Mllledgevllle. Ga.. Nov. 26.—Ortho
doxy had its day of triumph In the
North Georgia conference here yes
terday In the powerful sermon preached
by Bishop Seth Ward. The discourse
was a powerful one and had a marvel
ous effect on the vast audience, which
was held spellbound by the eloquence
of the matchless young-looking giant
of the Southern Methodist church.
Each member of the congregation hung
onto his words as he expounded the
great subject he had under discussion,
and hardly had he finished when the
congregation, many of whom were
moved to tears, rushed forward and
made their way to the platform.
The bishop tried to get to his seat,
but couldn't. Old gray-hatred inen,
by the score, rushed upon the platform
and threw their arms around the neck
of the young-looking bishop, and In a
short time he was almost dragged to
his knees by the weight of those who.
were clinging to him.
As tho last words left his lips the
entire assemblage of over 1.000 people
manifested spiritual enthusiasm. All
present made an effort to reach the
man responsible for the scene.
Closing Words.
In dosing his sermon, Bishop Ward
said:
In conclusion, let us catdi some of
the enthusiasm and feeling of triumph
of the book of Revelation. The king
doms of evil are doomed and destined
fall. All the Babylons will eventu-
lly go down In defeat. The liquor
power shall go down; corruption in
public nnd private life shall go down:
avarice, that grips the church so hard,
shall go down: entrenched heathenism,
In all Its forms, shall go down. His
tory shall end witl\ an echo and arch
angels shall re-echo the notes of the
song, 'Hallelulla for the Lord God Om
nipotent Reigns,* and He reigns be
cause He ha* conquered'by the path
that leads to the bloody cross.”

Rev. B. F. Guille, of Olney
ben called to the pastorate of the West
mlnater Presbyterian church and his
acceptance Is assured. He will come to
Atlanta to assume his new duties about
January 1.
Mr. Guille preached hla first sermons
at Westminster Sunday morning and
night and a call was extended to him
by the committee. He Is a brother
of Rev. George E. Guille. of Augusta,
whose refusal to accept a call to
Westminster several weeks ago was a
source of disappointment.
An Interesting Incident la connected
with the call of Mr. B. F. Guille to
Atlanta.
Mr. Jacob Brown, a member of the
Central church, went to a great church
meeting at Indianapolis several weeks
ago. When he returned he met E. D.
Davis, of the Westminster church, on
the street.
Mr. Davis saw* him coining and
dodged Into a doorway, for he was
disappointed at the refusal of Rev.
George E. Guille to come to Atlanta
and did not w*ant to talk about it. But
Mr. Brow n saw* him In passing and fol
lowed him Into the crowd.
"By. the way,” he said, "I met a
brother of your Mr. Guille over In Ih-
dlanapolls and he w*ants to come south.
He tpld me he had heard of the scarcity
of ministers In the Presbyterian church
in this section and had prayed that he
might be called. And then when he
heard of his brother's coming to At
lanta. he prayed that he might be called
here. He Is a splendid man, and I wish
he could come.”
That chance meeting of Mr. Brown
and Mr. Guille In Indianapolis led to
an exchange of letters w hich finally re
suited In the ca'I of Mr. Guille to West
minster. The two brothers are original
ly from Athens, Tenn., anti the elder,
who has lieen In Indianapolis, has been
anxious to work In the South he loves.
Ho feels that his call Is a direct an
■war to his prayer that he be sent
South to relieve the scarcity of minis
ters In the Presbyterian church.
Pittsburg, Pa.. Nov. 26.—Policeman
James Butler, a negro, Is dying In the
St. Francis hospital air the result of
race war precipitated by his attempt
arrest a white man at an early hour
this morning. The riot occurred In
district populated by negro mill hands
and the reserves of the Lawrencevllle
police station were called out to sup
press the disorder.
The negro officer went Into a Chinese
restaurant at Forty-second street and
Pennsylvania avenue about 1 o'clock
this morning and arrested John Purcell,
a city fireman, for disorderly conduct.
The negro is said to have been using
unnecessary force In making the arrest
when several white men remonstrated
with him. Butler drew his revolver and
was promptly knocked down.
Purcell escaped and the whites stood
about offering no further violence,
After calling for help several times,
Butler Jumped up, and swinging hh
mace about his head, made a rush for
the whites. Several negroes ran to his
aid and a terrific battle resulted. But
ler was ngaln knocked down and kicked
around- the street until he was uncon
scious. Clubs and stones were freely
used as wenitons. A riot call brought
the police to the scene and the disor
der was soon quelled. About a dozen
ts were made.
