The Hutcheson Meeting.
Springtown has just closed a great
revival meeting conducted by Rev.
Fayette L. Hutcheson, a former citi-
zen of Springtown, and also at one
time a citizen of Weatherford, who
was engaged In the practice of law
until a little more than a year ago,
when he was converted and began
preaching the gospel.
This Is the second revival meeting
that he has held at Springtown and
both have been remarkably successful
so far sub human observation goes.
Bro. Hutcheson carried with him
the impression of one who is deeply
In earneet and wholly consecrated to ~
the work of being inotrnmental In sav-
ing the lost and in' causing reforma-
tions in^the lives of wicked and sinful
men and women.
One of the most noticeable features
of the meeting and one that seems to
have no little hearing and Influence in
his "work is the non-sectarian spirit in
which he works and the manner and
e
willingness in which different Chris-
tian denominations unite and give
their co-operation and influence.
This seems to be the true and nat-
ural way to have and expect a genuine
revival and the promotion of an unsel-
fish and a brotherly religion and Chris-
tianity like Jesus Christ founded, and
set in motion in the world.
Rev. Hutcheson doubtless represents
one of the “eleventh hour” laborers
referred to lu the Bible, though coming
in rather late, under the law, he Is.
entitled to his penny. , .
The people of Springtown attd smv
rounding country consider the meet-
ing just closed a great moral and spi-
ritual blessing and in the language of
the oldest cit'zen of our communinty
and of a,different denomination to tn*
leader of the meeting one that wjll
be long remembered and far reaching
in its influence.
