Happy Happenings.
The series of protracted meet
ings in this community has come
to a close. Some striking ser
mons have been preached. Some
that ought never to be forgotten
by the people who have sat under
the voice of those who preached
them. But, my! my! To some
they were only as chaff that is
separated from the wheat, I sus
pect, though I hope not. It seems
that way at the present time, but
may the words of the preachers
be as the words of our prophets,
be sown now to be reaped in the
years to come. O, that God
would tend us all and make us to
understand and know that we are
His, and that we should love one
another as he loved us.
Rev. Aycock and *Rev. Pierce
have just closed a meeting at Mt.
Carmel. Rev. Pierce, of Colum
bus, conducted the preaching ser
vices and Mr, Jenkins, of Atlanta,
conducted the singing. We com
mend him in the highest degree,
because we feel that God is with
him and he is using what God has
given him. He gave him a talent
and he is using it. He is blind in
his eyes, but not blind in the spirit.
Oh, how many young men have
good eyes, good ears, and can
speak for God to glorify his Holy
name and will just sit still, as far
as spiritual things are concerned,
and won’t do anything.
What is God going to do with
that kind of a young man? Cast
him into outer darkness.
Fourteen united themselves with
the church.
How much longer have the
preachers to preach to the church
members? In all the meetings we
have had this summer there was
nearly all the time taken in preach
ing to the church. There is no
time to look after the sinners.
What is going to become of them
if the church don’t put on the robe
of righteousness or the whole ar
mor of God and get out of the
wav of sinners and then step out
and invite them to partake of the
good things which the Lord has
given them to feast upon.
