Revival At
S. Henderson
By WILLIE MAE FAULKNER

A series of revival meetings is in
progress at the South Henderson
Baptist church. The pastor, Rev. j.
u. league, is doing the preaching.
He chose as his subject last night
MANS lost and helpless condition, y
with the text from Romans 5:6-12.
The sermon was as follows:
It is my purpose tonight to help
you see your lost condition and help
you, if l may, find way Of escape.
The first question may be asked:
"Why man is LOST. Not because
someone else has sinned; not be-
cause of the sins they have commit
ted but for the sin of unbelief. It's
true Adam did sin and it remains
upon the world today, but the con-
dition l want you to see is my mans
lost. It's not the number of sins
men commit that makes them lost
men, women, boys or girls, but it's
one "sin"-the sin of unbelief, re-
jecting Jesus. The sin of unbelief
condemns man to neil. He that be-
lieveth is not condemned but he that
believeth not is condemned already
Because he hath not believed in the
name of the only begotten son of
God. Mans lost condition is not de-
pendent on another's sins but his
own
What is the present condition of
a lost man in this world? First: He
is without salvation, without ever
|; sting life. Every one of you to-
night are placed in two classes; you
either have Jesus in your life or
you don't, you are either saved or
lost in this present world. Second:
Not only do we have everlasting
life but we are under condemna-
ton. Every one of you boys and
girls when you grow old enough to
reach accountability and reject
Jesus you have unbelieved. Third:
iding wrath of God is upon
you. "He that believeth on the
Son of God has everlasting life "
Gods eternal wrath is abiding on
every man, woman, boy or girl. Oh!
that somehow we might stir our life
and realize that the penalty of death
is standing over us. How awful
it is to be lost from God. The ma
jority of the world, taking it as a
whole, is lost. So many are oblivious
of the fact. Thoughtless they are
waiting and putting it off. Many
families are unsaved. They have
Gods wrath hanging over their
heads. I can't understand how they
can do it. He stands as a condemn
ed prisoner If you have ever en-
tered the jails and penitentiaries you
saw how they were chained, some

locked in cells.
Some years ago I was asked by a
mother and father to visit their
boy, a prisoner in Raleigh. l had
prayed with the boy during my child
hood. The man had grown insane
from drinking whisky. He shot one
Gay and killed his wife and four
children, and would have killed his
mother and father because sin had
taken his mind. My brother was
called to arrest him or kill him, but
when my brother got there neigh
Dor mad conquered him. Sin had
taken hold and condemned him. Sin
not only brings condemnation but
brings death. The mans life wasn't
taken but they condemned him in
sane. That day as he came down
the stairs, I was sitting so l could
see him because / didn't know what
ms reaction would be. He came and
shook hands with me and called me
by my name. I want to tell you,
my friends, when you look upon a
man that has been condemned there
is look you won't forget.
While at Wake Forest college
ACNNAVC0 q Lice ClCkGC W see q IldIl
electrOcuted I saw him as he
walked to the chair and as they
strapped him down. But the thing
| noticed most was the look on that
condemned mans face. At the
judgment bar of God you are a
condemned man. AS long as l live
| shall never want to see another
person electrocuted, see them as
they slip into death.
And yet, tonight, my friends,
am looking into the face of men,
women, who are not saved, you are
condemned for hell. It means eter-
nal separation from God Physical
death is when the breath leaves your
body, but what a sad thing when
our souls are separated from God.
Spiritual death, no way D> reunite
with God again. Not only does it
mean eternal separation, but eter-
1.al punishment. What can man do
about it? No man can save himself,
no man can merit salvation. It's
through grace you are saved,
through faith. May God help every
one to see and realize and feel this
deep need.

publican standpoint was made Tues
day night at a meeting of members of

man of the Allegany county commit
tee, presided and called on the various
committeeman for expressions of opin-
ion as to the coming campaign and
likely candidates.
Colonel Henderson in opening his
remarks emphasized that the commit
tees were in no sense trying to pick
candidates nor to eliminate anyone
from becoming a candidate, but it was
the desire to try to keep harmony and
to prepare plans for a vigorous cam
paign with a united party. In add
ton to reviewing the Congressional
situation, the committeeman laid plans
for the campaign next year.
Attending the meeting from this
county were Julius c. Renninger, the
chairman; Henry W. McComas and
George D. White. William D. Casteel,
other member of the committee, was
unable to attend There were twenty
five present in all. 1t is planned to hold
another meeting in January at time
and place to be announced later.
Although no person indicated he
would be a candidate next year, it was
intimated that A. Charles Stewart, Al
legany county, and Walter Johnson,
Montgomery county, former pitcher
for the Washington baseball club, were
thinking about the possibility of being
candidates for the nomination.
