Never before in the history of An derson, and probably never again in the future, will there be so. much in terest shown in an evangelistic meet ing, as was demonstrated last night in the McLendon service. The larg est number of people thaj bas ever ? assembled In this city to hear an evan gelist was present and several people estimated the crowd at something like 7,000. The t?nt was packed and all tho available space around the tent was filled with people standing, the mass reaching back to McDuffie street os thc eastern side and to Main street on the' west and all the ground ou each aldo of the big tent was also taken. .Members of several of the Woodmen. camps of the elty wera in attendance in a body about 1,000 in tire linc ot march. The mayoi* and tho city aid* ermen and other city officials were also t?tere in a body, aa were tbe bathers of Anijorson and men ot other trsdes. It was indeed e pret ty scene to see all of these men march into thc tent and take their seats at the beginning of the services. The evangelist preached oue of the beat sermons yet delivered and clos ed wlUi a mighty appeal to the peo ple tu give tnelr hearts to Qed and lead better lives. No sooner had the invitation been given than men and women rushed to the front to shake the evaagetists's hand. In a few mir ?tes the bearers of the differer'. Woodmen camps' banners stepped out and marched to the front and they were followed by many of their fel low members. In tho^nldst of this, tho city officials, led by the mayor marched down from their seats on the rostrum and grasped Rev. McLendon's hand. All during this time others were doing likewise and at the end ot the meeting lt was announced tbat 577 people had made a profession ot faith. The people were so interested last night that they did not leave before the service was over, as som have been doing in the past, but stayeu unUl the last moment. Many young men were seen to march from the outer edges ot the vast crowd on down the aisle? to tb front. Tho evangelist stated last night that he had never before seen such a meeting and tbst ho was proud or the people or the city ot Anderson and1 the stand they wera taking tor re ligion. In his invitation he called on tba people from Belton, Pelser, Williamston and other nearby towns and he mada no mistake tor people from all over Anderson county were | seen in the audience last night. "I nave several texts tonight and the text is the best part of the ser mon. If a sermon is .bettor than the tb? text lt ia not much good. You w;?i find the first text in Proverbe. | 'The fear of maa brlngoth a anare.' And it ia bringing a snare that ia { leading men down to hell. Now i; makes no.difference how much of an agnostic you may be, you may not -believe another verse tn the Bible. Vbut you are compelled to come across and acknowledge that thia veras ' is j true. Every man under the soded of my voice, I do not caro how much o:* K an atheist ho may be, knowe that tho ?fear of man bringeth a snare. There) is pe/vdo right here in Anderson who have been ruined because-of their crawling, grovelling, grouchy, neu tralizing, caddish, compromising, ser-: ?sentlne dispositions. How many es we see men rained because they did not ha^o the manhood and tbs backbone nor the moral stamina to. look the gang In tbs face and let them 3 know that they had enlisted on tba Bright aide. You sea Clod's word ful filled every day if you wilt only taie tho pains to look a iou nd you. How j teeny a ghi has come to the city from the country .an Innocent guileless, j ?pira, virtuous upright girl, but loving ? pleasure, she seeks pleasure where a poor girl :? likely to seek it, in tbe theatre or at the dance? But One Sight she returns from tho theatre' or the dance with a young, man who fciH been kind to her anti tn whom aha baa become Interested. Ho make? advances that the modesty ot the girl resent*. Soe colors up, abe is indig nant and he laughs at ber and says, do not understand, w?at ts ail. e laughs at the gtrl and she p?r what at first she resented. And ls not long before be goei a little further; probably she ie Indtgsant again but be laughs at ber and laughs lier out et tur Puritanical scruple? ar?, he calles thom. They he goes fer* thor and no doubt tonight that girl ls in the ft sterlng spot ot some great city. on. outcast.hi society and d*yeW' trodden, living a miserable, wretched lite. Why? Because the fear of man, the fear of someone's ridicule bas brought a ?bare, that bas ru?.neu that girl for time and probably for ?terni- ,, ty. j" "Obi bow many boys have been [j raised to the habits of temperance ;, and total abstinence, but they have Jj allowed some whiskey soaked crowd , to laugh them toto their first drink j and because they did not have tho I. mauhood to resist and the grit io say j? ? f??y ore *o5ey old bloated: faced, I ? red nosed, ruthed penniless drunk- \ ards, muttering and stuttering down t 'festation Meeting amusement and after awhile someone bas said let's put up a penny anti to 'end amusement to the game "and fo: fear of Offending his* companions and associates, he has consented and the gambliag lust has been aroused in tilni. which is a harder passion to overcome than any other that I know and tonight he is a poor hard hearted, debased, cold blooded, parasite on the road to hell, good for nothing ex cept to hang up for a danger slgnui to warn the-future generations. "My text ls found in John 12th chapter, 'Nevertheless among tho chief rulers many believed.on Him, but be cause of the Pharisees, they did not : confess Him, lest they should bo put out of the synagogue for? they loved the praise of men more than Hwy did the nralso of Cod.' "Now that iras written about Jeru salem in Christ's time but it oouuds Just as if it v/as written about somo people in this community In our time. A few years ago there was a lumber jack up in - Northern Michigan, woo went up Into the woods of Canada to work during tho winter. He bad re cently been converted and some bf bis friends said: 'Look out Jiu., that ia a tough bunch j' there and'if you do not watch you v til have a hard time to live your religion.' He assured them that he would stand four square for decency and righteousness. Well, when the tumor season was over and he had returned to Iiis old home, his friends asked him how he had got along and he said, 'Tba finest kind.' Why. with those lumber JacLd, X ti-'jught you would,have a hard time to ilv? your .religion.' He said, *No, I didn't say anything.about lt.' That is tho reason some of you fellows have such smooth sailing, if is because you haven't .the manhood to. confess Christ openly and above board. "Now turu to my text book. You will find that In Second Corinthians, 12th chapter. You will find quite a different proposition here. In the two texts wo have "JUDI read we havo the picture of a weak kneed, ! twigged, jelly fished, molly coddle, soft headed, flabby cheeked, thin skinned, pliable, plastic, spineless, sissified, moral cowrd. But now we get to the picture of the man who ls on the square with God and fears nothing but sin. Therefore 1 . lako pleasure In Infamies, reproaches, necessities, pers?cutions, distresses for Christ's sake.' Now here waa .a man that was reproached for the name ?t Qod, persecuted because he stood four square for truth, but al* though they heaped-'' sui kinds of in famy on bim, h? looked up vrth a coining face and said, 'I take pleas ure tn Infamy, In reproaches and per secutions. Oh, I'll tel] you fellows, lt tates grit to live .Tor Jesus Christ. It take? courage of tho subltaJ?at kind. ThSt is tho r?aSon that these fellows with' a cotton string for a backbone, with two or three ribs tied to lt. does not make ,'jgood in this army. I'll tell you What we want today, we want fighting Cftr&thiaa and not Christians '.shivering with ague; Mon vho are not afraid to get up and' fight for the'.Lord. "Now I am going to grre a few rea sons* why every man should confess Christ before the world. First, there is nothing to bo ashamed of in Jesus Christ. A little boy on one occasion had boen converted and be stood up und offered ? little testimony. He stuttered and stammered, and made a miserable' failure because he bad not been used to giving public testi mony. About this timo an old sanc timonious deacon stood up and milk ed bis long .white whiskers and he saht? 'Why hoy ff 1 were yon I would be ashamed for myself,' and the little fellow with his knees beating togeth er like a telegraph instrument, said, Well, mister, I am ashamed of my Mtlf hut I am not ashamed' of Jesus Christ.' Now tho trouble with some at you people ia that' yon are not ashamed of yourselves although you aught to be ashamed to r^oet a bow legged, box mouthed, bob tailed, glaser eyed, snaggle toqthed, brindle bull abg> .Sut yon are ashamed of the Lord Jesus Christ. Here the evangelist gave a very vivid illustration of a Jt;wfss who worked for Marshall Field in the ctly ot Chicago.,- Then tho evangelist went on to any that every mau ought to confess Christ for the sake of bia Influence. "Every man has an influence, there is no man in Anderson who has no Influence and it you haven't s moral monstrosity and that Influ ence is either b*ing exerteo for or Against Jesus Christ. Oh, if some or rou men and women c-f Andersen oc cupying prominent places and posi tions, would-take your stand -whero rou o'-.gbt to take it tonight, on the hide of truth and rlghteousrwisn and decency, scores of others .would 'come to Christ. Men wo cannot get Along without Christianity. You hat**? it. ? know lt, wc all know lt, and yet a. lot it you mean low down, louse ridden, ?mg eyed, hypocritical, four fluavpg, butter milk faced, back bKlng, dir<\ , contemptible agents of thc devi* wafters and non-believers ant! .?;, nt religion.
