AMPLIFIER: con Tuesday night,
yes, TUESDAY night, December -
1850, we decided to go out to the
great Revival Meetings, which are pc
ing conducted at the above named
church, by Rev. (Sister) Josephine
becton, nationally known Evangelist
OF New York. Rev. DR.. Robert Moten
Williams, is the honored pastor,
When we arrived they were engaged
in their song and prayer services,
which ali were enjoying. The Church
was filed to its capacity, and every
one felt perfectly at home These
series of religious meetings have
been going on ever since the 30th OF
November, and have been quite sue
cessful, both spiritually and inan-
cially. The crowds Larger and Larger,
and the people began to get more and
more into these SERVICES; so much
so until this Church has become an
irresistible MAGNET for drawing
the people from far and near to hear
the wonderful messenger, Rev.
(Sister) Josephine Becton."
MRS. SENTIMENT: 81 would like
very much to hear this powerful
woman, Preach, Teach and Sing.
Proceed-ampie?"
AMPLIFIER: "You cut me off
from my point: AS l was saying,
these series of meetings are moving
on with great SPIRITUAL FERVOR;
the Sermons, Songs, Prayers, Test.
monies, Instrumental Music and
Religious greetings are very pleasing;
and SISTER BECTON'S pleading
with the unconverted is edifying and
conscientious. Each night, she
appears before her large audience
filled with the Holy Ghost; and quite
enthusiastically, does she, give us
the 'outgushing Of her SOUL leaving
No stones unturned."
BRO. SENTIMENT: You were
fxting to say something about the
pastor, Rev. R. M. Williams, driving
the flock away What about it? All,
come on and tell US we heard all
about it?" i&AAI
AMPLIFIER: "Well if you heard
all about it, why do you ask me
about it. YOU OLD HYPOCRITE,
YOU wanted this meeting to close any
way, and be a FAILURE, but you
missed your aim. Things were ironed
out very, very we'll, and the services
continued with undated momentum.
This little misunderstanding was
gotten straight right in the midst OF
the great multitude on Wednesday
night, December 10, 1880. Well, the
devil missed his aim. The meeting
was a greater success wednesday
night, after the v%anishment of old
satan's spirit. Look out you evil
! doors, and ditch diggers-for when
you dig a ditch for your sisters and
| brethren, you will fall in it your
| self. Rev. (Sister) Josephine Becton,
| teaches and breaches strong against
| sin and the devil, regardless of whom
it may hit. God commands all of His
messengers to preach this kind OF
gospel. The Lord pointed Sister Bee

| sage, and she had to obey. She is ar
| undaunted Ambassadors for God
| That she is one of the few, who viii
| stand up for Him, and tell Israel OF
her sins and the house of Jacob Of his
transgressions. Some times her ser
mons are as sweet IS honey, anc
some times they are as bitter a;
quinine. Go on with the word of Goo
sister Becton, if some of vi men are
afraid, (just like Jonah) to go anc
tell the people what the Lord woult
have us to do in order to inherit thar
everlasting life; you be brave like
Queen Ester; and God will bless yor
and your workers. If He is for you
who can be against you?"
