NORTH MAIN STREET
At the Tent Meeting.
Since the last report there have
been forty-five who have confessed
Christ at the tent meeting. Saturday
night a large audience greeted the
evangelist and he preached an earnest
sermon on the “Prodigal Son,” and
made a call for pdople to come back
to the Father and thirteen responded
and came forward.
Yesterday morning his subject was
“The. Highway to Heaven.” This
&as pronounced by all present as the
best sermon Evangelist Crimm has
preached. The congregation was
greatly moved and at the close
the services ten came forward and
confessed Christ. At the afternoon
service the subject, “How to Be
Saved,” was discussed. Among the
things necessary he said Christians
need to train, train, train. . We train
our horses, our dogs, our cows and
everything .we hava> except our-
selves and our children for God and
His service.
We must cut loose from sin and
sinful associates if we would live
for God and-the right. No one who
claims to be converted can win
era to Christ if he continue
A card-playing, dancing, theatre-go-
ing, cussing, drinking church man
never does anything as a soul-win
ner. Mr. Crimm Bald he would give
$1,000 to see such a sight. There
ar% none. There were seven who
confessed Christ at the close of this
service.
Last night at the tent the largest
congregation that has yet attended
the meeting was present. The sing-
ing was inspiring and the grqat
throng joined in the singing most
heartily. He pled with the people to
prepare to meet God. He showed |
that this was the-most important
thing a man pan do. In fact it was
what man was placed in the world to,
do. There is something in our breast
that tells us we shall one day tome
before the great God of all the world.
Certainly at death you know you
•ust meet Him. Men tremble when
they face death if they are sane. He
reasoned for forty-five minutes with
the lost to acdfcpt Chrifi.* Because
of what Heaven is and who are
there and wh6 will be there every
good citizen wants to go there.
t He told the story of'the Alamo in
« way that thrilled-Ahe great congre-
gation. « The sermon was interspersed
with appropriate incideAts and illus-
trations which greatly impressed the
audience with* the importance of
irtaking preparation to meet God in
peaoe and this can only be done by
repenting of sin and exercising faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ.
/ At the close when the invitation
was extended there were fifteen who
respond^ to the call.
'There will be services tonight at
the tent at 8 p: m. Tomorrow will
ihet: last day and there will be
two se^ices, one at 8:30 p. m. in the
chute h Mid the other at 8 p. m. at
the tent. Don’t miss either of these
sendees. You cannot afford to.
Come by all means.
