The Tent Meeting.
This week has been ouc of un
usual intrust in town, because of the
meetings which were begun last week
but continued until now Bro. Jenk
ins arrived Monday and together
with Bro. Gunn carried on the ser
vices in the Baptist Church until
the tent arrived, Good congrega.'
ions have attended and listened at
tentively all along. Bro. Jenkins
is not a "novice” in picturing the
different phases of Christian charac
ter and human nature generally.
In hie first sermon, Bro. Jenkins
named the three essentials to sal
vation: the word, the spirit, and
human means; without these there is
uo special promise that any sinner
will be saved. They go together
in the order in which they are ham
ed; the word is the sword of the
spirit and the man is the mouthpiece
jto men. 'fhe spirit applies the
rightly spoken word to the consci
ence and conviction followed by the
new birth is the fruit.
Evangelist Jenkins says there is
no difference between the majority
of Christians and the sinners that
walk tlm -streetM T 4l»ere-
ence in their talk, none in their
looks and none in their resorts
from which they come and go.
They vote like sinners, they unite in
political schemes and they have a
common way of saying and doing
like the world. They are "white
washed’ but not “washed white.”
