Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 September 1899 — Rev. Faulk’s Lecture. [ARTICLE]

Rev. Faulk’s Lecture.

The lecture at the First Baptist church Monday evening was reasonably well attended. The speaker talked for two hours and still the people were interested. We draw conclusions that there are many weeping Rachels to-day made so by the voting Jacobs who make the laws. But this was not all the evils spoken of. The social evil was mentioned, as also the domestic grievance. The Rensselaer citizens who did not hear him missed a.treat, especially the parents. Those desiring a lecture on moral reform, social purity, or a political speech would do well to try and hear him. Rev. Faulk is a man among the few with push and backbone who believes in “legal as well as moral suasion” for some evil; for instance, the buggy whip doesn’t come amiss for disobedient girls, and I would mention the boys as well. He believes in reform socially, morally, politically, religiously, even a nasal drawl at the prayer meeting. Mr. Faulk has promised to be with us* on the 16th of October, to assist I. S. Wade in an all day temperance meeting at Rensselaer. xx
