Pace 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 Sylvania Sportsman, Inc Rusly a Abbie Robbins 0 wttbr-J 305 Mims Road Sylvania, Georgia 3046T sy.van asp:itsnijr■ com 844-485-2490 A.vivint Know When People and Packages Arrive ’Qualifying system purchase requires minimum $599.99 equipment purchase, professional installation and applicable services agree ment.
