A great shower, not of rain,- but of the Holy. Chost, showered down Mpon this people during the meet ing of last week. It seemed- that old Trading Ford would shake and tremble under the sermons preach ed by one of the ablest preachers that we have listened to in a . long time. It seems that he was gifted with word and wisdom from on high, , and that he could quote passages and preach a sermon al most without ever, opening the Bible. He seems to be just a com mon every-day man, but he knows how to preach. This man is Rev. John A. So mey, of Davidson, who assisted Revj Bennett. He preach ed every sermon during the week, with the exception of one. He came down-the isle and through their sius Of this number Rev. Bennett baptised 23 Saturday and 21 joined Tradine Ford church. 6 joined Bethel church , and some wni join other chnrches. Our peo- pie thought that everybody around here were Christiana, "but during this, meeting almost everybody thought themselves a sinner. More or less the people became inter ested and such crowds gathered, the church could nof seat over half the people. The seats were filled wiihmen, womon and chil- - ' dren. L We shall not only speak well of the sermons, but also' of the music the choir did their best and they produced the sWeeteat melody of tone. - The weather is dry and hot, the crops are looking very bad, but the writer (hi uks this blessing would be superior to any earthly pleasure. Mav the people of Trading F.ord take home the truths which ther heard in this meeting and study them and we. will all be happy. A RUNAWAY. "Siemai UOIQ I8B1SS Street. SCWs H Stanpefle.
