SUNDAY GOLFHIT
BY HARRINGTON
Evangelist Declares 1t Delightful
Sport, But Bad Practice For
Sabbath
(Contributed)

Last evening proved a fruitful
time in the revival MEETINGS at Cen
trail Baptist church. Three young
people presented themselves for
membership and others showed much
concern about their eternal welfare
ny holding up their hands for pray
er.
I DR.. harrington in his discourse on
the Gospel of the Kingdom" deplor-
ed Sunday golf, saying that he had
ather every member of his church
played golf on Sunday incidentally
than to have twelve of his members
united in a golf club that was play
ing on Sunday. The first is an in
dividual matter but the second is an
organization. He further stated that
he plays golf himself and it is a fine,
clean sport and a delightful exer-
else, but if golf is played on Sunday,
why not have picture shows, baseball
and all other forms Of Sabbath desc
Grafton? What a terrific example
before the young of this day and for
their sakes it should be stopped, he
said.
DR.. harrington dwelt upon the Sab
bath as Gods institution to relate
Jus to Himself and this day torn down
is the first step toward religious in
tegration. He asked the question,
How many would like to see their
pastor playing golf on Sunday"
lie said he made this appeal because
the fundamental law of God about
the Sabbath was being violated and
the resultant was unavoidable, spirit
ual degeneracy and that he hoped
and trusted all members Of the golf
club would see that their club would
not become a menace to the com
munity.
The great crowds are filling the
house each service and enjoy the
showers of blessings from the sing
ing, scripture readings and preach
ing of the gospel. Near two thous-
and chapters in the Bible have been
read and reported at these meetings
for the last few days by different IN
dividuals. One stated last evening
80 chapters have been read since
last report, Sunday evening.

m. on "The Two Visits of the An.

ent Sinner" This week will soon be
gone, so everybody is urged to come
for the remaining services and bring
