The revival meetimg which ias been in progress for the last wo weeks, conducted by the pastor of the Methodist Church, issisted by Rev. D. H. Comann, Evangelist of N. C. came to a lose last Friday night, and has een pronounced by many the reatest meeting our town has ver known. The services at night were eld in the School Auditorium, eing larger than any church in >wn; but even then the crowds ouldn't be accomodated, and undreds were turned away. Mr. Comann, who did all the reaching is certainly one of the trongest bible preachers that as ever visited our town, and riis forceful sermons will bear ruit that will be permanent nd abiding. His interpretation of the scrip aure is forceful and logical, and l his sermons contained some ew thought, and a deeper and -cher interpretation of the sub ject in hand. His great ser -lions on"The Personality and ignity of the Devil," "Our uture Home," "Sanctifica on," and the "Second Coming f Christ," were master pieces of :ought and power that has re >nstructed the old theology of any of us. All who heard this great teach e of God's Holy word, are anx ~us to hear him again, and be ore he left our town many -of e citizens, through the pastor ~xtended him an invitation to >me back to Pickens in the near ature to hold another meeting but could not promise to do so. Mr. Comann is intirely free ronm the extreme methods and easures that characterize any of the modern evange ists, but is a broad, liberal, olarly preacher of righteous Christians have been estab lshed and strengthened; the 3trongholds of sin have been baken, and many have been urned from sin to righteous ness. Mr. Comann left Saturday orning for Branchville, where ie began another meeting Sun lay. The confidence and good will of every man, woman and child of Pickens will follow him. About twenty persons joined the churches during the meet ing, and, we trust, there are any others to follow. Sunday School Convention.
