Macon, Ga. — Up to 700 Metho

five day Pastor’s School at Wesley
an College.
The ministers from both the
South and North Ga. Conferences,

Sept. 4-8 at Wesleyan. The Pastor’s
School is designed to acquaint the
ministers with the latest counsel
ing methods and to bring them up
to date on church administrative
duties and other responsibilities.
A spokesman said the session is
an annual affair to keep Methodist
ministers abreast of the latest aids
in the “business of the church.”
The annual sessions were origin
ated by church leaders of the At-
lan area.
Dr. Hoover Rupert, pastor of the
First Methodist Church of Ann Ar
bor, Mich., will be platform speak
er for the school. Author of several
books and a member of the World
Methodist Council, Dr. Rupert will
preach each day during the week.

Testament in the Ohio Methodist
Theological School, will lecture sev
eral times on “Bibilical Scripture
Interpretation.” Also the author of
Atlanta, Ga. — The

to Thomas Watson, former Ga. Con
gressman regarded as the “Father
of Rural Free Delivery” of mail.
A ceremony at the Watson Mon
ument on the state capitol lawn
served as a prelude to the national
convention of the National Rural
Letter Carriers Assn.
The organization and its auxili
ary are expected to attract 2,500
persons to Atlanta. Featured speak
er, U.S. Postmaster General J. Ed

Watson, a dominant figure in Ga.
politics around the turn of the
century, was elected to one term
in Congress on the Populist ticket
in 1890. He was sent to the Senate
as a Democrat in 1920.
It was during his term as a rep
resentative that Watson led a suc
cessful fight for free delivery of

towns and communities.
Watson died in 1922.

Delay in making application to a

Also, each new school term is a

Each student should survey his in
