Scottie Speaks .on
the Holy Spirit
Scottie's sermon on the "Per-
sonality and Power of the Holy
Spirit" was the climax of the
meeting so far. It was full of
, reason, logic and experience. He
said that too many folks look on
the Holy Spirit as only being an
eminence or a power flowing
Ifom God. He says that the
Holy Spirit is as much a person
as* God, the Father, or Christ, the
Son; that He is always mentioned
in the Scripture as a person, in
the personal pronouns: He, His
| or Him; that He is equal with the
^ Father and Son in the sacred or-
dnance of baptism and the bene-
dfction; that he was lied to by
Ananias and Sapirio (and say,
by the way, it is a dangerous
thing to do. To quench or grieve
or blaspheme the Holy Spirit is
the most dangerous thing that
inn be done); that He has a will
of his own, yet not contrary to j
the Father and Son but in har-
mony with them.
^Scottie sure put the skeptic on
{the run when he began on the
jjsion of the Spirit. First that
fiT was to convict the world of
kin. Scottie says you can't tell
what sin is except by the Spirit.
How do you know you have sin-
Mr. Skeptic? No skeptic
deny his being conscious of
sin. What or who is it but HIM,
the Holy Spirit, telling or regist-
ering upon the conscience of man?
For a man to deny this fact in his
3ife is only to lie to himself, God
md man. It is Him, the Holy
Spirit, who tells us in our con-
ttipnee or heart of righteousness,
md say, why is it that all native
;ongues and tribes believe in sin,
righteousness and a future judg-
ment? And yet some of the sup-
posed or would be higher critics
leny it. Your own conscience

reach in the time to talk up the
annual Lincoln County Sunday
School Convention which con-
venes Wednesday afternoon,
Sept. 19, at the Methodist church
in Chandler.
Special effort is being put forth
to make this the best attended
and the most enthusiastic con-
vention yet held in this county.
It is expected that all the finance
will be in the hands of the treas-
urer before the convention as-
sembles, so that all the' time can
be used for the regular conven-
tion work and so doing away
with the need of raising money at
that time.
It is desired that every school
in the county will be represented
by at lerist one delegate, and if
possible by all the superinten-
dents and teachers and as many
others as can come.
Next Sunday, Sept. 2, it is plan-
ned to send workers to Stroud,

ping at as many schools between

Sunday School time.

entertained by the Chandler
schools.
