very noticeable that he did not
speak harsh or unkindly of any
other denomination. lie preached
his belief, but left bid religious
neighbor free to do the same. He
appeared to be perfectly fair in all
of his statements and took no un
due advantage of any one.
Mr. Charlton is a fine singer and
gave perfect satisfaction to all.
There were thirty-nine added to the
church here.
In his farewell talk to the new
converts Evangelist' Violett said:
‘'When there is a revival in town,
no matter at what church the ser
vices are being held, you go and
take your preacher with you, put
your shoulder to the wheel and
help lead men and women to Christ..
Don’t ever get it into yoiu*- heads
that you are the only Christian-
May you die before you do. "l ake
this little Bible and cherish it. It
is your only creed and rule of faith,
put its teachings into practice and
should John Wood ever fail to teach
and preach the Word of God you
quit his church.”
These gentlemen begin a series of
meetings in Macon Sunday next.
They carry the good will of many
friends with them.
