Herbert Booth--Noted
Evangelist
. Rev. J. II. Earnhardt has clos
ed a date with Herbert Booth to
conduct a Tevival meeting in
High Point beginning about the
middle of April and continuing
for two weeks or more. Mr.
P.ooth is said to be one of the
most gifted and cllective preach
ers doine evangelistic work to
day, and is at present making a
tour of the United States holding
meetings which have been prov
ing unusually successiul. 11c is
a sane gospel preacher, full of cn
thusiasm. attractive in his pre
sontation of the message, strong
in appeal, fair in his methods,
ami can easilv command the re
spectful attention and sympathe
tic hearing of the entire com
munity.
High Point is fortunate in se
curing a man of Mr. Booth's abil
it v to lead a campaign of evan
l'clism. . He is tlte son nf General
Booth of the Sal?ili)ii Army and
was himself for many years as
sociated with his distinguished
father in that work. Sometime
ago however, upo,n the advice of
his friends and agreeable to his
own convictions, he severed his
connection with the salvation
army people to accept the larger
opportunity which conies to him
in the general lield of cvangelis
tic effort among tlie various tie
nominations. His record has de
monstrated the wisdom of this
step for everywhere he has gone
his meetings have been notable
for the numbers of people at
tracted to them by his preaching
and for the large ersults attend
ing his efforts.
The meeting here will be held
tinder the auspices of the Wash
ington Street Methodist church,
but all the denominations are
invited and urged to co-operate
for the general good of the cause.
Mr. Barnhardt presented the
matter at the last meeting of the
ministerial association and all the
pastors present expressed them
selves warmly as approving the
meeting and heartily agreed to
support it by every courtesy pos
sible to extend. The brotherly
and fraternal spirit existing here
among the several pastors and
congregations of the city is of
ten the subject of favorable com
ment, and it is desired by the pro
moters of this special meeting
that all may share in the results
which may be obtained.
Owing to the large numbers of
people who will desire to attend
the meetings it has been neces
sary to secure ' a large auditor
ium, and the official board of
Washington Street church has
leased the commodious Pickett
warehouse on Jordan street for
the occasion. This will be pro
vided with chairs and everything
possible will be done with a view
to the convenience and comfort
of all who attend.
It is of interest to note that
Mr. Booth has with him a helper
who leads the service of song.
This helper is a son of Gvdsv
Smith another famous evangelist
of the day. The exact day upon
which the meetine is to becin
will be announced later, as will
also other facts concerning local
preparation. V
