TOWN IS CLOSING
FOR REVIVAL HGUR
FIRST MORNING SERMON FOR
WEEK WAS LARGELY AT
TENDED.
The revival at the Methodist church
has begun to grip Cordele as the
workers begin the second week of
their campaign. The stores in the
city will be closed from 10 to 11 a.
m., this agreement having been
reached this morning and many of
the places of business were locked
tight and a large number of the
business men of the city were in at
tendance upon the services to hear
Rev. N. M. Lovein make an earnest
plea to the Christian people to
“Come ye yourselves apart.”
The congrezations on Sunday were
large and the evangelist melted and
swayed the large audience as he
preached on “A Bible Christian”
Rarely has a congregation in Cordele
been so visibly effected. ¥ |
Last night the church auditorium
overflowed and many of those who
attended the services had to find a
place in the Sunday School room.
The evangelist seemed to be at his
best as he preached on “Sin, as secen
through the eyes of God.” It was a
parallel between sin and leprsosy
It was at this hour that the evange
list turned with ridicule upon those
who would find an easy or a human
agency to do away with sin. “There
is no human cure for leprosy, and
there is none for sin” said Mr. Love
in. ¢I know” said he, “of the teach-<
ing of sume, relative to en‘.'ironment}
and education and culture: T am ac-.
quainted with all these doctors, but
where are their patients now?"i
“Where are the physicially fit” con
tinued Mr. Lovein, and he answered
his own question by saying that the
physically fit men were in the prize
rings and the women in the beauty
contests, That this urgent, and plain
spoken appeal made a profound im
pression was clearly evidenced by
the large show of hands for prayer
at the conclusion of the evangelist’s
message, |
The pastor, Rev. J. B. Johnstone
made an appeal for the business men
of the city to stand back of the
mecting during this week and has an
nounced the hours of service to be
at 10 a, m., and 8 p, m, |
