ALMON SINGING.
The Newton county singing conven¬
tion met with the Baptist church at
Alrnon Sunday evening.
dience We had and a the very singing appreciateive splendid, au-*j
was i
There were representatives from quite I
a list numebr of leaders of distant increased churches, wonder* and the |
were
fully. | j
Brother T. G. and R. W. Boggus
were on hand from Macadonia with j
their violin and cornet, to join the
choir and give their full support, al- |
though we didn’t use their instruments, j
as circumstances and conditions were j
not favorable, but in the future they j
expect to be right up in the front
ranks.
The people at Alrnon appreciate good
singing and are awake to the need of
more and better Gospel singing. Broth¬
er A. J. Wingate, fhe Sunday School
Superintendent made an excellent
speech in the interest of singing, and
ootnmended very highly this move in
the county for a revival of Gospel sing¬
ing and made earnest appeal for
more Gospel singing, and more Chris¬
tians to sing the Gospel, as none but
Christians sould sing the Gospel.
| This was a timely thought thrown
out, and I trust that all the singers
and especially leaders present caught
it. and I am making it public that those
who w r ere not present and read this
may get the thought, and begin to con¬
sider their relationss to Christianity
as they go about leading and singing
Gospel Songs.
I haven't time and space to comment
on this further, the assertion has been
made, nad I believe by a good man; the
thought is before you for considera¬
tion.
The convention meets with Lovejoy
the third Sunday evening and Mace¬
donia gives us an all-day singing the
Fourth Sunday. Everybody invited to
come and bring a well filled basket.
