There was a large congregation to greet the preacher again Monday night considering that it was Monday night. The Spirit was there and the service was inspiring. The preacher used for his text Genesis 15:12. “Abfam dwelt in the Land of Canaan nns( Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent toward Sodom." The preacher said in part : We have here two Bible characters, lie whom God blessed and one who lost all he had and barely escaped with his life. First. Abraham left all lie had. even his own people to obey God. But God blessed him. And we today have to leave our loved ones in sin and pull out that we may lead fhem. Jesus said, except we forsake father, mother, brother and sister for Him, we are not worthy to he his disciple. Second, Abraham was more interest ed in obeying God than in the perisha ble things of the world. Third. Lot was a very good kind of a fellow, hut he pitched his tent in the wrong direction, .toward Sodom, and then Lot was selfish. Fourth, the righteous will prosper, hut the wicked will perish. At the conclusion of the service three souls were saved. Service tonight at 7:50. You are welcome. PASTOR. The service Tuesday night was even better than any service yet. The West ford choir from the Ilartsell Mill, was present and' did some line singing, which was enjoyed by all present. The preacher spoke on the call of God from Proverbs 1 :24-25-20, “because I 'have called and ye refused. I have stretched out my hand and no man re garded. But ye have set at naught all my counsel and would none of my re proof. I will also laugh at your ca lamity, I will mock when fear com eth.” The preacher said in part: God has been calling men ever since ,Adam sinned and God called him with a call of love and said, “Adam, where art thou?” He calls men in various ways. First, by nature. As we look at all the handiwork of God. we can see in the very nature of the earth the call of God. Second, God calls man by 11 is word. There is not a home hardly hut where you can find God's word. God calls men through his ser vants. the prophets and ministers. I would be glad if you would lose sight of the preacher and only see God and hear His call. Fourth. God calls by the Holy Spirit; and He lias been call ing in these services. listen, the call gets fainter and fainter. Fifth. God also calls by Providence. The storms come for a purpose. The floods come for a purpose. The awful ca lamities come for a purpose. Death sometimes is God calling through Prov idence. We had a fine service. Souls were saved. Service tonight at 7 :30. Come. Miss Minnie Allman, from Kannapolis, has come to assist in the music and singing. She is a great help in revival meetings. You will miss a treat if you stay away.
