A BRILLIANT LECTURER. AddrfH.eM CoDgrcgHtloiiN »t Kir.t llaptl.t Chuirh In tlir M.-rnlng. at Cherokee Ave nue Itai-tiHt Church tu the Afternoon, and at Buford «treet M. K. Church In Kvenlng. Dr. B. VV. tSpilman of Nashville. Tenn., the talemed Sunday School secretary of ihe Southern Baptist Convention, cap'urid three large congregations in Gaffney on Sunday by his clear, pungent and soul-stir- ring addresses ou various uhasts of Sunday School woik The uaornirig service was held in the First Baptist church and the e joyment of the opening services was very much enhanced by the solo “Saved by (irac# so sweetly sung by Mrs. G G. Byers. Mr. Spilman introduct-d his ad dress by describing the Sunday School organiz-d by Mr Robert Raines of Gloucester. E gland, the pioneer of the modern Sunday School movement He set forth some ot the characteristics of Rilke's school. First, it was orgat-ized outside of the church, the churches at that lime being either hostile or indiffer ent to the teaching of the Bible. The text book used was the spelling book. Mr. Raik-s workied on the principle that ignorance Is the mother of vice. He meant' well but he had the wrong idea. Educate a criminal and you only make a stronger criminal. Education only helps you do better what you are go ing to do. Prevention not regenera tion was Raikes’ purpose and he failed in that. The Raikes movement developed in two ways. First, societies were or ganized to raise funds to pay secular teachers to teach the destitutes on Sunday. Later they secured govern ment appropriations and this was the first germ of the present English public school system. The second line of development was that people asked the question if teaching secu lar themes on Sunday is good, why not teach the Bible? And so Sun day Schools and day schools grad ually separated. At first the Sun day School programme was simply to read the scriptures and memorize verses. Later they found they needed more time for explanation, hence the method of today. In 1869 the In ternational Sunday School Conven tion appointed a lesson committee and since then these lessons have been almost universally used, and today through this committee’s work, the Bible is covered every six years and the world’s scholarship is within easy reach of all for a few cents per year. Dr. Spilman next discussed the Sunday School of today. First, the Sunday School of today is organized as a church service. Christ taught us to teach as well as preach. Now, if it is aduty to meet together inGod’s house for preaching, is it not our duty to meet together for teaching? Shall we not teach as well as preach? Why have you built these hadsome churches? It is your duty to Christ to obey his commaud and hold ser vices for teaching as well as preach ing. And, if this is true, every church member is as much under ob ligation to attend the teaching ser vices as the preaching eervices. Another characteristic of the Sun day School of today is that it seeks to reach everybody. In addition to the school proper they have home de partments and cradle departments through which many are brought un der the influence of the Gospel. Again the modern Sunday School uses the Bible as a text-book and be lieves in trained teachers. You will not have teachers in public schools unless trained, is not the teaching of the Bible as important? Lastly, the Sunday School of today seeks to save men. Here Mr. Spilman spoke very forcefully of the teacher's oppor tunity to sow the gospel seed, and make good citizens not only of this world but also of the world to come. He emphasized the honor, dignity and privilege of all Sunday School workers. They are the power behind the preacher and the evangelist in paving the way for the kingdom of God. The afternoon service aHbeld at the Cheroke^ Aveafie Bapt^Hburck. A large and jmpreoiative audience of Sunday School teachers and scholars heard Dr. Spillman's address. His theme was “How to study and pre pare next Sunday's Lesson." It Is Impossible to give even a fair idea of this address because of the failure of memory and space to record the pithy and pungent illustrations with which the points were so admirably enforced. He used the lesson on Elijah found in I. Kings 17:1-16 as a model les son, and brought out the following points: First:—Learn the facts. The facts stated in the lesson. Study the pas sage of scripture with a purpose to learn what God says in the passage. For if you do not know what God says in the lesson, how are you go ing to teach the lesson I Again, learn the facts about tne lesson. It’s location in the Bible Next learn the time and historic setting. Then study closely the Biblical setting and context of the lesson. Again, locate the geographical setting or scene of the lesson. And Anally become thoroughly acquainted with persons of the lesson and the location of the lessons in the life of the persons. In the second place learn the mean ing of thes*' facts Sometimes this meaning is fi.nnd in the words. See the word ‘ Elijah,’’ which means “My God is Jehovah,” I s thus an epitome of the life atid mission of Elijah Again the meaning is found in :tie suggestion or picture given by the words and phrases. Hee the phrase ‘before whom I stand,” which suggests the oriental subject standing before his being even ready to receive and ►xecute his orders. Third y:—Get ho'd of the teachings of the lesson. In this lesson we learn that God controls the rain—see Eli jah’s message to Ahah; that G"d di- r> cts His servants—see God’s com mand to Elijah; that God cares for His servants—see God’s provision for Elijah ; that God supplies our needs as thev occur—see the experiences of El’jah; and the lesson of prompt obeoiance. Fourthly :—Prepa-e a definite plan bv whi< h t fceacn the L -s n If you don’t you are in danger of spending so much time on less important points and so t ot have time for the more importan 1 ; again, you are in dang' r of being sidetracked on side- is-Uts; then again yo. are liable to hurry and come to a sudd-n stop long before time is out an 1 find your self in the awkward fix of having nothing to say. These and other points were force- fullv set forth and ap'ly illustrated in Dr. Spiiman’s address At best this is a meagre analysis and utterly fails to give a fair conception of bis splendid address. The address delivered by Dr. Spil man in the evening at the Buford St. Methodist church was in many re spects the most forcefnl of the series. It was inimitable, a speech peculiar to the mao, so full of his personality aud so dependent upon it that to try to report it would be to do the speech an injustice The people of Gaffney will long remember Dr. Spilman and his able addresses and will cordially welcome him should he ever return. Personally Dr. Bpilman is a most charming man. Rotund in figure, with a clean shaven face, good sup ply of humor, he captures and holds his hearers without effort. He is en gaged in a great work which will doubtless grow and prosper under his direction. Congressional Campaign Appointments.
