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.
