Editorial
The Gospel Gleaner Lectures of 2000 excelled
in content and timeliness. In a day of shattering and crumbling families,
the Lectureship extolled the glories and virtues of “The Christian Home.”
Friday evening, April 14, brother Max R. Miller
inaugurated the series of lessons by expounding on the topic “Husbands
At The Helm.” About 140 men came together for that session. Sister Jane
Maynard addressed over 160 ladies on “Wives By The Side Of The Helmsman.”
The Saturday sessions began with breakfast
at 6:30, and at 8 o’clock, Ivie Powell brought the first message. Crowds
averaged around 200 throughout each lecture.
Sunday services were a strong finish to the
effort with Allen Webster, M. W. Kiser and John T. Polk II speaking on
“Children In the Home,” “How To Have A Happy Home” and “Hugs In A
‘Bare’ Den,” respectively. Attendance was 675 for the morning hour and
525 for the evening services. Visitors were from as far away as Georgia
and Florida.
God willing, the Gospel Gleaner Lectureship
will press on to even more outstanding success in April 2001.
All of our readers are encouraged to come
and participate in our annual “spiritual feast.” Cassette recordings of
the lectures are available for the nominal cost of the tapes. Please contact
