LrangelUt Browning's , Preaching

Laut Night Will Talk to Women
and Girls Sunday Afternoon
Mr. Stapleton Will Deliver His
yC-oidle Sermon" Monday Night
services at the t arums Schools,
At the close of Evangelist Brown
ing's sermon last night about fifty
persons, mostly young men and
young; women, made professions of
faith. This was about the first op
portunity that the evangelist had
given for those who heard him to
make a public profession of their
conversion. He has been preaching
for ten .days and the strong sermons
that the congregations have had
from day to day are beginning to
show results.
LAST (NIGHT'S SERVICE.
Last night's service was begun' by
the singing by the choir of "I Choose
Jesus," "He Is a Friend of Mine"
and the old familiar song, "Blessed
Assurance." Mr. Stapleton then
called for testimonials and quite a
- numbers responded. --Mr. Browning
then announced that on next Monday
night Mr. Stapleton would deliver
his "Candle Sermon", which he add
ed was one of the most excellent ser
mons he had ever heard. He furth
er announced that he would not
omit services because of the celebra
tion in Charlotte.
Just before the sermon Mr. Sta
pleton gang a most touching solo,
"My Thoughts Take Me Bark to
Scenes of Childhood." The tender
Ben Urn en ta expressed by the song and
the impressive manner in whicji it
was rendered made a profound im
pression on the congregation. The
singer paused long enough as Tie
sang to speak of the great sin of ne
glectjng the family altar.
Mr. Browning's sermon was based
on the third chapter of John. His
subject was "The Second Birth or
Regeneration." He handled this dif
ficult subject in such a manner as to
hold the undivided attention of the
congregation. He said that only
three or four States in the Union
have more church members than
North Carolina. South Carolina has
4 6 per cent of her population on the
church books. ''How many of the
people here whose names are on the
church books really know God?" He
said a very large per cent of them
did not know God. He said if the
people of Gastonia knew God the
ministers would have enough lay
members working for them to allow
them to go out and capture the coun
try for God. So many of the mem
bers of the various churches have
gone through all the church ceremo
nies but they don't know Gad. Nico
deraus knew of God but was an old
man without God.
"Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God. Ex
SERf.lOf J TOIVOMEH Ofj
cept a man be born of water and of
the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom df God." Christ came to
teach us that we are spiritual be
ings, that we have not souls but that
we are souls. The body is the house
of the soul. Our bodies change ev
ery seven years, yet our personali
ties are not lost. We cannot reach
God through human processes.
Heathen and Catholics have tried It
and have failed. To spend two
years trying to come to God is fool
ish when we might repent in two
hours. We are not heard for our
own much asking. God is as much
in the notion of saving us now as He
will ever be. Thank God there is
such a thing as being saved and
knowing it.
THURSDAY MORNING
"At 10 o'clock Mr. Browning con
tinued his remarks on "Paul's Des
cription of a Soldier of the Cross".
The keynote of his sermon was
courageous living. He stated that
the Roman soldier had no armor for
his1 back as he was expected to face
the enemy. St. Paul in writing for
Christians, never provided a single
piece of armor for the Christian's
back. Read, the sixth chapter of
Ephesians and see how many pieces
of armor it takes. We are to be
brave and courageous. Heaven is
no place for a coward. He would be
out of place should he get there.
The man who is a coward is lonely.
The man who took some woman's
or child's place when the Titantlc
was sinking was a coward and a
brute.
No coward In the church can tell
of his religious experineces. If he
has never gone hungry it he has
never taken an insult, he can do
very little testifying. A compromis
ing Christian counts for little. If
he ever goes to heaven, he will have
to take a back seat. People here
who do not love God or His "king
dom couldn't stand heaven.
Said Mr. Browning: "Oh, how we
need courage!" It took courage to
refuse wine as .Bryan did at a ban
quet while the late Bob Taylor and
many other men of note were drink
ing. If a young man has ever prom
ised his mother not to .drink strong
liquors he had better not break it.
The man who can refuse commands
our admiration and respect.
Mr. Browning said that a woman
waa Instrumental and courageous
enough to begin the first Methodist
church In America at. New York
City. He said that the bravest thing
we could do was to do right. Live
for God and die for your faith. In
speaking of some man or woman who
baa died, don't fall to mention the
life they Aave lived. People need

A WORD FOR MOTHERS
It is a grave mistake for mothers to neg
lect their aches lad pains and suffer in
silence this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
If your work is tiring; if your nerves are
excitable; if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should know that Scott's
Emulsion overcomes just such conditions.
It possesses in concentrated form the
very elements to invigorate the blood,
strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves
and build strength.

mothers-and will help yon. NoakohoL

Union With Other Denominations
In Mlwdonary Work- Proposition

' Woik Under One trciig Hoard
StatUticH Show Splendid Growth.
The Southern Baptist Convention
convened in its sixty-first annual
session at Asheville Wednesday with
nearly 1,400 delegates in attendance.
The Rev. Dr. Lansing Burrows, of
Americus, Ga., was re-elected presi
dent. The opening session was ta
ken up with election of officers and
presentation of reports of the various
boards controlled by tne convention,
ond being the foreign mission board
which recommended in its report
that the Southern Baptist Conven
tion decline to enter Into a union
with other denominations in foreign
mission work. The convention later
will vote on adoption of this report
and the others presented.
Possibility that the Southern con
vention will hold a meeting at the
same time and place with the North
ern Baptist Convention next year
was brought out by efforts of mem
bers of the Southern Baptist church
es in Kansas City to make that place
the next convention city. It was. said
efforts are being made to get the
Northern' Baptists now in session at
Minneapolis, Minn., to meet next
year in the Missouri city. New Or
leans, Hot Springs and several other
Southern cities also are seeking to
entertain the Southern Baptists in
1!U7.
Other officers elected were as fol
lows: Vice-Presidents. B. C. Hening. 'or
Klizabeth City, N. C; J. H. Uw
rence. of Columbus, Miss.; J. li. Mell
of Athens, Ga., and J. C. Stalcup. or
Oklahoma City, Okla. Mr. Hening
was the only vice-president re-elect
ed.
Secretaries O. F. Gregory, of Bal
timore, and H. C. Moore, of Ral
eigh, both were re-elected. Other
officers are:
Treasurer. George W. Norton, of
Louisville. Ky.
Auditor, W . i Harvey, of 1 1 a r
rodsburg. Ky.
Another report presented was
that of the Sunday school board
which showed total receipts of $4 5,
7 29 with a balance on hand of more
than $30,000. It was said a larger
balance than usual had been laid a-
side because of the increased cost or
white paper used in printing work
done by the board. The foreign
mission board announced comple
tion of the Judson Centennial Fund
of $1,250,000 for aiding foreign
missions. This fund was virtually
completed last year.
Wednesday night's session was
devoted chiefly to the sermon of the
convention, preached by the Rev.
Dr. Charles W. Daniel, of Atlanta,
who spoke on Christian Life as Ex
emplified by the Life of Paul the
Apostle.
Just before Mr. Daniel began his
sermon, the convention turned to a
general business and Mr. Wolfe in
troduced a resolution which, if a
dopted. would dissolve the foreign,
hbme and Sunday school boartls, the
three boards of the convention, and
put all the "work and enterprises
fostered aHd promoted by this con
vention" under the direction of one
strong executive board." Mr. Wolfe
in making the assertionh ;Sv xl.fgof
in making the resolution asserted
that one body controlling all the
work of the convention would have
money, and referred to the deficits
reported this year and in previous
years by the foreign and home
boards. The resolution was refer
red, without debate, to a committee
to be reported later to the conven
tion. Another resolution introduced
would provide for a committee to be
appointed to lay out a "church fi
nancial program which it would
have the convention recommend to
all Southern Baptist churches to
make more uniform their financial
affairs. This resolution will be dis
cussed later.
