The revival meeting at the First Baptist church has closed. Mr. Vines has preached his last sermon to the people of Gaffney for this time, and, as he pathetically said, he has preached to them for the last time in his life, perhaps. His messages have been delivered and his work com pleted so far as this revival is con cerned. And those messages were always messages of love and truth, lie impresses one with his faithful ness and earnestness. There is noth ing of the unseemly about him. He preaches a common sense doctrine, a ‘ Christ and Him crucified.” He does not endeavor to frighten people into accepting the Christian religion, but makes it plain that it is a matter to be settled between the individual and his creator. The forenoon service Sunday was weli attended and the large audience gave the most respectfnllattention to the eloquent and forceful preacher as he pointed them to the way of salvation in a masterly discourse. His subject was “Why should people grow spiritually.” Among other things the speaker said : ‘’It is a sad and lamentable fact that few people ever grow spiritually. Most Christians never grow. The truth is that a great majority of them dry up and dwindle away. This is not as it should be. Christians should grow and grow spiritually until in the end they would be grand er and better Christians than they ever were. If you were to ask me what was the grandest thing in art I might try to picture to you some grand statue made by a great sculp tor to commemorate the life of some great man or some historic event. If you were to ask me what was the grandest thing in literature I might try to picture to you some magnifi cent literary production of a noted author. But if you were to ask me what was the grandest thing in the world I would reply, a grand, noble man, made in the image of his God, who was sp'ritually developed. That is the grandest thing in the world, and God, with all his matchless pos sibilities, cannot make anything grander. If you were to ask me to picture to you the most beautiful thing in nature I might try to picture to you some beautiful flower that un folds its petals and sheds its sweet perfume upon the air. If you were to usK me to picture to you the most sublime thing in the world I could picture to you some silvery moun tain stream that gushes out of the mountain sido and courses on its winding way, gathering strength on its way and finally emptying into the mighty ocean. Bub if you were to ask me what was the most beautiful thing in the world I would say, a woman who had developed spiritually. God cannot and will not make any thing more beautiful than a good woman. I have no patience with that woman who thinks she was only made for men to look at. I have no patience with a woman that can’t sew, can’t cook, can’t do anything. The most despuablo thing in the world is a fashionable woman who can’t work or do anything to make the world happier or brighter or bet tor. On the other hand I have a perfect contempt for a dude. The happiest people in this world are those who work. The happiest home is one where father, toother and cliii- dren all work. I do not mean to say that it must necessarily be manuel labor. It may bo labor of brain or muscle, but everybody must do some kind of labor if they wish to be happy.” The evening service was the climax of the meeting and it was a fitting climax. Mr. Vines did not deliver a more able sermon during the meeting than the last one. Neither did he deliver one with more atfeet. He was at his best, and notwithstanding the extreme warm weather he held his audience until he hud fiinished and all seemed to regret the end. He chose as his subject ‘‘The open door ot uaivcUcp.” Mr. Vines likened salvation to a great depart., ment store. ‘‘You go into a great department store and on one floor you find so many things to engage your attention, and on the next door or department you hind so many other tilings to engage your atten tion, and so on {of iieyon, eight or ten floors. Kach door you enter reveals something new to you. It is just that way with religion. You enter the great door of salvation and yot* pro bewildered and amazed and I amused with thf* great work before you, but as you leave oty? of the work and enter another yoa learn more and more of the plan of salvation. do not believe in so much theology,” declared two speaker with emphasis. ”1 sometimes wish we could do uway with all our different church governments and all unite on ono common plan to preach Jesus and Him crucified. Of course I am a Baptist and I believe in the Baptist doctrine with all my peart. If I were a i’reubyterian or a Methodist I would believe in their doctrine with all my heart. I would not be apy account if 1 did not. No man is any account who does not believe in his own church. And yet, as 1 have said, 1 sometimes wish we had no different denominations. It is a glorious privilege to beion^ to the church ot the living God. All the great men of this day belong to some church. J read in u North Gurolina paper the oilier day tha’. the gov ernor-elect of that great state hud gone to the littia country church of his home and set d'>wn to the corn raunion table and >artook of the bread of life and drank of the cup. Did the gevernor-elect honor God by partaking of that communion? Cer tainly he did, but he was infinitely more honored by being permitted to sat down and partake of that com munion with the children of God, than lie honored God in so doing. William Jennings Bryan is a d^Vout Presbyterian. William McKinley is a dovout Methedist. Nearly every man that has achieved anything in this world has been a Christian. There is no mystery 7 about being a Christian. All you have to do is to accept the opportunity. Enter the open door of salvation.” At the conclusion of the sermon an invitation was extended to those who desired |to come forward and thus make it known that from this time on they intended to be Christians A number came forward, some of them little boys and girls, and all y.iung people This caused Mr. Vines to remark that most Christians were converted at an early age, ‘’and,” said he, “I will prove it.” He then asked the congregation to bo seated. Then he asktd all those who had been converted between the ages of ten and twenty to stand up. A large number stood up. Then he asked all those who had been con verted between the age of twenty and thirty to stand up. This time the number of those who stood was con siderable less than these who stood at the first invitation. Then lie asked those who had been converted between the age of thirty and forty to star’d. This time the number of those who stood was still less. Then he asked all those who had been con verted since they had attained forty years to stand. One lone woman stood and thus gave testimony to having been saved after she had reached forty. The door of the church was opened and a number joined. There have been between forty and fifty profes sions during the meeting. Thirteen have joined tiie Baptist church and there will be others. Some will join other churciies. Mr. Vines did not insist on anyone joining the Baptist church but ho said uli who had made u profession should join some church —the church of their choice. The meeting broke up amid the strains of ‘‘When Shftli We Meet Again,” and the congregation retired to their re spective homes all feeling that this man had not come to Gaffney in vain. No man that has been to GulTney in the past seven years has preached more able or eloquent sermons than Mr. Vines. He possesses a wonderful store of knowledge and the words flow from Ids lips without apparent effort. He is free from the many lit tle objections raised to the average evangelist. He does not act the buf foon in the pulpit. His illustrations have the happy faculty of illustrating. In fact he is so serious that ids audi ence did not know that he was in dulging in a pleasantry Sunday morning when he said at the close of his sermon that he had received an exceptionally warm reception here (referring to the warm weather) and he had to tell them that if they did not believe him to come out in the evening and witness him perspire, hut not to mistake pirspiraUon for inspiration. He bus been advised that if he should ever come to Gaffney again, and we hope he will, that he had better label his joki-s. Mr. Vines left yesterday on the vestibule for Ids homo in the moun tains. May his influence for good become as great and his intellect as towering us the grandest and loftiest peak of tiie Biue Ridge. Announcements.
