SAM JOM'U IN' -ST. LOtilS.

Democrat indicates a glorious victory for
the Master’s cause :
Sam Jones had a good morning service
at Centenary Church yesterday, and a still
better one at St. John’s M. E. Church in
the afternoon. If, as many seem to think,
the tide of this present revival lias now
set in for success, and for the landing of
many souls safe and sound for the gospel
haven, there* are not a few who believed
last l ight that the turn of the tide occur
red at‘St. John’s, But be this as it may,
the tide set in heavily last night, and many
a soul drifting about on the sea of life
found refuge in the harbor of peace.
Everything around fhe meeting at Cen
tenary Church was in perfect harmony to
the end that a victory might be achieved
for that Lord and Master whose humblest
servant is Sam Jo- ;. The prayer by I)r.
Brack was an earn* -,fc wrestling with the
throne of the heavenly grace. The sing
ing was the heartiest of any that has been
heard at the present scrieJ of meetings,
aH’l Sam Jones, spiritually revived by
commuinJfi with his Master, and physi
eally refreshed by a, visit to his barber,
looked bright, and-smited cheerily as he
gazed on the ministers around about him.

‘ The services at" the Methodist church
•last Sunday were peculiarly'touching and
interesting. In the morning Rev. Mr.
Robins gave his congregation a feeling and
able farewell sermon, which was listened
to with great interest. It was a timely,
sensible eloquent discourse, which will
not soon be forgotten. /
At night Re A Mr:' Dodge,., preached k
sermon of great force and 'simplicity,
abounding in apt illustrations, and touchy
jug appeals, which was richly enjoyed by
the large congregation present.

THE METHODISTS.
A Change of Pastors—A Vad Congregation
Viinrthlsf Aboui the New Pastor.
It is a very common thiug for Methodist
preachers to be taken away from churches
and people greatly against their wishes —
it is but one of the results of the working
of the itinerant system—and experience
has demonstrated the fact that this is the
most efficient system of propagating the
gospel that has ever yet been tested. And
then when a preacher don’t suit a people
they bear it patiently a year, knowing
that there will soon be a change.. And
then these Methodists are a good, loyal
set, lies ides, and make all thpir preachers
at home.
When it was announced that Mr.
Robins had been changed, there was great
surprise, and great regret; for he is great
ly loved by his church and the people
generally. He has done a good work
here, and his name will be kept fresh in
our memory by his words and deeds while
among us. He will bear with him to hi*
new field of labor the sincere prayers and
good wishes of all ourpeop.c.
THU NEW PREACHES,
Rev. W. A, Dodge, comes to us with a
fine record, and since we are to give up
Mr. Robins, the church is to be congrat
ulated upon it* good fortune to secure -as
his successor such a man as Mr. Dodge.
He began preaching when a seventeen
year old boy, and has been a success from
the start. He is one of the most popular
preachers in the Conference, and wins the
love of every community in which he
lives. He is very out-spoken in his
preaching, and not backwark to attack sin
and vice wherever it is found. While
stationed at Eatonton a few year ago, he
succeeded in uniting the various church
es there in a crusade against the liquor
traffic. Which resulted in a complete re
volution of the whole county. This was
reallyJhe beginning of the churche’s woik,
directly for prohibitory laws in Georgia.
A revival of religion followed, which
swept over the county.
Three years ago Bishop Pierce said he
wanted one of the best workers in the
body for the city mission field in Atlanta,
and Mr. Dodge was settled upon as the
man. In two years he gathered up and
organized two or three churches—one of
them, Grace Church, erected a splendid
church and parsonage, and was ready to
receive and support a pastor. At Gaines
ville this year, a glorious work has been
done, and that has been raised from a
small station to one that can support the
largest and most expensive families con
nected with the Conference. He is a
plain, practical preacher, a live Sunday
School man, and an indefatigable worker
in every department of church work.
The writer had the pleasure of two
years’ association with Mr. Dodge, at
Sparta, and we have never seen a pastor
more universally loved than he was there.
We predict a year of glorious success
for Mr. Robins at Dalton, and for Mr.
Dodge at Cartersville. \

OUR WESTERN VISITORS.
A large company of Ohio farmers passed
through here on the 4th. They were met
at the depot here by a delegation of live
Bartow county men, and accompanied to
Atlanta by several. At Atlanta they were
met by delegations from various portions
of the State, and are now in squads, being
shown around Georgia.
The following communication to the
Constitution will give an idea of what
they think of our State:
We, a portion of the formers’ excursion
to Atlanta, Ga., desire to say to our many
newly made friends in Georgia that we
are not only satisfied, but highly pleased
with our trip. It is true we did not get to
see much of rich fanning lands along the
Western & Atlantic Railroad, because we
could not look out of both sides of the car
at the same time. We, however, saw
enough to convince us that Georgia has
millions of acres of most excellent farming
lands. W r hen we reached the beautiful
little city of Cartersville we wese treated
to one of the most enjoyable surprises of
our lives. A large number of the leading
farmers of that section came on board of
our train, headed by the lively and genial
Mr. Baker, and we assure you we were
made to leel that we were welcome to
their hospitalities and homes. For once
we were made to realize that these whole
souled sons of Georgia were our brothers.
On our return trip we will stop and
visit them, for we know that all are ready
to receive us and show us over their coun
try. W r e find that, besides the lands be-
ing remarkably cheap, they are capable of
being brought to the highest state of culti
vation. Middle and north Georgia is just
the place for northern farmers. When
we arrived in Atlanta, we were again
taken by surprise. Dr. Estabrook, who
seemed to be everywhere at the same time,
soon arranged for a welcome, as royal as
was ever given any one. We met at the
agricultural rooms of the state at 9 o’clock
Saturday morning where we were receiv
ed by, and had the honor of an introduc
tion and shaking hands with the honor
able governor of Georgia (H. D. McDan
iel,) after which he gave us a speech of
welcome, which was highly appreciated,
and won the hearts of all. After this,
speeches were made by the following
honorable gentlemen : Col. R. J. Redding,
assistant commissioner of agriculture.
Major L. F. Livingston, president of the
State Agricultural society, Hon. YV. M.
Hawkes, of Americus, Ga., Hon. D. B.
Harrell, Preston, Ga., Mr. W. L. Glessner,
editor Recorder, - Americus, Ga. Then Dr.
Estabrook put the crowd into proper
shape to receive the courtesies of Acting
Mayor Mecaslin, of Atlanta, who tendered
us the liberties of the city, and placed at
our service twenty-five fine coaches in
which, accompanied by a number of lead
ing citizens of Georgia, we were shown
the city of Atlanta.
We are ready to say to all that we met
brothers at every turn; and so long as
such a generous welcome, rich lands and
splendid lands and splendid markets are
open to us we will iieyef go west.
