The wav4 of God’s reviving power has just swept overtlie dear Christians at old Wa tery Branch, WayiieCo., N. C. The weather was so much against us. There were only two or three days in which we could work, the rest of the time it was either raining, snowdng or freezing. But thanks be to God who gav^ us the vietcry over sin. There were about 15 precious souls converted and veelaimed, five for baptism, and onepreacluT cast his lot with us. rie will be ot great service to the Lord’s flock. We say to him: “Study to show thyself ap proved of God.” The church was so wonder fully revived, that the truth planted in Zion will last until Jesus comes. We were assist ed by Elder G. W. Havis. He is a hard w-orker for God and the people love Fdder George. We visited iiini a great deal during the meeting. We found his'deaf home-just idled with the love of (b)d bless-him and his de.ar family. Bro. Bagley was with us some in the meeting. He is a hard worker for the c.'iuse. The pastor. Hro. Tyson, was not with tl': but I am sure lie would have, had the- weather been so he could h.ive gone. We pray God’s blessings upon him with his noble work. Our home was at Bro. J. F Coley’s. Tfiey were j-ust as kind to us as we could ask for a people to be. We haveniany good ftiends at Watery Branch and in the surround- country. We are now at the writing of this article (March) in Goldsboro, waiting for the weather to open so we can work. All v.ho want to write me can aildre:is Goldsboro, N. C. Yours truly, W. II. F'kost. There were some things a- bout William E. efladstone as a worshiper, wan t y of com mendation and imitation. He concentrated all his great powers upon the sermon. He was interested because he was informed. He was informed because throughout li'e he had rnadeddigent use of his Sun days He declared in old age that he would not have lived so long had lie not always kept his Sundav.s- (piite apart from his political life. It was [jure refreshment to turn to holier thing* on that day. ft enabled him to learn mure of religious subjects than per- haj>s any other layman of our century. WhenSnndtiycomes everbody should attend ser vice, and while the sermon is beingdelivere-d htthe mind be fixed on what is^a^d, cvi-nif it is not first-cluss in every re spect. I'ALKING AT T.'.E TABLE. jiVjoH.XE. sh:>i.maki:i l iicre can be no question but what there is entirely ton much liglit. chaffy talk, and unbeeoniing and inconsistent conduct indulge 1 in at many )f our tiibles. F'or instance, the fatlu-i- thanks the- Lord for liie-. Iierilth and fo-id a' bis t ili'c and while pjirtaking of tile meal keeps up a con stant complaining of jjoor health, poor crops, too wet t)r too dry. too cold or too hot, as thougli they were on the point of starvation. This certainly has a strong tenden cy to create a feeling of mis- tr-jst in the chiki, as u ell as to implant a complaining d:s position within the tender offspring, perhaps never to be eradicated. Besides, sucli gross inconsistency makes a very unfavorable impression upon tlie nonprofessor who may chance tc) be present, ar. d only tends to drive tliem fur ther away from Christ, and his holy Word. Oh, may we all fully realiz - the fact that the Lord will hold us responsible for the manner in which we bring up our children, as w’ell as the exam ple we set before our uncon verted neiglibor, and let us remember that consistency is said lo be a j 'wel.
