REV. BARRETT
iSPEAKS TO 2,000
ELDON REVIVALIST DRAWS IM
MENSE CROWD EXCELLENT
SERMON WEDNESDAY,
(By a Staff Correspondent.)
Eldon, June 6.—Last night the big
toftt Wks filled with an attentive aud-
ierice.' Rev. Barrett opened the meet
ing, taking his text, "And we came to
Kftdtsh Barnea." If a person is not a
Bible student this text will be mean
li.ifliss to th»m, I ears beto/e this, Clod
hafl spokfen to Hoses, that he had told
Pharaoh to let his people go. But Pha
raoh, hardened his heart and refused to
dJ a* God commanded.
^fte.r a number of plagues had come
oh' them, God hardened Pharaoh's
hesrtand sent on the land of Egypt the
worst plague of all, taking their first
born.- Then Pharaoh said to the Chil
d'«.i of Israel "G," a:d r.hjy went.
~iheri
y*
del
Pharaoh, in his chariots went
out to bring back his servants, but'the
Red Sea was divided, and his chariots
and .nien Were burled in it. The Chll
dWSri of Israel then started on for the
promised land, with a cloud by day
and a- pillar of fire by night as their
giitde.
•God had promised them the land of
Canton, which flowed with milk and
honey. He had delivered them from
starving with manna from heaven and
waiter from the rocks.
But now when they came to Kadesh
Barnea, If they had put their hands in
God's -they Would have had only one
more day's journey to the land of Ca
naan.
"ttien the devil put it into their heads
that -God was deceiving them that it
wasH strange land full of wa'l"d cit^e
and giants. The" sent out twelve m»Jn
to.,look at it and they returned laden
with great* bunches of grapes and
fruits- and marvelous stories of won
derful things. They all agreed to It,
but ten of the spies said that God had
lied about it, as one day's Journey, but
Cil«h atl Joshua said, "Ra'ne.nib-jr
what Gpd ha$ done for us and not to
beafr&id. We have seen the giants
and walled cities, and let
UB
enter in
to Canaan."
A Golden Op :unity.
Tt was a golden opportunity, and to
refuse to do as God commanded, they
andered for forty years in the wil
erhese.
There was an awful responsibility on
y.
them.' It is an awful thing for the
leaders, who had been sent out to say,
"You. can have revivals at Fairfield,
1
Knoxville and other places, but In
Eldon there are giants." There is a
time when If a community puts its
hand farvvard, all is well, but If not,
otherwise a wilderness and despair.
nave felt for several day$ that Eldon
his a golden opportunity If the Chris
tiflifo people would put their hands In
God's and believe his promise.. If you
don-'t do it, Eldon will go into the wil
derness for years and hundreds of
souls will be lost.
I .wish I knew the history of th^
,chu»c|ii of Eldon kn of their vic
tories against the giants. If we could
onjy look into the future and see what
God has in store for us! I believe this
is your Kadesh Barnea for Eldon. You
haVe plaeestfunning in your city with
out, any semblance of law. These are
giants.. Gambling Is always in a rail
road town and is one of the great evils.
You have been doing some wilderness
^.•i'Uing. If you will put your trust 1n
God's word and take his hand, there
will be one of the greatest turnlngs
over you eve): dreamed of, in Eldon.
Jf you move into a new place and
are a church member, perhaps you
don't, put jvour letter In, but wait at)d
join the 400 and play cards and dance
then you are in a wilderness and it is
a hard thing to get out of it. It is not
what the churches of Eldon have been
doing for the last two'years, but what
yo.t
HS"» sng to do now, is the ques
tion.
I want you t6-set?»our responsibility
f?r-your'influence 'on other lives. Is
what you have been counting for God
or against Him'? Understand, you are
responsible to„ your feilow man.

REV.B ARRET S
GREAT SUCCESS
ELDON TENT
LAST EVENING^
,1' [By Staff Correspondent]
,ijp
Eldon, June 7.—Notwithstanding the
heavy rain all evening, sever
al hundred people gethered*
the tent and listened.to a short ser
mon from* second chapter and third
verse of second Timothy.
"Thou therefore endureth hardness
as a good soldier for Jesus Christ."
Rev. Barrett's -sermon was
thoroughly enjoyed by all
The many comparisons and
shots told as they were hurled in
thunder tones. He told what consti
tuted a soldier. His duty was to obey
his superiors and be truthful. So
should a soldier for Jestfs Christ obey
his commands at all times. He was
told by some Eldon pcoplo he had
come to a weedy place and by some a
rocky one. He said land that would
not grow weeds was no gdod and the
rocks could be burned into lime for
fertilizing. "Now we must prepare the
ground first for the crop. We must
stop finding fault. Throw down oux
division fences and cultivate the field.
Be a day laborer for God. Many peo
ple want to be confidential clerks and
unless they can be one of the leaders
they won't work."
With the rain pouring down and no
prospect of its abating, the audience
sat as if spellbound. It proved that
the Eldon churches have thrown down
the fences and are cutting the weeds
preparatory to sowing a crop.
It was remarked by many "How I
like Brother Barrett." One man said
"I would not go to hear him at first,
but now I can"t stay away."
The afternoon meetings at the Bap,
tlsh church grows In numbers and in
terest. The handwriting on the wall
can be read in plain letters. "Eldon
Will Be Redeemed."
When a community becomes of one
mind there is a power for good or
evil.
Tonight the sermon will be on "My
relation to Jesus Christ and Jesus
Christ's relation to me."
