ACWORTH PASTOR
_ DISBARRED PENDING
i 1
REPLY TO CHARGES
Acworth, Ga., July 15—On the books
of tho Acworth Baptist church it is
officially 12corded that “the church is
not in peace and fellowship.” And |
so will it remain recorded until the
pastor, Rev. Lon Davis, either dis
proves or fails to disprove certain
charges that have bleen made against
him, including one that he was convic
ted in Texas some years ago for for
gery and embezzlement,
Mr. Davis has left town. He said
before his departure that he was going
to Texas to bring back proof that will
clear him. In the meantime, his pro
perty here has been levied on for
debts and his congregation, meeting
last night, has voted to disbar him
from his pulpit, pending his reply to
the accusations.
The action of the church is the talk
of Acworth today, for it brought to a'
head rumors that have seethed
through the town for weeks regarding
Mr. Davis and his past.
Mr. Davis has been popular with
many people ever since he came here
a year ago. Formerly he was pastor
of a church in Adairsville, and before
that he preached in Lavonia. He
was dqoing traveling evangelistic work
when the Acworth church tendered
him the pastorate in the summer of*
1920. He accepted this and the joint
pastorates of the New Salem church |
and the Mount Olive church. l
During his administration the Ac
worth Baptist church, one of the old
est and most stable in north Georgia,
has prospered. Today it has 245
members, including many of Acworth
most prominent people and many wlho
have been brought up in the Baptist
faith since the cradle. '
Mr. Davis, it is said, first became
unpopular with some people when hp]
started a- newspaper, the Acworth
Progress, and throngh its editorial ‘
columns began aftacks on another
church. Then rumors regarding his
past began to reach members of the
congregation, until the church an
thorities finally decided to make an
investigation. ; 58
