LETTER FROM WILL HILL Hinesville, Ga., Dec. 27, 1919. Dear News: Tuesday, December 23d, 1 spent the day with Judge Brewton and Profes sor Eason, of Hinesville, on Colonels Island, at the scene of old Sunbur and at old Midway Church. On Colonels Island we visited three of the seven quaint homes. A strange people they are; in acts, speech and general characteristics they are dif ferent to people on the mainland. At the site of old Sunbury I stood amid the bleak ruins of what was onoe a thriving town, probably built before Savannah. The scene there is now weird indeed. Where once humanity surged now the snakes, frogs, rabbits and quail reign supreme ly. One lonely-looking old building tells the traveler that civilization ever spread her golden wing that way. I saw the oak there under which Geor gia’s first Masonic lodge was organ ized, now King Solomon Lodge in Sa vannah. They use a gavel still made of the timber of this old oak tree at Sunbury. A few hundred yards below the river-boat landing yet stands the remains of old Fort Morris, where the American flag was last folded in Geor gia to the powers of Great Britain. On our way home, seventeen miles out of Hinesville, we stopped at old Midway Church. This old church is one of the Georgia landmarks. It was organized about 1750. It was congre gational in its form of government, though it was served by pastors of the different denominations and was the only “meeting house’’ for the com munity. The preachers that served this old church were men of a high type of culture and ability, coming principally from the great universl ties of the East. The influence of this old church has not only been felt in Georgia, but throughout the conti nent.; so much so that the history of American church or state cannot be written after eliminating the dona tions of old Midway Church. The cem etery wall at this old church was built of brick that were shipped from Liverpool most two centuries ago and hauled from Sunbury in ox-carts. I saw a head-board at a grave that was put there in 1747. A few years ago the Federal government build a monu ment there, at a cost of $10,000, to the memory of Generals Screven and Stewart. A goodly number of other celebrities are buried there. The influence of this old church is not only felt and talked of in Liberty county, but everywhere that Liberty county is known. I think you will scan the pages of American history in vain to find a parallel to old Mid way Church. Her contribution to civil ization, in church and state, has threaded the ages, and will bless the world till the stars go out. She has donated preachers, statesmen, authors, inventors, scientists, soldiers and men of other ranks that have risen to the top in their callings and professions and trades. She produced 4 governors, 2 signers of the Declaration of In dependence, 6 members of the halls of Federal Congress, 5 counties named for her noble sons, 82 preachers, 6 college professors, 3 theological pro fessors, 2 university chancellors, 6 foreign missionaries, 2 judges of the superior court, 3 solicitors-general, 3 college presidents, 2 city mayors, 1 United States minister to a foreign country, 5 authors of note, 1 historian, 1 teacher of medicine, 3 clerks of pres byteries, 1 clerk of synod, 6 editors (some of fame), 1 superintendent of city schools, 1 president of normal school. She established the state’s first school of any prominence, lead in temperance reform, produced the first Presbyterian preacher in Geor gia, the first traveling Methodist preacher in the state, the first bishop in the Southern Methodist Church, the first Baptist foreign missionary from the South, the first Presbyterian mis sionary from the South, the first mis sionary to die on a foreign field, and a host of others that we will be proud of as long as we are a state, or a nation. This people came to this neighbor hood close on the heels of the Sauls- burgers, the Moravians and the im mortal John Wesley. They came di rectly from Dorchester, S. C., where they came from Dorchester, Mass., where they came from Dorchester, Eng. Dorchester, Ga., is now a rail way station near the old church. Her big purpose in coming was to find amid the spacious everywhere, in God’s big, free world, a happy spot where they might worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience. This is why I hold that faith alone lias written history. Not science. Science has made records but not his tory. Where are the men and what have they done that persecuted Dan iel, Paul or Wesley, crucified Christ or drove these great souls from their native homes to face an untried wil derness in ordpr that they might be good men and women and take their children to the good world with them? They are not to be heard from. The church is the pioneer in the on-marching spenders of dazzling civ ilizations, banging, bruising, bleeding and battling its way through the fast nesses of the wilderness, the waste of the dessert or up the rugged slopes of the mountain, crying to the world to follow. I repeat that it has been faith and not science that has clenched Its hands, gritted Its teeth in the face of the storm and swung itself upon the bosom of the raging tempests and gone on the hazardous rides for free dom.

On Which Side AreYou? PROHIBITION WILL BE ENFORCED. That is as certain as the doom of the liquor traffic. BUT IT WILL NOT ENFORCE ITSELF. It will not be enforced by lax officials, elected by the vote of the “bootlegger.” SUPPORT CANDIDATES WHO STAND FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. The fight against the licensed barroom has been won. It must be followed up. THE LAW OF THE LAND MUST BE OBEYED. To assist in enforcing Prohibition there will be a week’s campaign for funds, beginning Jan uary 16, the day the Eighteenth Amendment be comes effective.
