BROWNSVILLE NOTES.


Ky, was called to Brownsville on
Wednesday Of last week on account
of the serious illness of his niece,
Mrs. j. l.. Curtis. Rev. Leggett Wis
tied the Epworth League on Friday
evening at Farmers Chapel, made a
lovely talk which was enjoyed by his
many hearers. He spoke encourage
ingly to the young. On Sunday
morning at IL o'clock he preached at
Farmers Chapel. He used for his
text Matt. 311, He shall baptize
You with the Holy Ghost and with
fire." Among the many truths given
We're the following: % There was
a great need for the advent and work
of Jesus. OF such importance were
the coming and work of Christ that
God both talked about them and pre-
pared for them centuries. (2). That
earth has peace, rest, Christly noble
ness. Jesus must come, and the fact
that Jesus has come so much abb
serbs the attention of the church.
(3) The presence and the work of
the Holy Ghost among men are also
OF vital importance to their salvation.
(q He must come if the world will
be convinced of sin, of righteousness
and of judgment to come 60 We
need the baptism Of the Holy Ghost
If it was ever needed. Consider this
fact little. This baptism of fire is
needed. CO.. We need a baptism OF
his fire. This will raise the spirit
ual temperature of any church. CD
God intends his truth to be mighty
and prayer to be prevailing. To set
the world on fire. Last, this moral
world must be burnt up before the
new heavens and the new earth can
appear Then shall men burn with
true love for God, for themselves, for
their fellowmen, for Christ, for the
church. Members and friends of
