SOLVED: I used "yum update lxc" to update the LXC packages and now everything works.

I was able to connect to my container using "lxc-attach" and I ran this:
# systemctl status console-getty.service
console-getty.service - Console Getty
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/console-getty.service; enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:agetty(8)
Oct 20 12:08:13 w5c-srvr01 systemd[1]: Stopped Console Getty.
Oct 20 12:15:01 w5c-srvr01 systemd[1]: Stopped Console Getty.
I tried restarting it but it times out saying this:
# systemctl start console-getty.service
Job for console-getty.service canceled.
When I check the status again, the result is the same.
Why is getty not working on my container?

I cloned a working OL 7.1 container and the clone starts without complaint, but I can't get a login prompt on the console.
Using 'lxc-console' connects me to the container, and when I hit Enter the cursor goes down a line. But I don't get a login prompt.
I used this command:
lxc-start -d -n <cont name> --logfile /container/<cont name>/LOG --logpriority=TRACE
to start both containers and compared the LOGs. They both have the same messages in them.
What is keeping my console login prompt from showing up?
