DR. SPILMAN IN
GAFFNEY SUNDAY
Delivers Three Soul-Stirring
Addresses.
A BRILLIANT LECTURER.

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.
