CAREY WILL CLOSE
i '
Rev. L. B. Reavis Pastor, To
! Preach on To
Meet Thy God”
(Reported for the Dispatehj
An unusually large “congregation
was present last evening at Carey’s
! Chapel Baptist church. Tihe revival
•meeting, which has been in progress
for over a week, will be brought to a
close tonight, with the subject for to
i night’s service being, “Prepare to
. Meet Thy God.” Ther e will he serv
: ices this afternoon at 4, and the last
I service will be at 8 o’clock. It is
urged that everyone who possibly can
* do so will he present at these final
services.
; Last evening tne minister preached
on the subject. “Where Art Thou,”
and took his text from Genesis .3:9,
“and the Lord God called unto Adam,
and said unto him, Where Art Thou*
This is the first qquestion that God
| ever asked man, and it was asked in
.the Garden Os Eden. Adam had
(learned to lov e the voice of God and
he had longed for God to speak to
him, hut this time he feared His voice.
God asked Adam, “Where art thou
hiding?” and Adam had to step forth
. and show himself. • Why was he, hid
ing? It-; was because of siri. H# knew |
; that sin* was in his- heaft, and ‘.that it
was against God’s wishes. Sinners to
day try to hide from God’s presence
as Adam did. They are afraid of 1
God and want to fide from Him. God
stood there and said, “Come away
from thy hiding place.” Every indi
vidual has to do this. W e may sin.
but somo day God will come and ask,
“Where art thou?” and we will have
to step out and stand face to face
with God.
Why do people fail to read God’s
word? They do this because they ar e
afraid of God ,and don’t want to be
conscious of Him. They are afraid
of His very word and push it aside.
They are afraid of the very presence
•of God’s Word. Men fail to read* it
not because it is uninteresting, but
because they are afraid of His pres
ence. The Bible Ls a lamp under our
'feet; it is a guide for us as we go
out into the world. The reason that
some people don’t go to church is not
always because the preacher is dull
and uninteresting, and not always be
cause they don’t have clothes that are
suitable, bbut they are fleeing from
the presence of God.
How do we stand with God? Men
take an inventory of their business, so
why not take an inventory of your
soul. We go to th.e doctor and get
cur bodies checked over to see it <w*
health is good, but we fail to go to
God and see how our soul is getting
on and how we stand with God. Doc
tor your soul as well as your body.
Wlhere are you standing? How are we
going t 0 consider this great question
that God puts before us?. Consider it
wisely and honestly. If we are on
the road to Hell, why can’t we come
out and face' the facts as they are?
Why are you trying to fool somebody?
You will never succeed. Consider
this question thoughtfully and pray
erfully “What does God think about
you?” If we could only see ourselves
as other people see us, and as God
sees us we wuld be different. It does
not matter what people say about us
if we ar© pleasing God. What does
God* think of you? That is the
main thing,after all. Where are yoi
standing so far as God is concerned?
Wthat kind of a Christian are you?
Are you on the road to Heaven oi
Hell? You are not going both way.*
and you are not standing still. Yoi
I are a Christian or'you are on the road
to Hell. The question should he con
side red acriptually, “How are yor
standing with God?” Some day you
will step from your hiding pi oe and
I meet God race to fade. When the roll
I is called up jfouadei will answesj
to it? :* j
Where are you standing in the esti
mation of God? Ask God where y<> u
are standing. , Say .that you “don’t
know are standing, but you
Want to get, back to v God. .Let God
’come into your heart and give him a
chance in your life.
As the result of, last evening’s serv
ice there were seven conversions. It
is hoped that many more will be con
verted before the close of tonight’s
srevice. The song rendered by the
Tharrington children and the Currin
sisters during th|se have
been highly appreciated and greatly
enjoyed by all.

E. G. Finch Holds Outstand
ing Record As Insurance
Salesman Say Com
pany Official
v. R. E. Peteirs, an official of the
New York Life Insurance Company
pays high tribute to E. G. Finch, lo
cal agent of the company in a recent
bulletin entitled “Nyllc Men I Have
Known.”
In discussing the various agents
with whom he had worked at times,
Mr. Peters had the following to say
about Mr. Finch:
“One of the cleverest men I ever
worked with in the field, was a good
Nylic by the name of E. G. Finch of
Henderson, N. C. Mr. Finch was one
"of those fellows that we might de
signate as a ‘spurt writer.’ He had
always written his business somewhat
in that fashion and still does. He
would go along fog two or three
months writing* vtery little business
and then step out into a tremendous
drive for applications. During one of
the drives, which would usually last
about a month, he would write from
25 to 50 applications and I have known
of mor/hs when he would write more
than $300,000.
“The cleverness of his sales talk,
a3 I saw it and as he explained it
to me, was a well thought out plan in
which he would never say anything
to the prospect about life insurance,
the weather, business or anything else
■that the prospect could say ‘no’ to.
His philosophy was that if he could
keep his prospect on the affirmative
side of everything he said, he would
finally agre& to signing the applica
tion. He always tried to put the pros
•pect at ease and keep him off the
defensive by having him feel that only
at some future time did he hope to
sell him a policy.”
Mr. Peters goes into further detail
in demonstrating !Mr. Finch’s ability
to sell elite insurance and recommends
his procedure and methods to Other
agen,ts of his company as being of
great efid in assisting them t<j ..aelj£
their prospects, v
