GLOBIOUS MEETING,
Thousands Attended the Services and
Five Hundred or More Gave the
Hand of Repentance, Among Them
'a Number of .Distillers The Meet
ing Closed Monday.
The great revival meeting
held for a week under the large
tent at North Wilkesboro clos-?
ed Monday with the 10 o'clock
service. The evangelists Sam
Jones and George Stuart, who
have labored faithfully and ef
fectively during the week, left
on the two o'clock trsin, bear
ing'with them the benedictions
of a grateful people for their
faithful work among us.
. The services all the way
through were largely attended
and much interest was mani
fest from the beginning, and
with every service the interest
increased. Over three thous
and people attended the Sun
day services and there were
very few less present at the
Monday morning service, the
last of the series."
The preaching was good all
the way through and always
hit the nail straight ou the
head. Sam Jones used hisxwn
peculiar style, now particularly
rough, now persuasive,, tender
and eloquent,, now scathing
and cutting, now humble and
sympathetic. There is only
one Sam Jones and all imita
tors are frauds and failures.
Mr. Stuart who assisted in the
meeting is different from
Jones.- He preaches the bible
straight from the shoulder in a
plain simple though eloquent
manner and puts his illustra
tions so plain and clear that
the force of its application can
not be resisted. On Sunday
afternoon he preached his tem
perance sermon; which is the
finest, most practical and pa
pathetic discourse we ever
heard on that subject. Mr.
Jones preached the morning
and night sermons Sunday and
they were both grand. Sunday
night over two hundred repen
tant shiners gave their hands.
Monday morning was a great
feast of love and rejoicing.
Both Stuart and Jones made
talks. Mr. Jones' text was
"What wait I for? My trust is
in God."' At the close of his
remarks hundreds went for
ward and gave their hands,
among them distillers and
liquor dealers. Such a scene
is scarcely ever witnessed at
any time or in any country.
The spirit of heaven seemed
hovering pleadingly over all
and eyes, unused to tears were
wet and hardened hearts were
melted into the tenderness of
the hearts of babes. Hands
that had not touched for years
were clasped in friendship and
love again, and tongues-that
had spoken evil were turned to
words of forgiving and praises
to God: It was glorious to be
there. ,(.
The influences of ,such occa
sions can never, die. They
Work like the leavens
While the praise belongs to
heaven, God ; always works
through human agencies, and
while appreciating the efforts
of Jones and Stuart and their
effective faithful labors;- we
should not forget that thevno"
ble work of our, awnr faithful
ministers . for untiring- years
laid'thV foundation and made
ripe the; time for the glorious
meeting. Let 'us not " forget
them in their untiringjlabors;
Wilkes . will .be -better ; by
reason o A he- great Cmee t i n g

for, it. i r - -
