A Bdal Account ol Thalr Dac* triaaa ami NatMi al Warlu The following baa been banded to Thf Gazkttk for publication: The Christian Crusaders will conduct a series of undenomi national revival meetings in tbeir Goapel Tabernacle, at the • Loray Park beginning. Friday, Sept. 23, at 8 o’clock p. m. They extend a cordial invitation to Christiana of all denomina tion* and sinners of all grades and conditions to attend. No admission fee will be charged. All seats are free. Tbe Crnaaders have not come to organize and establish a new religious organisation, nor to antagonize any already or ganized, but to co-labor, if possible, with all Christian de nominations in an undenomi national effort to build op tbe church of Christ. Persona con verted in tlfeir meetings are in structed to connect themselves with the denomination of tbeir choice. The movement of this organization is purely evange listic. All of its efforts are ccnicreu in icvivai wwa. aw quicken spiritual interest in' the membership of the church and to stir them up to labor for the salvation of souls, to encouraae the pastors and to arouse the spiritual forces of the whole church; to seek the salvation pf sinners, both in the congrega tion and by visiting from house to house and also by holding open-air meetings, is the sole object of the movement. The methods used by the Cru saders in their work are in some ways peculiar, and because some churches are not ac customed to them, prejudiced individuals of these churches are sometimes inclined to ex press .themselves too hastily, and by doing so, Interfere • with the progress of the work. All this could be avoided if the churches unused to these methods would consider the fact that th« Crusaders adhere to no special law 'of methods. They realise that in some way they must secure the attention of sinners before they can be led to Christ. A W.mJ rkriafifltl rpnCMPM ia not • wanderiog independent or irresponsible company of Christian workers, bat every Crusader ia rigidly accountable to authoritv and discipline. During the stay of the Cru saders in Statesville, they had four hundred sad thirty pro fcasioas. The following are a a few expressions of Mrs. Wap boo, ia her article which ap peared in the Stat ravine Land mark, relative to-the work of the Christian Crusaders in Statesville. One of the principal features of the Christian Crusaders it to reach tha unchurched ■ asses. To do this they hold no elfott too great, ao labor too hard, and their succeed Is, or seems to be, fa proportion to their seal. Tbs result# of their labors in onr town have been almost phenom enal. Immense crowds have attended their meetings, people coming from a distance of twenty miles away. The sym pathy and prayers of all Christ iana in all our churches are with the us.” The Rev. Dr. Atkins of Salis bury says: "The Christian Crusaders seem to be imbued with only one purpose, and that the high and holy parpose of getting men and women saved from sin, aud in this work they are successful. No thoughtful person can. fail to see that their work here in oar town has re salted iu great good. It is to me a humiliating thought that much of the good done has been among a class all too much neglected by our churches. ” In expressing bis opinion con cerning the work of the Crnsa d e r s. Colonel Andrew J. Rodgers, writes; "In the course of my religions work it has been mv good fortone to meet and co labor with many Christian missionaries and evangelists in different parts of the world, but I have not found any more con secrated to the work of evange lising the maises than are the Christian Crusaders. They are evidently called ol .God to 'go out into highways and hedges kllVUi IV WUIC ID, that my house may be full.'" For ten consecutive weeks, the Christian Crnsaders labored at Mooresyille, and their labors resulted in the conversion of seven hundred sixty-five persons. In reference to the work done at Mooreaville, Rev. T.J. Rog ers writes: "The Christian Crusaders have labored faithful ly in our town for the past ten weeks. It has been my pleasure to be with them in public and rrivate. 1 find them to be faith* u I , consistent, consecrated workers in the vineyard of the Lord. Their stay in our midst has been a great benefit and blessing to the town and coun try. ■ Their efforts have been greatly blessed of God. More than seven hundred and fifty souls have been converted. I heartily endorse their doctrines and the methods and means used to save souls.’ May God continue to bless them in their labor of love " Uonng the stay ol the Crusa ders in Hickory, three hundred and thirty-seven professed con version, among which number were some prominent people of the town. Rev. W. P. Womble, of Newton, from where the Cru saders have just come, writes: "Dear brother Light,—I want to assure yon that your work has been a blessing to Newton, and also to say tbst after attending your meetings for seven weeke, and noticing, carefully, your work nod the spirit in which it la done, I am satiated, beyond a doubt, that you aod all your co workers are earnest, consecrated Christiana. - i heartily commend yon and your band of laborers to any people who want to see souls saved and God’s cause ad vanced.” • The meetings will be con ducted every night at 8 o'clock and Sundry afternoon at S o'clock. The prayers of all good Chris thus people are earnestly re quested for the success of the meetings. i NO MILLDEAL. Messrs. 6. A. Gray and T. L.
