THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
REVIVAL AT FIRST
PBESBTTEIR
Attendance Oood Each Night
Ah Well As the Increase of
Interest—Pastor Was the
Only Preacher.
The revival services at the First Pres,
byterian church are progressing very
satisfactory. The attenuance has been
good each night, there being more than
lhe nlghl before. Tlie Interest has
also been Increasing, as shown by the
eurneatneas of those attending, and
the plana for extending the Influence
of the meetings to others. The pastor
baa done all the preaching, and with
l«»t I nil earnestness he has laid upon
Ida members the privilege of winning
souls. Upon the unconverted he has
laid the serious responsibility of de
ciding for or against Christ, and hh*
shown the eternal ronaeipienrea hang
ing upon thla derision. There have
been aoveral professions, and a num
ber requesting prayer. Each evening
after the service there are groups of
men and of women who meet for
prayer. These after-meetings have
been the source of much power In
Ihe meetings. Each one remaining
unites In the prayer for the spiritual
awakening of Augusta.
The musical feature of the service
has been one of the most attractive
features. Professor Hattie, at much
sacrifice to himself, has led the sing
ing each evening In order to do this
he had to give up several of his
classes. He ha* a deep earnest desire
to have everyone who sings get a
comprehensive grasp of Ihe meaning
of the song. To this end he make*
them sing slower and softer than Is
usually the custom, and the change
from the “express-traln-rale" of sing
ing Is quite a pleasant one. He has
had good numbers In the choir each
evening.
The services will continue through
the week, Ihe pastor preaching at B:L>
o'clock each evening. There are no
day services, the congregation uniting
In the service at St. John's at 12:30
o'clock each day.
FINE MEETINGS Al MR.
MACEERRIN’S CHURCH
Conpregations Have Been
Good and the Meetings Have
Been a Very Fine Success So
Far.
Tlie first week of Ihe meetings at Ihe
(Jreene Street rvesbylerlan have been
very Inters!ln*, mid good congregation*
have assembled morning and night. The
masterful Interpretation of the word of
ihid by the evangelist has greatly de
lighted growing congregation* who have
uesemblt'd engetly eoch day for the
messages. The Itev. D. H. Coman .»
u minister of wide experience In evan
gelistic work. His method 1* to take
the word of God as Us own Interpreter,
and his sermons have alKiut them the
ring of certainty. As the end of all
controversy Is to have the "thus said tlie
Lord," there has been a satisfactory
feeling about the messages that Uod is
speaking through his messenger.
The character of the preaching Inst
week whs more food for the Christian
than utlmonltion to the unconverted,
though there have been many evidences
of deep thoughtfulness among the un
saved The sermons this week wIH seek
to bring to decision those who are hesl
tatlng. All ft the methods of the
evangelist are conservative, seeking to
CAiise the Interested ones to act on faith
rather than through the agitation of
feeling. Sunday morning nt 11:16, l)v.
Coman will preach on “The Judgment,
Past. Present and Future.” Sunday
evenin'! the subject will he “Man.'’
lairge congregations will doubtless hear
him on these Important subjects.
The ntuslr has been splendid A tem
porary platform has been built by the
pulpit, and a chorus choir has been or
ganised. accompanied by ptano, cornets
and violins The singing has been so
contagious that the whole congregation
has henrtlly Joined In the songs. To
day at both sendees the chorus will
lead the singing
Even’ day this week at 10:30 a. m.
and 8:00 r m the evangelist will preach.
Every regular member of the congre
gatlon Is being urged to attend, and to
extend pereonal Invitation to others to
eome with Them The newspaper
public Is areuslonted to reading rather
extravagantly worded Invitations to dif
ferent attractions, blit Mr. MacFerrln,
the pastor of the church, feels that In
alt deliberate sincerity he cun urge the
people to come and hear the preaching
of the Gospel from this remarkable
preacher. Not for eloquence, though this
Is not laok'ttg at all, hut to be taught
the truth from the word of God Itself
are the peoplq Invited to come.

He which hath
called you Is holy,
so he ye holy In
all manner of con
versation.” (1 Pe
ter 1:15.1 He said
in part:
The Scriptures
explicitly declare
- - - - J
that our greet Creitor made man In
Ilia own Image and likeness, and pro
nounced His crenture very good. But
when aln entered the world, through
the disobedience of Father Adam, he
was cut off from fellowship with his
Creator-ns n part of the penalty of
aln. This allenution from God must
have been one of man's most grievous
trials. He must have hungered and
thirsted to draw near to God once
more, to have the Divine protection,
the Divine love; otherwise he could
not hnve been created in the perfect
Image of God.
Bat as centurleß rolled on Adam’s
posterity became more and more de
praved and demoralized; the original
character-likeness to God became
blurred, faint, indistinct So while
the desire for God still remains, in
eome it is more pronounced than in
others Tn some it is so feeble thnt
they care little for their Creator and
are easily satisfied by the pleasures of
the world or by the sensualities of life
Many are separated from God
through Ignorance, superstition and
the doctrine* of demons, as the Bible
declares. Misunderstanding our grn
clous Creator, they are thus driven
away from Him. Whatever of natural
Inclination they have had the Adver
sary seeks to thwnrt. As St. Paul de
clares. "The god of this world hath
blinded the minds of them that believe
not. lest tho light of tbe glorious Gos
pel of Christ, who is the image of God,
should shine unto them" (2 Corinthians
4:4), should scatter the darkness and
make known to them the true charac
ter of God; and thus they should be
drawn to Him.
But with some of the race desire for
God and righteousness has prevailed
above the stupefying Influence of the
■world, the flesh and the Devil. This
class are drawn by the natural inclina
tion of their minds Godward—desiring
to be in harmony with their Creator.
While those who were not born of re
ligions parents have had a large expe
rience with sin and alienation from
God. others, born In a measure of Jus
tification. have had a measure of fel
lowship with God always, as children
of believers. This class are in a fa
vorable condition to be drawn of God,
and to bear His voice speaking peace
to them and pointing them to Jesus
Christ as the Way, the Truth, the Life.
"Lord, Bhow Ut the Father!"
As these come to appreciate our
Lord’s beautiful character and His
loyalty to the Father, and to under
stand that He came into the world to
die for Adam's sin. their hearts re
spond with increasing gratitude to the
Redeemer and to the Heavenly Father,
whose Plan our Lord was carrying out
More and more do they long to draw
closer to God, and to be recognized of
Him as members of His family.
Through the Word the Master In
structs them that whoever will walk
In His steps shall eventually see God
In the fulness of Heavenly glory.
Still further study of the Scripture*
Informs this class that tbe first step
to be taken ts one of faith. "Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou
shalt be saved.” Those who take this
step must recognlzF that they are (tin
ners, under the Adamic sentence, from
which no one can be freed except in
God's appointed way—Jesus. Then by
faith they must accept Jesus as the
Redeemer of Adam and his posterity.
They must perceive that His desth on
Calvary was a sacrificial one; and thnt
the grand outcome of this Ransom sac
rtflee will be that the Kingdom of God
will be established in the earth for the
purpose of uplifting mankind out ot
sin and death conditions—hack to the
fall image of God in the flesh.
The Call of the Gospel Ago.
Those who take this first step may
know what is the second step; and it
they have sufficient faith to take this
step, their sins will be forgiven and
they will tie granted a new nature
This second step Is tfl accept God's in

Thenceforth they nre New Creatures
—"old things have passed away and
all things become now." They are now
counted as member* of His glorious
Church. Their sins that nro past are

ban no defilement of Itself. But at
taching to the flesh are certain tmper

out The New Creature is to be prompt
to notice those; for the New Creature

Apparently some of God's dear peo
ple have not realized what n contract
they hnve on band. Some are Inclined
to lie careless about watching the very
things which they have been told to
watch. It I* for all the coneecrated
to remember that their first obligation
is In respect to their own flesh, not
that of others. We may give each
other valuable suggestions, but tbe re
sponsibllity for the body rests with
each n* a New Creature. And here we
have the task of our Uvea; for in our
flesh, as the Apostle says, dwells no
perfection. Seme have one degree of
imperfection and some another; some
are more Imperfect and blemished In
one way and others In another. But as
the Scriptures continually assure us.
there Is none righteous, none perfect,
no, not oue. We all come short and
need to recognize our shortcomings;
and we nre to fight the good fight
against them.
Th* New Crsatur* In School.
Whoever would be of the class to
which God has called us must of ne
cessity be developed; therefore who
ever God has called, accepted and be
gotten of the Holy Spirit are In the
School of Christ. Then begin tbe les
eons which they must learn—they must
grow In grace, in knowledge and In
love. As the Apostle explains, they
must be transformed—be formed over
If they nre not thus transformed, they
will not be ready for the Kingdom to
which they are called. This trans
forming Is not a work In the flesh, al
though It will affect the flesh to some
extent It is the renewing of the
mind—their mlmls must become new
Thereafter matters are to be decided
not according to their preferences, but
according to certain principles—justice
and love. The New Creatures In
Christ have a set of new rules, alto
gether different from what they had
before they became New Creatures.
The world has no such rules and reg
ulatlons as those which are applicable
to the New Creatures in Christ Ev
erythlng done by those who are in the
School of Christ must be squared by
the Rule of Justice. They dare not do
anything that would be unjust to a
neighbor, to a brother or to anybody
To the full extent of their ability the
New Creatures must render justice
Many of the Lord's people apparently
have not fully realized this fact—that
obedience to the rules governing the
new nature means absolutely the Gold
en Rule on their part toward all oth
ers. They must not do to others what
they would not have others do to them
Because of failure on the part of
some to recognize this principle, tho
way of the Lord 1* spoken evil ot
sometimes. If a Christian falls to pay
his debts, or If he is careless as to
how he involves himself In debt, it is
because this principle of Justice does
not stand out prominently enough bfr
fore his mind. As an old creature he
has perhaps been In the habit of ig
noring the lines of Justice and of slid
lng along as ho may be able and of
leaving others In the lurch. This will
not do for the New Creature: for he
has come uuder a set of new rules,
and no matter how much the old crea
ture may seek to shirk, the New Crea
ture's duty is to bring tbe body Into
subjection and to see that justice rules
in every act and word, and so far as
possible la every thought.
“They Shall All Be Taught of God."
To whatever extent the principles of
justice control our minds, to that ex
tent we have character-likeness to
God. Tho cultivation of these princi
ples in all our actions and dealings, in
all our words and thought*, must be
our daily concern. It may be cornpar
atively easy to be Just so far as money
is concerned, to say, I would pay to
the very last penny, and would live on
the plainest of food rather than be in
debt; but it is not so easy to be thor
oughly Just In our words and thoughts
The New Creature is to sit in judg
ment on every word which his mouth
may utter. It is no wonder that St.
James says that if any man sin not
with his tongue tbe same la a perfect
man. The New Creature Is to be on
guard that he may be developed along
this line, and must thoroughly show
the Lord that he has no sympathy with
injustice.
One must be just in his thoughts be
fore be can be properly just in his
dealing*. The man who thinks tin
justly will act unjustly, in spite or
himself; the New Creature
must lie disciplined even to the control
of his thoughts. He must never think
of any one except with an unprejudic
ed mind, a calm judgment, seeking to
give other* tlie benefit of tbe doubt. If
there is any doubt whatever. Addi
tionally. he mnst lieed the lord's coun
sel that we should exercise great mer
cy. and that He would rather have us
err In the sense of being too lenient
than hnve n.s lie merely Just.
But beyond Justice conies love, the
very highest of God's attributes. God
Is ilist: but lie is I.ove, also, which is
higher, lu the sense that it implies
something more than mere justice.

God I* more than Juat, however, nnd

been working all through III*, great
Plan of the Age*, providing first the

Church, that through III* mercy we
might come from the rnnka of sinners
up to the ranks of glory. To accnm

the Church, ha* encouraged them by
assurance* of His love and favor all
the wsy and ha* mad* all things work
; together for llielr good.
"Be Y# Perfeot."
This. then, la the Love of God; and
the New Creature* In Christ must
, have this character-likeness to Ged.
We must have love, sympathy, and not
merely Justice. There Is nothing of
grace In the giving of Justice; any
thing les* than Justice is wrong. But
the Lord’s people must be more than
Just; they are to be kindly affectloued
1 one to another, tender-hearted, forgiv
ing one another, even as God fag
Christ's sake lias forgiven them. Our
Heavenly Father wishes His children
to see that quality in His character
and to copy IL This Is what Jesus
meant when He said, "Be ye perfect
even as your Father in Heaven Is per
fect” We cannot bring our mortal
body to that degree of perfection
where every act would be perfect, ev
ery word perfect but the mind must
be in full sympathy and accord with
God and His arrangements, and each
must strive to the best of his ability
to bring the body Into barmony with
God.
As the Bible teaches, the Church
class are In the School of Christ being
taught of God—His workmanship. By
Ills providence and His Word ne has
been working In us, by our experiences,
which He has shaped for us. and by
the opportunities which He gives us.
All these things are designed by the
Lord to bless us and to develop us in
His own character-likeness, so that as
Jesus said, we may be like unto our
Father in Heaven, so that we may be
holy, even ns ne is holy—that our In
tentions. aims, desires, may be of ex
actly the same kind as His own.
If. therefore, any one who professes
to be a New Creature in Christ has in
his heart a feeling of bitterness, envy
or strife, let him beware! Such a con
dition of heart is dangerous; it is uot
j of the Holy Spirit at all. Those who
I have such elements of character are
not holy as the Heavenly Father is
holy. On the contrary, as the Apostle
explains, these qualities of character
are works of the flesh and of the Devil:
and to whatever extent one possesses
these, they are the result of the snirit
of the flesh and of the Devil at work
in the heart.
But if, on the contrary, one has holi
ness and a fulness of desire to know
and to do God’s will as an increasing
power in his heart, then he is indeed
being sealed of the Holy Spirit of God.
The character-likeness of our Father
in Heaven Is being impressed upon
him. He is more and more coming to
see things from God's viewpoint—to
see as God sees, to sympathize with
the things with which God sympa
thizes. to be opposed to the things to
which God is opposed.
The Grand Climax of Character.
Of our Lord Jesus it was written:
"Thou lovost righteousness, and batest
iniquity: therefore God, Thy. God,
hath anointed Thee with the otl of Joy
nbove Thy fellows" (Psalm 45:7)-
above the angels, above the Church,
making Him to be Head over all
things to the Church nnd decreeing
that all the angels shall worship Him.
(Hebrews 1.6-9.) In order to copy
Him we must see to what extent He
loved righteousness and hated iniquity.
He so hated wickedness that in eyery
way He avoided injustice, iniquity, un
righteousness, sin; and He so loved
righteousness that He preferred to die
even the death of the cross rather than
so resist the will of God.
This, then, is the great test of char
acter going on with the Lord’s people,
and according to these lines God is
dealing with them. It is not merely
that they are fighting the good fight
and trying to accomplish something in
their flesh; for the New Creature will
never succeed in getting as good con
trol of the flesh as he could wish. But
what God wishes to see in His people
is that their whole hearts are set for
righteousness, that they love the right
and hate the wrong, and that they are
striving to the best of their ability to
put down the wrong and to uphold the
right, especially in themselves —In their
own characters and in their own acta,
words and thoughts.
So shall they be the children of the
Highest; and when our great Redeem
er shall examine them for graduation
from the School of Christ, He shall be
ready to say to each. "Well
and faithful servant; thou hast been
faithful over a few things. I will make
thee ruler over many things."
"My life flows on In endless song.
Above earth’s lamentation;
catch the sweet, not far-off hymn.
That halls a New Creation.
Through ail the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing:
It finds an echo In my aoul—
How can I keep from Binging?
"I lift mine eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above It;
And day by day this pathway smooths.
Since first I learned to love It.
The Peace of Christ rr.akea fresh ms
heart.
A fountain ever springing:
All things are mine since 1 am hSa
llow can 1 keep from singing?”
