
the time he took his text until he
closed, He continually impressed his
hearers that there was only one way
to be saved and that was through the
Jesus that died on Calvary
He did not indulge discussion on
worldly topics but preached a plain
gospel that could be understood. Sew
enteen united by experience and
eight by letter. One elderly lady that
had severed her connections with the
church thirty-fve years ago, asked to
be reinstated.
