I want to tell you about my Grandfather (on
my Mother's side), Samuel Charles Cathcart,
or as we called him "Papa". As a child, I
remember spending precious time with him
around the farm. We would ride around town
in his brown Cadillac with his dog, and even
go fishing around the old pond, and yes, even
doing some work around the farm too. (Yes! I
did work!, There, I said it)
You know the kind of work, feeding cows, horses, cleaning stalls, etc. Things I
didn't really like to do. But, it had to be done, and according to Papa, I was just the
one "called" to do it.
As many of you already know, my family was very Churched and wherever we
went, we attended. Especially at my Grandparents home in Cobbham, Georgia. You
see, we would go to visit about 6-8 times a year. And even sometimes, I would
spend time during the summer staying and
working on the farm, (of course doing as
little as I could)
I remember this one occasion, we all
were "up and adam" around 7:00 a.m
preparing to attend Church services at
the old country Church my Grandparents
attended.
Actually, this particular Sunday, there
was a reallly good crowd. I know our
family filled about 2-3 pews. We sang
the old familar hymns that we loved and
some hymns we didn't. We heard the
Old Country Choir sing a familar hymn
with those beautiful 4 part voices, and of
course, the preacher would preach.
Now, I remember the pastor at this time
was a very loud. You know the type, fire
and brimstone preacher, gets really loud
at certain points, and of course you
always thought he was preaching right
at you.
Now, I know that some of you can relate to this next part. You see, the pastor was
giving us some good stuff that day and it seemed to upset my Grandfather. I really
never knew why he was upset, I just knew he was. You see, my Grandfather, loved a
little drink occasionally and I think that morning he had filled the "Bible bottle" with
his favorite, Moonshine. Now, "Bible bottle" for those of you who don't know, is
a short term for the bottle you put in a cut out hole in the middle of the Bible where
many men (and some ladies) kept there booz. (You just never knew when you might
"just" need some.)
Well, I guess he needed it really bad, when all of a sudden, Papa starts to sing at a
very loud voice, "I can tell you the time, I can take you to the place, where the Lord
saved me, by his wonderful Grace." Now of course everyone was shocked, some
were bewildered, and of course, some just ignored him. But, being my Papa, the
more they ignored him the louder he got. Singing at the
top of his lungs.
The preacher finally stopped in the middle of his
sermon and pointed at my Grandfather and said, "Sing
it Brother." I think he thought Papa was "filled" with the
spirit. I do think he was "filled" with the spirit, just NOT
the Holy Spirit!
At this point, myself and my other cousins could not
hold back the laughter. My Mother looked at me and
pointed her finger at me and said "SIT DOWN!" She
gave me "one of those", "do it again and he won't be the
only one filled with the Spirit."
I can tell you the time, was written by Adger M. Pace
in the early 1900's. Bom in August of 1882 in Pelzer,
South Carolina, He soon gained a love and appreciation
for music that characterized the remainder of his life.
Pace sang bass for seventeen years as a member of the
Vaughan Radio Quartet, singing over W.O.A.N. Radio,
which was one of the South's first radio stations. He was
also active in singing conventions, serving as one of the
organizers and the first president of the National Singing
Convention in 1937. Please enjoy the words to this
hymn. If you know the tune, sing along. . . but, just don't
forget your "Bible Bottle", it helps.
I can tell you now the time,
I can take you to the place
Where the Lord saved me by
His wonderful grace (by His wonderful grace)
But I can not tell you how
and I can not tell you why
But He’ll tell me all about it
in the by and by (in the by and by)
I can never forget when He spoke to me gently
In the fountain of life there’s a
balm for your soul
So I heeded His voice,
He was speaking intently
Through His marvelous grace
I am happy and whole
