EVANGELIST PREACHES TO.
GOOOD CROWDS STILL AT LO-|
CAL METHODIST REVIVAL. '
' “Making the Useless Useful,” was'
Mvangelist Lovein’s theme this;
morning as he preached from John
1:42 “hou art Simon,—thou shalt be
Oephas” The sermon was the story
of the life of this Apostle, Simon,
Poter, and in a dramatic fashion the
speaker told of how the Lord took
hold of this one time worthless man
and made cut of him a pillar in the
early church. |
To a congregation that filled the
auditorium last night the evangelist
preached on “The Glory of the
Church.” It was a message to.the
church in general and to the of.'
ficials in the church in particular.
The lesson was from the 87th Psalm
and the text, “This and that man
was born there,” and from these
words Mr. Lovein deducted the les
son that the glory of the church as,
seen by God is that men and women
shall be born into the kingdom of
God in here. *The Church” said he
“isthe place for birthplace for souls.
and if this worp is not being done
in the church, then just that {ar s
the church failing to be glorious.
Tonight is to be observed as
Mothers and Daughters night in the
revival. The men and boys are alse
invited and expected to attend, but
the service has been planned for the
women and their daughters.
The rastor, Rev. J. B. Johnstone
said yesterday that he was advised
hy some of the oldest residents of
our city that the- meeting now in
progress is reaching more peole, and
that.the evangelist is receiving a
larger hearing than has been known
in Cordele in a number of years.
The services will close with the ser
vice on Sunday night,
