Evangelist Stevens' Sermons Bring Marvelous Results.-TUundreds
Respond to Call.—Special Meetings Planned for '
This Week-end.
Clash for Baseball’s Premier Honors
B'ackville, Oct. 6.—The people of
Blflckville and oommuunity are wit-
aes’sinjf most marvakMis revival
After the several services held Sun
day, the concensus of opinion amongst
those who have been regularly attend-
: }g this series of meetings for two
vreeks past seemed to be_ that the re
sults of this .evangelistic campaign
vvo'ild be the most far-reaching and
■permanent of any meeting ever held
fn this vicinity/ One prominent citi
zen of Blackville said: “I,have been
:a many meetings in Blackville but
I have never in all my life witnessed
such sights and saw the power of
God so manifested as in the services
of last Sunday.” Another well-known
citizen said: “I have never been in
v.urh meetings.” And another said:
‘,T have never seen the Christians of
Blackville so stirred as they have
been during this meeting. ^ feel that
every real Christian has beerr" drawn
tnuch closer to Christ.”
Beginning with a large union ser
vice in the morning* and two great
mass pieetings in the afternoon, one
for the men at the tent, and the other
for the women at the Baptist church,
and then a great evangelistic service
at 'night, attended by a crowd that
filled the large tent to over-flowing,
with half as many people on the out
side, Blackville witnessed services
throughout the past Sunday such as
have not been known in her past hia-
tory. In the morning service after
the singing and preliminaries. Evan
gelist Stephens arose to speak, but
because of the great burden of respon
sibility that he felt for the church
people, he said that he did not feel
that he could deliver the sermon
chosen for that morning. Upon these
w rds a great stillness settled upon
the audience, and after some very
earnest and moving remarks, he call
ed for some of these who had received
u-reat blessings from thus meeting to
come forward to the front and tell the
others assembled of the wonderful
things that the Lord had done for
them. Quite a number responded
After they gave their testimony, tell
ing somewhat of their past failures,
fruitlessncss and powerlessness and
with tears -in their eyes and-broken
voices, of the great joy that had come
to them because of a full surrender
of themselves to the control of the
Holy Spirit, the Power of God fell
upon the meeting and when the even-
gelirt gave the invitation for those
to c^me forward who wanted to be
OUT AND OUT for God, delivered
^from the power of sin and filled with
r His Spirit, hundreds came forward,
many weeping and confessing their
great need, and others accepting
OhVist as their Saviour. .The meet
ing began at 10:30 but because of the
•'marvehus manifestation of the power
of God, it could not be closed before
one o’clock. Many said that • this
service eclipsed anything of the kind
that had ever been neld in Black
ville, and everyone feels that Black
ville will never he the same again be
cause of this service. In the after
noon, Mrs. Stephens,'wife of the evan
gelist, addressed in mass meeting the
.women at the Baptist church, speak
ing-from the subject of “Rivers of
Living Water.” She stated that any
professing Christian who allows him
self to be filled with the spirit, is
hound to have flowing out from his
Ijfte certain rivers, such as rivers of
prayer, of truth, and of liberality.
The service was greatly enjoyed by
all and when Mrs. Perkins, who as
sisted Mrs. Stephens, asked for those
who wished prayer to let it be knowft,
many hands were raised, and aome
came forward, making a full surren
der to Christ. At the mass meeting
of the men, held at the same hour In
the tent, Mr. Farrar conducted »
fine song service and the Williston
qiuutottte sang a special selection,
and then the Reverented Stephens
spoke on the subject: “The need of
great men fpr the present hour.” He
stated that the record in the M^ond
chapter of Genesis, regarding the
creation of man in God’s image and
after His owirlfceness is a record that
should be accepted and beBeved by
all, and NOT the statements put
forth in regard to creation by modern
ists. He asked the men /saemWed if
are anima’s and they agreed that they
are. Then said the evangelist, with
tremendous emphasis, “I do not be
lieve that Jesus Christ died for ani
mals and if man was evolved from
such creatures, then Jesu^ Christ’s
death cn trie cress was a farce,—but
thank God that whiTe man became a
fallen creature, even though made in
the image of the Creator, the blessed
Saviour has made it possible that by
man’s acceptance cf Christ and his
redemption on the cross and by the
inspired Word of God for man to be
come a new creature." Mr. Stephens
said that God was looking for men to
stand i>» the gaps devastated by the
devil, by sin, greed, graft, bootlegging
gambling, vice and crime of every
nature. He referred to John Huss,
Wickliffe, Martin Luther, John Knox,
and John Wesley, as great men in the
spiritual world, standing in the gap
for the salvation of humanity. Mr.
Stephens then told the touching story
of the marvelous conversion of Jimmy
Hook, who was ti drunkard for forty
years, but who was led to Christ thru
his ministry.
The night service was perhaps the
greatest service of the day, at which
time the crowd was immense, auto
mobiles being parked two and three
deep on the vacant lots and side
streets about the tent. First the
balance of the expenses of the cam
paign was pledged, which was donfe
quickly and cheerfully. After the
pledges had been taken, the evange
list launched at once into his address
on the subject: “Is there a hell?
Does God send anyone there? He
stated that as a people we had a
Place for everything. We have re
ceptacles for our garbage, hospitals
for our sick, and cemeteries for our
dead, and so it is_ that God has a
Heaven for the saint and a hell for
the sinner.. Th» evangelist said:
“I believe hell is too good for some
people. The man who will take the
dirty rotten booze and sell it far the
sake of a little giiin, knowing that
iFwill curse the man who drinks R
and blight the home into which it
goes, is the blackest kind of a sin
ner. Some men are living as tbaugh
there were not a God, but sooner tTffc’h
some .think they are going to meet
their God. An infidel out a motto up
in his home, reading, ‘God is nowhere.’
But his little girl in reading it trans
lated it to read ‘God is Now Here.’
And while thousands of people in
South Carolina and some in Black
ville are going around saying ‘God
is Nowhere.’ some day they will real
ize that ‘God is Now Here.’ ” The
evangelist closed his stirring address
with the telling of a mother’s an
guish for her daughter who had died
without God, the mother saying with
heartbreaking sobs as she looked for
the last time upon her daughter in
her casket these words: “Oh, Jennie,
goodbye, goodbye. I will never see
you again.” When the invitation was

New Orleans, Oct 4.—The cotton
market showed almost steady down
ward trend the past week owing to
liquidation of the state long interest
accumulated on the rally which suc
ceeded the first sharp slump follow
ing the last bureau report.
Prices have now declined to levels
actually below the figures^reached on
the day the government report was is
sued and reached new low ground for
the present downward movement at
something more than’two cents h
pound below the high points reached
late last month.
There have been brief periods when
the market rallied due to rather good
trade buying but this, did not do more
than cauuse a temporary halt, as the
decline was resumed during the clos
ing days of the week and Saturday’s
close at 22.13 for December was the
lowest figure reached on the present
decline which is likely to be added to
before the next government report due
October 8th is issued.
The main reasons for the decline
have been heavy movement of the
crop to market and growing belief in a
larger ultimate yield than the approxi
mately 14,000,000 bales indicated in
the last government report. Many
private reports so far issued repres
enting conditions oi* around October
1st estimated the yield In the neigh-
berhood of 14300,000 bales and some
of them predict a crop as high as
14,500,000 balsa. These coupled with
the big movement to merket and In
dications that total ginning* to Oc
tober let, will reach record propor
tions, some predicting as much as 7*-
000,000 bales; have croaled. on
impression among traders that Em
next government report will
the crop folly four hundred
and bales above the lest report.
About the only constructive statis
tical development during the week,
was the heavy total of exports reach
ing 427.486 bales.
Barnwell Home It
Destroyed by Fire
The cottage on Marlboro Avenue
occupied by Mr. Solomon Brawn and

o’clock Sunday night! When first

so rapidly that practically none of
the household furnishings was saved.
Mr. Brown’s loss is partially cover
ed by insurance and it is presumed
that Mrs. Graham also carried in*
surance. )
Mr. Gary Owens, who Jives on the
Bar rewelt* Allendale highway, within
a short distance of this, city, lost
several bales of seed cotton by fire
the same night. The blase was first

ered by insurance.
