The Marlin Democrat
Fifteenth Year Number 8
Marlin, Texas, Thursday, June 2, 1904
5th SUNDAY MEETING.
The fifth Sunday meeting of Falls Co.
association that convened with the church at Glade chapel, was a grand success
from the beginning up to the time that left, 11 a. m. Sunday.
The holy spirit's fervor was in the meeting, and the
mind and hearts of the brethen from the beginning. All of the subjects were
fully and ably discussed by the brethen present. Many of the lay brethen taking
an active part in most of the subjects discussed.
It was fully decided that the association would buy a
tent 40 by 60 for holding meetings in destitute places during the summer. The
sum of $100 was furnished by the churches present to be paid to the treasurer by
the 20th of June. So that the tent may be had by July the first. Brethen let us
not forget that this amount will not be sufficient by at least $75, but some of
the good people present agreed to be responsible for the deficit. So it seems to
me that the tent is a certainty in the near future.
Brother Evans a young brother in the ministry, made a
good talk Saturday night from the 15th chapter of John.
Sunday morning the time was fully and ably occupied by
brother Nobles. His theme was "Love." He held up, and pictured to the people
Christ from the time of his birth until his crucifiction, and looking over, the
congregation could be seen many tear stained eyes, and oh how he appealed to the
unsaved to accept Jesus as their Savior. Some 12 or 15 presented themselves for
prayer. Saying by their actions they wanted Christ as their Savior and before
the meeting closed 4 did accept him and 3 were reclaimed, to God be all the
praise.
