If You Have Not Heard Henry Clay Risner Preach You Have Miss ed a Great Deal. Our meeting in Scottsboro, Ala., be gan on August 20th., and closed Aug ust 31st. The preaching was done by Dr. Henry Clay Risner, pastor Broad way Baptist church, Knoxville, Tenn. Dr. Risner’s sermons are marvelous alike in their simplicity and power. A great orator, he uses all of his gifts in preaching “the unsearchable riches of Christ” His sermons are as fresh as the “breezes from the South.” Dr. Risner is a profound student of the Bible; at the same time he draws upon poetry, architecture, painting, and the beauties of nature for approp riate illustrations. Our town was mightily stirred by the unique preaching of this man of God. Hundreds of people waited upon his ministry; on the last night we could not seat all who came. Christians were built up in the most holy faith and our church was blessed beyond measure. I met Brother Risner in Texas sev eral years ago; to renew our friend ship, and to be so closely associated with him for ten days was a great joy. The meeting was a feast to my own soul; I am thankful that God, in His providence, made it possible for Brother Risner to be with us. Scotts boro will not soon forget him. Faithfully yours, SPURGEON WINGO. Scottsboro, Ala. 7
