‘ Revival at Kerr Street Baptist Church.
> The revival at Kerr Street Baptist
Church started off in tine shape with
a large congregation. The singing was
' enjoyed by all as it carried one back to
’ childhood. The singing was spiritual
and uplifting; Air. Clark knows how
to sing and how tto get other to sing.
With Miss Afinnie Allman at the organ
, it seems that God is in the very at
mosphere. The sermon was interesting
from beginning to end. “ The preacher
I spoke of the downward steps of Peter.
■He said in part, Peter did not fall
, suddenly, but went down step by step.
People do not climb at bounds and leaps
but climb step by step until they have
reached the top. God could have made
; the world in one day just as easy as
1 taking six but. that was not best so God
‘ did the best. All great institutions
I have been build little by little, precept
upon precept, line upon line, here a lit
; tie aud there a little. The first step
, Peter made downward was when he be
gan to quarrel with the brethren about
who should be the greatest. YY'heu a
Christian begins to find fault in the
I church be or she is then making their
; first downward step. The second step
was made when Peter began to boast
about his strength. He told the Lord
that lie would go to prison and to death
. with him. The third step was made
when he went to sleep. How many
Christians have we today who are just
as much asleep as Peter was Then the
fourth step was made when l’c-ter fol
■ lowed his Ixird to Jerusalem afar off.
He was following but was too far away.
We have many today who are following
’ at a great distance. The fifth was when
Peter-sat down iu the devil’s crowd and
by devil’s fire. YY’hcn Christians be
gin to associate with the devil’s crowd
and go to the devil’s places of amusement
they are then in a good way to deny
their Lord. The last step** was when
lie began to curst* and swear and denied
; his Lord.
