April 21, 1890, THE GOSPEL TENT MEETING Our Inst report closed with Dr. Carradine's lust day. His lust ser mon was his best. Text : Matthew 27-22: "What shall I do with Jesus, whioh is culled Christ ??> For ono hour and forty minutes ho held his large congregation, estimated at 1,500, in profound silence und atten tion as he portrayed the people of this day selling Jesus, then denying him, then surrendering him and lastly rejecting him, closing with pathetic appeals and reasons why tlie sinner should look to Jesus for pardon and lake Illili ns their keeper and friend. Bot ween 50 and 75 mourning ?umls crowded the altar and many found pence. It was un impressive scene. Dr. Carrndine then made ix short parting address, the song, "The old time religion," was sung and a gener al handshaking followed, at the close of which tho parting hymn, "God be with.you," etc, was sung and Dr. Carradine's engagement closed, but tho meeting did not. At the earnest solicitation of seek ers and friends thc announcement was made that Hoy. Rufus Ford, of thc Baptist.church, (ti man full of the Holy Ghost, full of faith and the fruits of that faith that works by love) would luke charge and con tinue the meeting, which, praise the Lord, he did, preaching Thursday morning from the words, "Work out your own salvation," cte., and at night from the words, "Thc Gos pel of God." Rev. J. A. Williams took charge of the music and Miss Lillie Perry presided at the organ. There was no service Friday morn ing, but at night the tent was com fortably crowded to hear another ? message. The text selected wore | the words of Jesus to his disciples, "How is it you do not understand?" I The words of thc text Saturday night were taken from 1st Kings ?8, 21, "How long halt ye between I two opinions ?" There were three services Sun day-preaching ntolcveit, prayer and praise meeting in tho afternoon and' preaching at night. The subject Sunday morning was "Thc meaning of the word Christian, and how those i called by this name should live to' keep down the reproach and sneers! ol' tho world." The Subject Sunday night was "Departing from Jesus," wisely se lected as ti close for one of thc great est revival meetings ever held in our county, and the attendance to tho last .service showed that our people have been stirred as never before on the subject of christian living. Oh, how earnestly and faith fully tho man of God pointed out thc dangers und trials of the new converts, as well as those who har fallen away, but had started afresh for thc better land. At the close of thc service, a num ber came forward for church mom bcrship, after which a special prayer and praise service was announced for Tuesday night at the Methodist church. Tho parting hymn, "Meei mo there," was sung and a genera) handshaking olofcd tho meeting with the benediction by Rev. J. L. Stokes. The good done by Ibis mooth);: eternity alone will tell. The nuin ! ber of conversions, reclaimed ara I j sanctified<woro throe hundred ami over. The most of whom live ii thc county and will be added to th country churches.
