Bathing Suits :-: Water Wings : Tennis Shoes : : NT'S BOOK STORE BEING PREACHED M'LENDON REVIVAL BEGAN WITH LARGE CONGRE GATION DRAWS ATTENTION Sermon On Sunday Morning was On "What Hinders Frayer" It was Splendid. Rev. Baxter V. McLendon's Hermon ta Ht. Jolla's Methodist church la> t nlKlit wan on the subject of "Per sonal Work." The church was fill.-il to overflowing and the congregation tdiowed much interest. A splendid choir has been organized and the slug ing adds much to tile services. One of the first thing:! the evangel ist Bald last night was that he was going to have u revival in Anderson in spite of the devil und everything else. His sermon was from Proverbs 11:30, "lie that win net h souls ls wise." Mr. McLendon suhl: "if you walk down thc streets of Anderson and ask the men you meet, .Who la the wise man?' a great va rlety of answers wuuhl be obtained. Tile lawyer, th? hankel', the mill man, farmer and tho politician might be asked and everyone would give a dil ferent answer, but when you turn away from mun with all these discord ant answers and look up to the face of (Jud arid say. 'Who ls the wise mun '.' comes thundering down from the world of light, 'He that wilmet li souls, in wise.' One reason that we should win souls is because Jesus (')irist bas communded UH to do it. Matthew .JS:r.?, 'Go ye Into all the world and make disciples of all nations.' That commandment was followed by every follower of Jesus Christ In every age of the church history. Every person thut claims to he a Christian and is nut winning men for Christ is dis obedient to the lx>rd. Jesus said. 'Yo are my friends, If ye do whatsoever I command you.' "This was the business of Jesus Christ himself; to seek and save the lost. There was Just one thing He lived for, one thing Ho suffered for. one tiling He died for, and that was io save the lost. "ls that you.- purpose? ls that ? what you live for? ls that the pas ! sion of your life .' If not, what right have you to pose yourself off on thia poor old world as a Christian? Jesus walked down the banks of tho Sea of Galilee and said: 'Come and follow me and I will make you great finan ciers,' no great politicians, no great business men, no, but I will make you fishers of men. and they said good bye pa. goodbye fishing smack, good bye old seaweed, goodbyy nets, we are going to preach the gospel. "The Lord in 1st Corinthians 1:26. 27, 28 the Instruments that he used: "1st. Not many wise men after the flesh. That means the fellow thal Hasn't much above his collar button. "2nd. The foolish things ot the world. That takes In the majority of you Anderson folks. "3rd. The weak things of the world, and here the evangelist impersonated Oavld and Goliath. He said that David returned from ! the 'fight wltb a giant's head aud four rounds of ammunition left over. Then ha told bow God had mightily used the base and despised things of the world. He asked the question. Why it was that God went ta tho town of Bennettsville and put bis band on a cold-blooded, vicious gambler and .ulbil him to preach the gospel? lt was because God's ways are not man's ways. He told the Christian people In the congregation that an awful re jponsibi'ity lies at their door and that Dod wou'd hold them responsible not only for what they did but also for what they did not do. He closed the sermon with the beau tiful world painting of bow tho right eous shall shine as the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness an the stars; forever and ever.

One of the lirsi things enumerated was the selfishness of the motive that lies back of the prayer; the next was veneered over and cov ered up and unconfessed "ins. The sermon showed how people have God under complete subordina tion to pleasure, family, politics, bus iness and other worldly interests. To illustrate the evangelist got down on the tloor to show how people had God down there, and then he stood up on a high chair and with his hand stretched up. showed that all these things were above God. STRONG ENDORSEMENT FROM BEMNETTSVILLE LETTER FROM MR. J. P. GIB SON PRAISES REV BAX TER F. M'LENDON. IS A SOUL WINNER Has Known Hun From Early Boyhood-Tells of His Life Before Conversion. lu reference to Kev. H?xter F. Me ldenden, who is conducting a series of meeting!) here, the following letter has been received, which ls self-ex planatory: Bennettsvllle. S. C. "Tho Intelligencer: "As my young friend, Rev. Baxter F. McLendon of this city, is now in Anderson conducting a serien of re ligious services, with your permission 1 will write a brief letter concerning him and his work. "Some of the people will not like some things McLendon says; they will criticize adversely, but I beg that Judgments he withheld until they have heard all of the evidence. "Baxter McLendon was born In Marlboro county. His parents, who are true, genuine godly people, liver near the city. His father ls real Scotch-Irish and one of the best men I ever knew. Baxter early in Hf felt that he should ?reach the gospel, but refused to yield and descended far into the depths of sta and the cess pools of Iniquity. He even kept and fought game chickens and bull dogs on unday. He ran a blind (open) tiger in Bennetsville, shot two or three men, was an expert poker player. "I was present and saw bis strug gle when under conviction, and saw him when he finally surrendered and accepted Christ as his Saviour. He at once turned his back on lils old comrades, their habits and evil asso ciations, but bas ever been their true friends and has helped many of them into the kiugdom. "I have known Mac since his early boyhood and have closely watched his career since bis conversion, and I de clare that lie bas been true, straight and loyal to man and God. He speaks the truth hf? has been divinely called tn preach to a lost world and he is arousing sinners, backsliders an'1 hypocrlts as no other evangelist in the South IK doing. "McLendon's labors ns an evange list aro being "blessed by God, and the results from bis preaching are great er perhaps than any Southern evan gelist. He Is the best paid evange list in the South today and he gives his money freely and liberally to the poor, needy and helpless. Before Mc Lendon leaves Andmon ho will have more friends than any man in your city. He is absolutely fearless and oblivious nt to all that people say and think ahou: him. He is endeavoring to save lost men and women and dig up slu in high and low places, calls a 'spade R spade' and trusta God. "The good people, all tho people in Bennettsvllle and Marlboro county, fully endorse McLendon, and I trust The Intelligencer will give its efforts to benefit the people of your city and community.
