Methodist Church.
Rev. W. A. Huckabee, Agent
for the Orjthan home.at Macon,
preached an interesting and help
lul sermon at the Methodist
Church Sunday at 11, a. m. Mr.
Huckabee s text was St. I. John
11:20-28. We can not give the
-■ -riuon in full but the following
synopsis will suggest- to our read
ers the unique and original man
lier in which the minister handled
‘in: beautiful ! xt of scripture:
1. This is part of our Lord’s
pray: r fur his disciples just before
(.he crucifixion. Tn his teaching
Jesus hod sought t" reveal to them
the true nature of God, He here
prays that this revelation might
be successful.
■J. Cl, ; - a der depends upon our
estimate cl God. This estimate
has been influenced by idolatrous
anc Ary and is iiuperfc d. Reve
lation is employed to bring us to
a proper estimate of God.
8. God lias employed different
methods of revelation in different
ages of the world. To the an
; Mils, God came tli rough the
ministry of Angels; sometimes
in visions and dreams; but a per
fect revelation could be made on-
1 j tbr..u:;Ii the coming of Christ.
By his manifestation in the flesh,
and by his teaching Jesus more
fully revealed the Omnipresence
God. and the character of his
worship. God is a spirit and must
be worshipped in spirit. He is
omnipresent and may be worship
pod everywhere.
Jesus also revealed the fact of
his identity with God, and his
identity with man, thus showing
tin easy approaches of every be
liever through him to the father.
The preacher closed his s nrmon
by relating a touching incident in
his own experience, showing how
readily he found God present, to
comfort his own heart at tho
death of liis Tittle* girl.

Wayne’s Official Newspaper
The action Tuesday of Wayne
county’s Board of Commissioners
of Roads and Revenues and of the
Wayne County Board of
tion in making The Sentinel their
official organ completes the act as
initiated by Sheriff W. B. Evens
in making this newspaper the of
ficial mouMi piece of the entire le
gal machinery of the county.
Hence, it any one desires to keep
up with all the legal advertise
ment and also wishes to read reg
ularly each month t'hajpreoeedings
of the above two Boards, all that
is necessary is to subscribe for
The Sentinel, which requires the
small outlay of but $1.00 in or
der to get all this important in
formation for an entire year.
The Sentinel appreciates the
honor that the above Boards ami
«>
officers have thus bestowed, and
will therefore make every effort
to give the people of Wayne coun
ty one of the best weekly news
papers in the state. In ddfcng
this we trust to merit and receive
the hearty support of our entire
people. I
School Sanitation
The Sentinel wishes to cal! at
tention to an item of more than
usual intcress in connection with
tho matter of proper sanitation of
the public schools, and especially
is this of particular interest to the
patrons of the Jesup High School.
Prof. W. D. Green, the city su
perintendent, is not only an able
instructor and an a successful
principal, blit he also looks care
fully after the health of his school.
At the end of each week, usually
on Friday afternoon when the
janitor starts to sweep, he pre
pares a solution of one part of
Oreo Carbolino to five hundred
parts of water and with this the
floors of each room Jis sprinkled
TJiis solution is an excellent germ
killer, especially is it death to the
germs of Typhoid fever. By us
ing this fumigator, doubtless, the
probable spread o! many conta
gious deceases is prevented. At
present, when the measles and
mumps seem prevelent, this pre
ventative is no little help in keep
ing up the sanitary conditions as
well as possible.
Jesup is fortunate in having at
the head of her city schools a man
who so carefully looks after the
sanitary condition of the school,
thus keeping at a minimum the
spread of any contagious or even
infectous deceases.
