I LYNCH ACCEPFS CMl 10 IMS CHURCH Distinguished Preacher and for Years Pastor at Churches in College Towns Has Announced His Acceptance of the Call of First Baptist \ Church of This City. Durham, N. C., March 27.—Uev. J. W. Lynch yesterday announced his acceptance of a call to the pastorate of the First Baptist church at Ath ens, Ga., to begin September 1, after a tour of Europe. His resignation here takes effect April 20. Dr. Lynch is a Virginian, but has spent his pastorate In North Caro lina and In Kentucky, barring a sing le year In his native state. He lived ten years In Danville, Ky., the home of Central university; three nnd a half years at Wake Forest; one year in Roanoke, Va., and was called back lo Wake Forest for six ana a hnlf years. He was t’ten called to Dur ham. WHAT DURHAM THINKS OF DR. LYNCH. (Fom Durham Herald.) The First Baptist church of Ath ens, Georgia, has renewed Its court ship of Rev. Dr. J. W. Lynch, begun tears ago and latt night he apprised his deacons of his call to that church nnd of his consideration of the call. The ofTer has been held out to him In former years and has come with greater attractiveness In the last call. That church came near gaining his mind to go to that home of learning before he quire to Durham, hut Wake Forest implored him to remain there. That was more than two years ago. When Durham won him to this cltf, men marveled then as they do now. Dr. Lynch has not spoken the flhal word. He has confided to those clos est to him that he has the matter un, dor favorable consideration. The chances are unfortunately- against . Durham. The .University of Georgia, the Lucy Cobb Institute, the State Normal school and the College of Agriculture make of the Southern town not an ill namesake of an older Athens in an older world. Ir. a min istry of twenty-three years, twenty have been spent In a college commu nity ahd there never has been any concealment of the fact that to col lege men, young men whose studies Incline them to religious thought and even doubt, he addresses his most powerful appeals always. It Is re called by those who have read Infi del newspapers that one of the most notable conversions of recent years was his winning over brilliant young Athens of central university more than ten years ago. It was a tri umph of one ministry had that been Its crowning and chief fact. Suspicion that a struggle was going on between the two elements of the man’s feeling that he was traveling the ragged diagonal betwen duty an I desire had led, perhaps a few, to ex pect something of this nature. It had been known In this place. Dr. Lynch yeaterday determined to call together hit deacons and to put the matter be fore them rather than shock his con gregation Sunday morning. • The announcement will come as a tremendous blow this morning, for there are less than twenty-five In town who know of It as the paper Is sues today. The deacons themselves were dumfounded last night and ut terly unprepared for such a Story. The pastorate of Rev. Dr. James William Lynch covers ten years at Central university, Danville, Ken tacky, three and a half years at Wake Forest, one year at Roanoke, Va„ and six and a half years In a second min If try at Wako Forest. Ho came here April of 1900, thus completing twen ty-three years of ministerial life. In referring to his acceptance to the call to Durham two years ago, Dr. W. L. Poteat, president of Wake Forest col lege, declared that no congregation lu tho United States has heard bet ter preaching than Wake Forest and Dr. John H. White, on his last trip lo Durham, said of him: "Ho Is the most perfe-t preacher In the North Carolina Baptist church.” He went further nnd pronounced him tho rqual of any man iM the Southern Baptist convention. And only those calls that have demanded public ac tion have been heard by the public. He Is being constantly asked to other and larger fields. He has won this high praise of his preaching ability by methods that glo rify the gospel. The man who low ers his own standard in the pulpit, receives but one Invitation to preach for hlrti. The vulgar tricks of peri patetic preacher who loves mobs, he despises and he has never preached anything except the gospel. He has been the living He to the dogma that to interest even the sensual and fri volous art of mankind, one must keep hlr. face ever to the gutter. He scorns the gospel that must always be reach ing down. The congregation will rally tomor row night and make concerted appeal to him to tarry yet awhile. Appended to this item Is a call from the officials of the church to the entire congre gation. It will doubtless be the most notable gathering of many years. Among those who gather will be many not of his church, for he preaches to more of these than any minister who has ever come here. The call reads: "In view of a call recently extend ed to Dr. J. W. Lynch from the First Baptist church of Athens, Ga., a call meeting of the entire congregation of the First Baptist church Is request ed Friday evennig, March 24, at 7:30. "By order of the deacons of the First Baptist church.” NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT. There Is an assessment now due ir, the Oconee Burial association on account of the death of David Walker.

Congestion is most pronounced In the district served by tho College av enue, Meigs street, and Nantahala av enue buildings, and relief could be IfTovlded by the erection of a twelve- rcom building In the neighborhood of Pulaski street. In case the Meigs street property cannot be obtained a twelve-room building should he erec ted In the neighborhood of Prince and Mllledge. These twenty-four room* with a separate building for the Wcat Albena kindergarten, and a feur-room building for a primary school near tho River street bridge, would make room for forty-nine grades, all of which will certainly be required by 1917 and la all probability much before that time, as the enrollment will Inereasa^by a fixed percentage rather than a fixed number. The negro schools are deplorably- crowded, seven hundred and nlnety- nlno children being crowded Into ten rooms, an average of eighty to the room that should not be used for over thirty children. To remedy this sWe of affairs a twelve-room building should be ererted In a neighborhood convenient to the center of negro pop ulation, rather than at or near the city limits, as are the two small buildings now in use. These latter could be repaired and used for the lower grades for some time. The committee recommends a bond Issue to povide funds for the needed buildings In the future, the Issue nor to be les than 1125,000.00, and for the coming year the erection of two or three temporary rooms In locations to be determined later. The suggestion of the committee as to the location of the new buildings Is tentative only as the subject will re quire very, complete consideration, having In view the pri es of'Iota, the political pressure from the several sections of the city that is liable to affect the success of an election, and the amount of money that may bo available. Funds should be provided in a bond Issue for furnishing as well as build ing the houses. The need Is very ur gent and the committee would recom mend that the board push the matter vigorously and zealously. The petition from the civic club asking that the board grant the use the school grounds for playgrounds was granted. Prof. J. 8. Stewart, of the Uni versity of Georgia, appeared before the board and presented a 1 proposi tion to secure the sum of one thou sand dollars, to be distributed over a period of three years, for the pur pose of Increasing the Industrial work Ir the colored schools In this city. The matter was discussed at some length and Anally referred to the finance coiqmlttee. Sanitary Officers Killed Third Mad Dog and Many Others That Were Bitten.
