My
soul really craves a church home. Can you offer me such where I shall
have the fellowship I crave?"
"We need just such members as you and Mrs. Davis would be, Mr. Davis,"
said Pastor Jones. "Many of our members are not spiritual. I have
tried to arouse them, but it seems in vain, but if we had more members
like you, we should have a spiritual church. Old Mother Piercy claims
sanctification, and there are three or four who are praying members."
"I will pray about it, Mr. Jones," said Robert.
On the next day, Mr. Percy Johnson visited them on the same mission,
and on the day following, Mr. Claude Perkins came. To them, Robert
replied much as he did to Mr. Jones. All of them deplored the lack
of vital godliness in their churches and bewailed the lack of
spirituality among their numbers. It was a fact that on prayer meeting
nights very few persons were out to either of their churches. On the
outside, Robert could discern little difference between the various
denominations.
