PLAIN GOSPEL AT
SPRING BRANCH
Old-Tiro* Goapel Stirs Folk* To

Pty
Spring Branch (Dunn, R. 1),
July 26.— The preaching of Town
send is not of the kind one usually
hears at summer revivals, like the
chatter of shallow water running
down a rocky hillside; but has more
of the roust less power of the deep
flowing river in h; reminding one
of Oinat's definition of the gospel,
which Is, “ The power of Cod unto
salvation to as many as believe.”
More real deep feeling, more evi
dence of the working of the Holy
Spirit in the hearts of the church
folks, bos been shown in the meet
ing so far than in any previous meet
ing during the twenty-five years that
tlus writer has known Spring
‘Branch. At times there have been
sentimentalists who stirred the sur
face more violently and created
more sensation for the time being,
men who told more gravorard sto
ries and who pictured " little Mary "
gone before and calling for mother,
or mother gone before and calling
for little Mary, as the case might
be, bat none have presented the goe
pe! more clearly or in a more con
vincing way to thinking people than
Bernard Townsend is presenting it
Chib work is taking a new lease
of life among the farm folks of

this week. He ha* liad the folks f
facing red-hot fart* at ever)' ser
vice. He handles sin as tenderly
and loviuglv as your |ut used to han
dle you when he would lake you
'round behind the barn to dust your
jacket With a hickory sprout. The
ordeal ia proving very painful to
some of its who thought wc were
pretty smart Christian* and had
jollied ourselves into believing that
<lod and other folks thought so too.
We are beginning to find that we’ve
been just fooling ourselves and no
body else.
At one service, after stating and
explaining the church covenant, he
called a session and jiut the ques
tion. "After hearing, etc., I move
that wc lower our church's standard
to tbc level of the daily lives of her
members! Second, those in favor,
stand.” Not one stood, out of a
membership of more than three huu •
dred Not one could say he, or she.

was not a disgrace to the organisa
ion when measured by the covenant.
When the question was reversed,
however, and ibe vote was taken,
it was found to be unanimous: say
ing, " We won’t lower the standard ;
we will, with Cod's help, raise our
level." Mow remember, folks, this
agreement was witnessed by ail tho
inhabitants of heaven, the visitor<
present at the service, and by every
stranger who read* this article, anil
will be remembered against you.
should vow at any time be seen
transgressing. That is why church
memltership is so dangerous to the
unregenerated. When you join you
pronjixe to keep the covenant. ’ If
von don't do it you are a liar, and
' all liars shall hare their part in
the lake that humeth with fire and
brimstone."
Come to the meeting and pray
for its success.
