There was a Pentecostal shower last night. Two were saved and three were reclaimed. T'm very Spirit of God was plainly seen all through the congregation. The congregational singing was just great and the choir sang in a great way. The Junior choir seems to get better each night. The quartet sang “Shouting In the Air, which seemed to inspire the en tire congregation. Mr. Fry was at Ins best. He preached a fine sermon' aud the Power of God wns in it. If you haven t heard him you are miss ing some real Heaven-sent messages Mr Fry took for a text Wednesday night .Tohn(i>:7 “Sir, I have no man to put me' into the pool but while I am coming another steps down before me.” He used for a subject “The Hindering'Step.” He said in part: Here' was an opportunity for Jesus to help a poor man that could not help himßeif. Those of you wlu, are familiar with the Bible are doubtless* famil ar with this incident. This man was at the pool where people went on certain seasons to he healed. This nmn had been crippled for 38 years He was not able to get into the pool without assistance, and someone would always get in his way and hinder him from getting in the pool when the angel troubled the waters. There are thousands of opportunities today, and people are being hindered today from getting into the pool of God’s love and grace. Oh, How dangerous it is, my friends, to hinder one of God's little children in his or her Heavenly journey; or to hinder a poor lost sinner from being savefl. But I believe some oue has hindered many of onr boys and girls from giving their hearts to Chr ! st. Listen/ friends. This town would be swept into the kingdom of God tonight if God’s people would get on the job for God’ and go after the lost souls. First. We learn here that God uses human instrumentality to save souls. What the Church needs to do is to get busy seeking to lead lost souls to Christ. It is said of the ear ly Church, that they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Ohrst. Jes us said to,go out into the highways and compel them to come- in. Jesus GHri!*3*ad Rave the biggest liar in Concord; Jesus Christ can save the biggest drunkard in Concord, and the most dishonest man in Concord. God hates sin but God loves the sinner. Second. This man wanted to be saved.' He was anxious to be healed, and he wns just waituig and longing to get into the pool. He was tired of his afflictions. For 38 years ho had carried them as a burden. Listen! Ev ery fdnpor away down in his heart of hearts somewhere wants to be sav ed. He is looking to be saved some time. Third. But this man was helpless. He xtould not get into the pool by hipiself. He needed help, and he wanted help, and he gladly accepted help. Every sinner needs help. There has never been a man saved without the help of someone, iu activity or in prayer. This is God's plan. He sav ed one that He help to save another. Will you help somebody today, look all around you: find someone in need; help somebody today. Service tonight at 7:30. Come and help us win souls to Christ.
