SUNDAY. APRIL 5. NEWS OF THE AUGUSTA CHURCHES Last Week of Simultaneous Meetings Have Proven a Very Great Success Thin 1« the last weak of the simul taneous lin'd Ink’s. Have you been at tending your church? Have you been backlr.K the movement to net togeth er? If not, why not? If not, will you not bksrth today? Never In our history have we had anything like the meetings now In progress. It is n test of those who have fought the spectacular high pres sure campaign In the Individual ennrotl. There Is no effort on the part of the preachers or the churches to exalt one congregation at the ex pense of another. The concord of the meetings Is most beautiful. There has been no idea or desire to create oneness of creed. The preachers In the different churches are preaching their peculiar doctrines. It Is true, but there Is no effort to create a oneness; that Is. a oneness In thought, oneness In worship, one ness in organization. What the preachers want and what they have in a good degree is harmony. After the meetings are over and the churches look back on the two weeks spent In the simutlaneous evajsiells tic services it is very probable that tile feeling will prevail that this has been a series of meet.ngs of far reaching qualities. You are requested to devote this week to the meetings. Go to one of the churches at leats once a day. Let the preaching, the prayers, and the singing sink into your soul. It may be the beginning of a habit that wIH make you a better man. a happier wo man. You will find a warm welcome at any church this week where serv ices are being conducted. Splendid Services at Second Baptist Church The Second Baptist church, comer D’Antignac and Eleventh streets. Is in the midst of a very promising meeting. Kev. Geo. E. Davis, pastor of the First Baptist church, Orangeburg, S. C.. came last Monday and from the begin ning he has charmed those who have had the pleasure to hear him. Mr. Davis is a man of striking per sonality. There is a subtle power about his voice and manner, and from the beginning to the close of his ser mon one is caught and held. His ser mons show great care In preparation and are freighted with the most beau tiful illustrations. He appeals both to the heart and the intellect, and many who have heard him last week will no doubt amend their way of liv ing. His methods are very sane and simple. You are not tired with i number of wild propositions. He does not believe in working a revival up; he holds that revivals are prayed down. He makes you feel the faith that he has in God and leads you with his c! arming magnetism and beauti ful idealr to trust his Father. The congregations hive been count ed from the ear’y part of the meet ing and each day has marked an in crease. A number have expressed a desire to become Christians and no doubt will unite with the church. The church and pastor are gre tly pleased with the outlook. The women meet for ten minutes' prayer before the night service in one of the Sun day school roems end the men are requested to meet this week in the Baraga class room ten minutes before the service for prayer. It is hoped that the Baraca class, which has done such a great p rt in helping the young men' of the church and community, will arrange to be at every service this week, and take part in this pray er meeting. The singing is led by Mrs. James Rrotherton. She has a splendid choir and the congregation is giving her great support. Services will continue through the week at 4 and 8 p. m. Come and bring a friend. The pastor Rev. O. P. Gilbert, urges all the members of the church to be faithful this week and help make this the great meeting of the church. Meetings at Woodlawn Methodist Church Rev. J. O. Brand Is meeting with good support in his meeting at the Woodlawn church. He came to Wood lawn last fall, and this is his first re vival service. The church requested him to hold the meeting. He arranged with Dr. W. T. Hamby, presiding el der of the district, to assist him. Dr. Hamby preaches in the afternoon and Dr. Brand at night. When asked for a statement of the success of the meetings. Dr. Brand said: "Our meetings are moving along very nicely. The congregations are in creasing at every service. People who have never professed religion are taking interest, it is to be hoped that there will be many conversions before the close of the meeting. There is being a workers’ committee organized. The object of the pastor is to develop in the church all the available ma terial possible for evangelistic pur poses so that when the revival ser vices are closed they will not be over. Within the mebership of Woodlawn church there is a great deal of splen did material for church work. "Mrs. Chas. A. Pender has charge of the choir and is rendering superb service. To her and her splendid co workers we are indebted largely for the interest in the meetings. Within the bounds of Woodlawn there is a large territory that needs to be de veloped—in fact there ought to be an institutiom-1 church, and sometime when we get the church finished that will be the thing to aim at. "We welcome anybody in our midst and at our services that can help us in an/ way. We send a special mes sage to those who are not Christians. Book over our mistakes and crippled lives and we will try to help you get to Chr*st where He can help you be come something in this life and that which is to come.” Curtis Baptist Meetings. From the beginning the services have £een of unusual power. Dr. Buchholz believes in the Word with out reservation and preaches the doc trines of the Book without fear or favor. His subjects for the past week have dealt with Christian fidelity, the doctrines of the Holy Spirit, the sec ond coming of Jesus Christ, etc., whtls he has dealt mercilessly with sin, driv ing home conviction, under (rod. He is straightforward, plain spoken, di rect and strikes with terrific force in his efforts to show men where they stand in regard to sin. righteousness and eternity. Mr. Williagis puts the message Into his singing. His enunciation is clear his voice strong and the expression of his face carries the conviction and earnestness of his soul with the words of the song. His good has made a profound impressirm and will doubtless be a large factor in the success of the meeting. I The congregations who have heard I these workers huve been unusually ! largo for the week nights and in view ! of the unsettled weather and their at ■ tention has been tense. They have j been greatly moved and a numb-r have accepted Christ and will appl) j fr. baptism at today's services. Good results have been achieved by l the extension work being done by this church in many places of busl ness. At the noon hour every day I meetings are being held among work ing men and women. On Mondays | noon meetings are held at the Slbl* > [ Mill; Tuesdays at Lombard Iron Works; Wednesdays at 11 o'clock ;ti Fire Department Headquarters, and I at 12:30 the same day at the Enter i prise Mill; Thursdays at the C. At 1 W. C. R. R. shops, and on Fridays at the Georgia R. R. shops. On Satur ; day afternoons street meetings arc held upon the down-town corners j where the largest crowds can lie 1 gathered. In these meetings an earn est Gospel message is delivered and a straightforward appeal made to the hearers to > iehl themselves to God. Splendid results ure accompanying these efforts. The program Is to be carried out through the present week and pos sibly during the general meeting which is to follow the simultaneous campaign now in progress. Aibury M. E. Church Having Interest ing Revival. Asbury church entered heartily into the simultaneous evangelistic services and is feeling the results of united effort. The meetings were opened by the pastor. Rev. A. D. Echols. At the beginning of the services the con gregations were good and have in Protestant Preachers and Workers of Churches Have Planned Fot a Great Prayer Service Today The Protestant preachers and the workers of the churches have planned for a great prayer service today. At a meeting following the noon day ser vice Thursday, they thought first of a great mass meeting for Sunday after noon when one of the visiting preach ers would have charge of the service. After deliberation it was thought best to have a great prayer service. It was moved and carried that the preachers in the churches today urge their people to engage In prayer at 5 o’clock this afternoon. The request is not that you should set yourself to pray an hour, but they do request that you go to your private room at 5 o’clock and pray for the simulta neous services now in progress in the city. Can you imagine anything more beautiful? Can you imagine anything calculated to so honor God? The Father and the mother, the son and the daughter, the friend and the stranger in your home, engaged in prayer at 5 o'clock for the salvation of the people Is enough to quicken all of us at the very thought. Man is by nature a creature of prayer. Even the flesh cried out for Him in the hours of grief and sorrow. Reach Every One. The pastors and the Christian workers are very eager that the meet Noonday Services at St. John Will Continue This Week The noon day services at St. John's Methodist church have not been attend ed by large crowds, but they have been of great help to those who have taken part in them. The music under the leadership of Mr. Kimsey has been very helpful, and those who have heard him feel that he has been a distinct bless ing to the services. Dr. M. Ashby Jones begun the meet ings Monday of last week. He spoke of the simultaneous services as being the expression of the united work of the churches at this time. Mis words on the Ixird's Prayer have frequently been referred to as setting the standard for the services. Dr. IXllard led the services Tuesday. His talk was an ex pression of Joy at the concord of the brotherhood. Dr. MacFerrln led the services Wednesday, and delighted those who heard him. Rev. O. P. Gilbert had charge of the meeting Thursday, and In State Sunday School Convention at Milledgeville on 14th and 15th The annual convention of the Geor gia Sunday School Association will meet in Milledgeville, April 14-18. Mr. D. W. Sims, secretary, has sent out a great deal of advertising matter, and many of the Sunday schools of the state will send delegates In response. More than thirty-five speakers will he heard at the convention, among them some of the ablest Christian workers in the country. The program is of special interest to Augustans, as It carries some of our most popular Sun day school workers. Among them are: Dr. J. R. Sevier, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church; Dr. W. B. Dil lard, pastor of St. James Methodist Church, and a number of laymen. Every white Sunday school in the state will have a right to send at least three delegates, and as many more as will go. All ministers of the Gospel and Sunday school superintendents are delegates by virtue of their of fice. In case you desire to go. nm your Sunday school has overlooked electing you, you may become a dele gate by registering at Milledgeville. There Is an enrollment fee of fifty cents. This Is made necessary as the committee will give you a year's sub scription to the Georgia Sunday School News, a copy of "Excell's Coronation Hymns,” an Illustrated souvenir pro gram, a note book with pencil and a souvenir badge. Seemingly enough for one's money But, above all, will be given you the best time of your life Delegates will be met at all trains by the entertainment committee and will he taken to the convention head quarters There they will be assigned homes, and will be entertained free of ail cost while attending the con vention. The work of the convention will be of an inspirational and educational THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. creased with each succeeding meet ing. Dr. Echols Is very much In favor of comircgHtinnn! singing. lie has never ho.I at Asbury anything but a chorus choir. The congregation has learned to sing, ami they are doing their last this week in the special service. Before the evangelist came several ministers assisted in the services and their sermons were all of an insplra ttonal nature, their purpose being the salvation of lost men. Tills was done, too, said Mr. Echols, without any con certed action on the part of those who conducted the meetings. The visiting minister, Mr. Deßarde leliett, is preaching sermons of great power, lie Isa young man having enter ed the ministry Just a few years agt. He is gaining the hearts of tlie peo ple of Asbury church ant there ia promise of great crowds before the meetings come to a close. Tills morning Mr. Deßardeleben will preach a special sermon to parents He has preached this sermon in oilier places and the results have been very gratifying. The pastor urges all pa rents to come to the service at this hour and help make this a great meeting. At 4 p. m. he will preach a special sermon to the children. As bury has a very large Sunday school Many of the pupils are children in the junior department, it is for these and others who may he interested that this service is arranged. The Sun day school teachers will he expected to bring their pupils to this meeting. At the night service the sermon 1j not announced, but it will be of an evangelistic message of groat rower, and the people are cordially invited to attend. The services will continue through the week at 4 and 8 p. m. ings now in progress shall reach every man in the city. They feel that this is a problem to be solved by prayer and activity, and personal work. And if they can get the Christian homes at the set time to prayer and have faith in God. they feel that the meetings this week will be a lasting good to the city. Remember the hour, 5 o’clock this afternoon. You are not asked to at tend your church to pray. You are asked to do what our fathers did. when great revivals came to the church and w’on the lost from lives of sin and shame. Their homes were aften homes of prayer and child-like faith. Make yours that today, and keep it up. You are not asked to spend the whole hou r unless you choose to do so. Of the time you devote to the prayer service you must be your own Judge. Many of the great men of the world have spent, much time on their knees, and it may he that this after noon will re-establish the altar of prayer in many families where it has not been known for years; it may be that it will establish the altar in many homes where it is a stranger. In either case give all the time you can to the service of prayer In your home, and you will never live to re gret it. troduced to the workers present the ministers helping in the meetings. The minister/! all made interesting talks, and expressed themselves as gratified with the united effort of the churches to reach Augusta. Dr. Howard T. Oreo led the services Friday, and made a deep impression on all who heard him. The meetings will likely continue all through the week. From day to day a different minister will conduct the ser vice. There will be no preaching, just the reading of the Scriptures end a short talk by the preacher responsible for tho SfS-vice. It is to be hoped that the crowds will Increase as they have not been large at any service. It is tho one hour when all tlje churches have an opportunity to show the harmony of tha brotherhood. The pastors are urged to make announcement in their churches today and request their people to at tend. Tito service begins promptly .at 12:30 and closes within sixty minutes. nature. There will be conferences for elementary, secondary and adult di vision workers, and for pastors, sup erintendents and teachers The ministers and Sunday school superintendents arc requested to at tend and uppolnt or elect delegates t' day. Mr. Ed Johnson, superintendent of Reid Memorial Sunday school, Is very eager for Augusta to have a full delegation. B; sure to elect delegates today. All railroads will give you a special rate. You are requested to ask your ticket agent for particulars. Augusta Sunday schools should send a very large delegation. A FASCHION'B ORIGIN.
