DO YOU EVER DO IT?
Do you ever visit a new member? Do you ever
call on a prospect for church membership? Do you
ever visit the sick? Do you ever give an invitation
to the friends you meet on the streets to attend
church, school and the preaching? Do you ever say
a word of appreciation to those who sing? Do you
make it a rule to greet strangers and visitors when
you come to church? Do you ever pray for your
preacher? Do you ever thank the man or woman
who tells the word of God to your boy or girl? Do
you ever consider that promoting the church is part
of your daily business?
Go to Sunday school and church next Sunday.
What did Sunday Bring? Did you
listen to the worth-while?
HOLDING REVIVAL IN SWAN QUARTER
BAPTIST CHURCH
Beginning Sept. 29, for Two Weeks—Large
Attendance Is Expected
Rev. John C. Cowell will hold night and day serv
ices. We hope to begin the night services at 7:30.
Day services will be announced.
Evangelist Cowell is only 28 years of age and
has been devoting the past six years to revivals.
During that time he has conducted or assisted in
forty or more revivals, most of them in North
Carolina.
For nearly all of the past two years he has been
actively engaged in young people’s work and was
general advance man for the Ham-Ramsey party,
with whom he assisted in meetings at Fayetteville,
Sumter, S. C.; Decatur, Ala.,; Elizabeth City, Cur
lington and Danville, Va.
We expect large crowds to attend.
HOW TO MAKE THE REVIVAL A SUCCESS
Be a prayerful Christian.
Always be on time.
Ask God to help you sing.
Make it a point to attend every meeting.
Do not quench the spirit.
Be ready to obey at God’s call.
When you come, look as though you enjoyed the
religion you profess.
Shake hands as though it were not a dead fish
tail, but as if it were a pleasure.
Always be prompt when others are slow in testi
lying.
Watch for those who raise a hand and are con
vinced and follow them up and lead them to Christ.
Make it a point to invite your friends to attend
the meeting and accept Christ.
If you are a Christian, come and bring your un
saved friends.
If you are not a Christian, come and receive a
blessing.
We expect people from all over Hyde county to
attend this meeting.
Bring your attention, sympathies, your smiles
and your friends.
Come praying, working, with faith and a large ex
pectation and God will fill it.
