A Most Remarkable Religious Meet

The meeting wae\
success. The preaching was as
able and impressive as is ever
heard by a like gathering, the at
tention was all that could be des
ired and serious thought arose and
solemn resolutions were formed
and professions made that will re
sult in permanent good in a reli
gious way.
In our last issue we told of the
progress of the meeting up to Wed
nesday night. Thursday Dr. Len
G. Broughton, pastor of Taber
nacle Baptist church, in Atlanta,
who is so prominently known for
his couiageous and caustic war
fare on all kinds of sins, preached
at the morning service. His ser
mon was a strong one and was lis
tened to with much interest by the
large crowd present.
Rev. G. R. Stuart, who preach
ed with such fervor and rendered
such valuable aid in the first days
of the meeting, left for his home at

of the grandest sermons ever heard
in this section was delivered by
this profound, scholarly, loyable
and consecrated divine. It was on
“Man’s Duty to God” and gave a
never-fading picture of man’s rela
tion to the higher power auu the
need of obedience and deyotion to
duty, from the mightiest to even
the most trifling essentials.
Friday night the “blacksmith
preacher,” as he is called, Rev.
Sexton, of Knoxville, gave one of
his interesting talks. He took
some part in each service from the j
time he came, and his religious'
fervor gpd homespun remarks
that seeded froih a true heart car
ried force with them and were al
ways impressive.
Rev. Sam Jones gave a short
discourse at this service and was

Saturday morning was the great
childrens’ service, conducted by R.
B. Reppard, the great Sunday
school man of Savannah. It was
certainly an inspiring scene to wit
ness the hundreds of children as
sembled and with bright sunny
faces listening to words of encour
agement and advice on the line of
a pious life and these illustrated
by dumb blackboard exercises.
Mr. Reppard is of a most gifted
and successful entertainers of chil

A large audience assembled at
the tabernacle last Friday morning
—educational day—promptly at
10:30 a. m. Prof. E. C. Branson,
president of Georgia State Nor
mal school began his interesting
address as to the needs for manual
training in our schools. Hands as
well as hearts and heads of pupils
should be trained, so that life work
may be entered upon with the as
surance of the knowledge in pos
session, to be put into it, to win
the greatest success. His remarks
were well received and caused the
parents present to think of their

ing them with the training needed j
everywhere in life. The speaker ;
explained why the idea of a model j
school originated and what was
the aim of those so warmly inter
ested in the organization aud main- 1
tenance of such schools.
Rev. Sam P, Jones followed in ;
commendation of the “model
school” idea, considered it a great
advance over present methods. He
urged the people to see to the edu
cation of their children. In clos- J
iug he stated that when the call
for funds for the model school was
made, he desired to take a hand.
State School Commissioner Glenn
failed to meet with the people, on
this day doubtless some good rea
son existed for his non appearance.
At eleven o’clock Rev. Len G.
Broughton, of Atlanta, preached a
very powerful sermon.
The climax in attendance was
reached Sunday, aud indeed, the >
crowd was, without doubt, the larg- j
est in the history of these services, j
reaching over a period of sixteen
years. Early in the morning peo
ple from the country, and from
many miles in all directions began
to come in iu vehicles, and the first
train on the East and West came
in at 9:30, and followed by the oth
er trains, and a vast multitude of
people were on the grounds before
the preaching hour. Vehicles and
stock were thick, ki tfie woods west
of the tacernacle for nearly a quar
ter of a mile. The trains came in
jammed with people. The East
and West ran a train in at 9:30
from Cedartown, which was fol
lowed by a train through from Pell
City at 10. The Cedartown train
went back to Aragon and returned
with a full load. Besides the reg
ular train south, a special was run
from Rome and both these trains
were packed, The regular from
Atlanta was packed as was also a
special. On this train run by San
ford Vandivere there were 1000

people in eight coaches. The tab
ernacle was filled long belore time
for the 11 o’clock service and the j
grounds were covered thickly with |
people who could not get seats.
The most conservative estimates
place the crowd at 10,000 people
while some estimates went as high
as 15,000.
A noticeable thing about the
crowd was the extreme good order. !
We heard a minister long in ser
vice say that it was the largest re- \
ligious gathering he ever saw and
the best behaved big crowd, and
made the statement a basis for a
fine compliment on the orderly
bearing of the people of this sec
tion.
Sam Jones was veritably at his
best on Sunday morning. He
preached from the text “What I
Have Written I Have Written” —
John 19-22. It was his well known
sermon he has preached a number
of times before on “Conscience and
Record,” and the earnestness and
fervor he threw into his delivery
enchained his vast throng of hear
ers until his last word. It was
evident when he had' finished that
his sermon had had a deep effect.
At the service on Saturday morn
ing Mr. Jones made reference to
the nation’s great calamiiy, the
death of the president, and named
Judge Jchn Akin, Judge A. W.
Fite and Dr. W. I. Benham as a
committee to draft suitable resolu
tions expressive of the deep sor
row felt.
Before the great throng Sunday
morning Judge Akin read the res
olutions prepared which were lis
tened to with solemn attention and
were adopted by a rising vote.
The resolutions were as follows:
“This vast congregation of thou
sands of southern men, women and
children, assembled this Sabbath
morning in the Sam Jones taber
nacle at Cartersville, Ga., for di
vine worship conducted by that
eminent southern evangelist, does

with which the murder of the pres- j
ident of our common country has !
shocked the world.
“An honorable soldier, an illus
trious statesman, a notable citizen, j
a loving friend, a tender husband,
and, best of all, an humble Chris
tian, has, in the person of William
McKinley, the chief magistrate of
these United States, been shot to
death in the full zenith of his
splendid fame, without cause or ex
cuse. A world bows grieving at
his bier, and angels pause in their
celestial flight aboye his sleeping
dust.
“His gentleness softened, his in
tellect brightened, his heart mel
lowed, his Christianity illumined.
Peace to his illustrious ashes!
“At the feet of Columbia,mourn
ing because he is not, we lay this
tribute of our hearts.”
Rev. Baseom Anthony, of Saym;
nah, preached Sunday afternoon.
Sunday night Sam Jones preach
ed the closing sermon of the meet
ing. It was a feeling discourse
and listened to with good attention.
Sunday morning and Sunday night
he preached from the same texts
and the same sermons that he did
sixteen years ago the day Sam
Small was converted.
At all the services invitations
were extended to all to come to
the altar who wanted to lead bet
ter lives and these calls were al
ways responded to by many per
sons. On some propositions the
whole assemblage seemed moved
and gave manifestations of the
deep feelings they experienced. A
number of conversions resulted and
a number of those experiencing
changes joined some one of the
churches.
