Good Sermon at Baptist Church.
Rev. H. P. Brinson who arrived
Friday from Now Orleans and At
lanta, preached at both services at
the Baptist church Sunday. At the
morning service he pave a short talk
on the work of the Convention and
then preached one of his very best
sermons on the subject: "Jesus Calls
Us O'er the Tumult." He pictured
the unrest of the present day in the
commercial world showing that all
were going in a mad rush with no
time for the higher and better things
of life, but above the tumult of the
commercial life Jesus is calling the
people into a larger service. Then
turning to the political world he
showed how the whole world is rent
in the strifes which war has brought
about, and yet through it all and
above it all, the call comes from the
Christ. Next the preacher gave a
most graphic description of the big
fire in Atlanta last week. A fine les
son was drawn from the scene and
his hearers saw how the Saviour was
continually calling on those who pro
fess to love him to come out of the
rush and the turmoil and the strife
into the clear skies above it all and
enjoy the blessings prepared for
them.
A feature of the morning service
was the beautiful 'song by one of our
own boys, Mr. Horace Easom, who
has just returned from Wake For
est College.
At the evening service the minis
ter delivered another good sermon on
the subject: "The Loss of A Soul."
Your Automobile on Sunday.
Does your automobile take you to
church on Sunday, or does it take
you on a long trip where you have
no opportunity to take part in any
religious services? Every person
owes it to himself, to his neighbors
and to his Maker to attend divine ser
vice on Sundays and it is to be feared
that automobiles are keeping many
people away from church and away
from where duty would call them.
