A Gracious Meeting.
For a long time God’s children at this place have
looked with longing eyes and prayerful hearts to
ward a time when the great tidal wave of the Holy
Spirit should sweep over our town and its people
should know by actual experience something of
the wonderful workings of God in the hearts and
lives of men. While we cannot say this has really
occurred, yet our hearts are made to rejoice because
of a gracious outpouring of God’s Spirit upon the
churches at this place.
Our pastor, Rev. J. A. Ansley, Jr., had with
him Wm. L. Walker, a man upon whom God has
laid his hand, and endowed with a great powe'r
for preaching and teaching his Gospel.
We feel that truly he was sent of God, to lead
us out into “pastures green,” and into the broader,
brighter sunlight of God’s eternal love.
So closely did Mr. Walker follow the leadings
of the Spirit, that, as he stood before us, we felt
als if God himself spoke to us and upheld us by the
“right hand of his righteousness.” By teaching
and prayer he led many of us forth from the dark
ness of doubt and misgivings into the glorious light
of confidence and assurance.
How our hearts melted, and our wills surrendered
as, day by day, he led us out upon a higher plane
of Christian living.
Truly our Brother Walker spoke with lips that
had been touched with a coal from off the altar,
and the words burned their way into the hearts and
consciences of the people,, until the redeemed of the
Lord were ready to say so. There was no display
of sectarianism; no Baptist, no Methodist or Pres
byterian; but a sweet union in heart and pur
pose of God’s children for the advancement of our
Father’s kingdom; and we worshipped together as
becometh the children of the One Eternal Father.
We realized as never before, “How good and how
pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity.”
Many Christians, who, for years, had followed
EMERSON’S PRAYER.
Whittier and Emerson were taking a
drive together when they passed a
small, unpainted house by the road
side.
“There,” said Emerson, pointingout
the house, “lives an old Calvinist, and
she prays for me every day. I am glad
she does. I pray for myself.”
“oDes she?” said Whittier. “What
does thee pray for, friend Emerson?”
“Well,” replied Emerson, “when I
first open my eyes upon the beautiful
world I thank God that I am alive and
live so near Boston.”

afar off, and had never surrendered their tongues
to the Lord, felt the awakening touch of the Spirit,
and their lips responded with glad testimonies to
the mercy and goodness of God. Oh, our hearts
rejoiced with exceeding great joy, as middle-aged
men and women felt that invisible power which
could enable them to say: “I can do all things
through Christ, which strengthened! me.” How
often in these days of refreshing from the pres
ence of God did our hearts exclaim, “0, that men
would praise the Lord for his goodness and for his
wonderful works to the children of men.”
We cannot, today, as a result of the meeting, re
joice in the salvation of many lost souls, but we
can thank God for the salvation of saved lives; and
for the transforming power of his Holy Spirit upon
the hearts of people.
I am sure that, in the days to come, life with its
responsibilities and its opportunities, will mean
more to us, because we have been face to face with
God.
We would not forget Mr. Rad Bell, a young man
of deep piety, who has a wonderfully sweet voice,
consecrated to God’s service.
How tender became our hearts, as, day by day,
he so faithfully proclaimed to us, in song, the
glorious Gospel of Christ.
May God’s richest blessings rest upon these men,
and may many souls, under their ministry, bd
born into the kingdom, that shall shine as stars in
their crowns forevermore.
Surely we feel they have wrought a good work
among us; and Time’s erasing finger will never be
able to blot out the deep impressions of the Spirit
made upon our lives under their teaching. More
than ever, our constant prayer will be:
“Increase our faith, 0, Savior, dear,
By thy sweet sovereign grace;
’Till, changing faith for vision clear,
We see Thee face to face.”

Another Joint Debate.
Just before going to press, the Editor received
the following letter, showing that the recent “joint
debate” on the whiskey question at Whigham is
having its effect beyond the borders of that victo
rious little town, and showing also that the good
old county of Terrell, so long dispensary-ridden and
whiskey-cursed, is getting ready to drive that “gay
deceiver” from her midst.
