METHODIST CHURCH
WAS DEDICATED
Large Audience to Hear
Bishop Atkins.
In the presence of a congregation
which filled the spacious auditorium,
and overflowed far Into the galleries,
the First Methodist Church was ded
icated yesterday morning. The ded
icatory sermon was preached by
Bishop James Atkins, of Nashville,
Tenn.. who at its conclusion formally
accepted the tender of the building
to the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. A feature of the service was
the raising of the balance due on the
church, which was done by the pas
tor. Rev. J. P. Wardlaw, in a short
time.
“One of the happiest dreams of my
life Is now coming to pass," said Dr.
Wardlaw, and then he Introduced
Bishop Atkins, who after expressing
his pleasure at being present, an
nounced for his text Luke 4: 44:
"And he preached in the synagogue
of Galilee.”
Evolution of Worship-Place |
The speaker discussed the evolu
tion of the worship-place of God from
the open forest to the finished church,
such as the one he was about to ded
icate. In early times the open cano
py of the Heavens was the covering
and the bare earth the floor.
Then came the Temple of which
God drew the plans and designated
the material. Everybody contributed
to the building. "While I am no pol
itician," said the speaker," the Bible
is the most divinely Democratic book
ever written. The building of the
Temple was carried on so that no one
had an excuse for failing to contrib-
tribute except that they just didn’t
want to."
But there came a time when the
Tabernncle did not servo the purpose
of the Children of Israel. So another
revelation came to build the great
temple at Jerusalem. This was the
greatest of all, and typified the na
tional unification. "In every church
there Is a holy of Holies," declared
Dr. Atkins, “which man must re
gard with reverence. I have seen
people come into the House of God
wearing their hats until they were
half way down the aisle. I am as far
from worshiping stone, wood or ma
terial as anybody, but there Is some
thing reverential and wonderful in
the fact that God asks from man and
accepts, a place for His residence. I
cannot come six feet in that door
with my hat oh, even when the
church is empty of people. Anv man
who destroys reverence In the voung
for their elders and sacred tilings is
deliberately undermining our civiliz
ation. The Holy of Holies will be the
saving salt. May It abide forever!
Synagogue and Church
The next step In the development
of the Divine idea was the synagogue,
and after that came the Christian
church. "The Christian church now
stands for religion Just as solidly as
the school stands for education." said
the speaker.” or the banks stand for
banking. Whoever contributes tc
the building of such an institution
transfers a part of his substance ti
God. The man who puts n dollar In
. t0 , n t *! ,rch makea ‘hat dollar Imrnor
tal. The conditions are provided
whereby man shall he made acquaint-
ed with God. This money becomes In
a sense an actual immortal realty
Heap not up treasures upon earth
Become a stockholder with the Infln
Ite. Go build churches, aid thefath
erless and motherless, help widow
and orphan.
"By contributing to the building of
this church, or nny church, you will
make possible a train of Influence, and
the credit will He at the feet of the
man who made It possible. And dls-
credit lies at the feet of men who neg-
*** heI P humanity through the
building of a church.
Compliments Americas Church.
“This Is truly one of the loveliest
church buildings I have ever seen,
was here a year' or more ago, and
since that time I have carried mem
ories of this church with me and have
frequently spoken of the liberality of
the people of Americus In building
such a house for the worship of God
By the building of such a temple, you
have made possible the saving of
souls which otherwise would have
been dammed.
'' A n<t I say to you do not fall to get
the benefit which comes from your
giving. This temple will be multi
plied Into many more temples. This
transmutation of gold Into divine re
alties gives you a place of acceptance
as a coworker with God. and this Is
the most beautiful aspect of the case.
Gods blessings upon you and your
household.”
liaised Over $1,200.
At the close of the sermon Dr.
Wardlaw announced that there was
yet to bo collected on the church a
deficit of $1,245.45, and called for sub*
script Ions. A number of responses
of $100 were made, and from that sum
down to $5, they were received. Fin
ally all was raised except a little over
$100, which was contributed by one
of the members aud Dr. Wardlaw an
nounced that the church was freed
from debt.
‘ I had rather take up a collection
from these people than any people I
ever saw,” Bald Dr. Wardlaw. He al
so referred to a remark made by a
preacher at a recent Conference to the
effect that if he was not removed
from Americus he would have the
members contribute all their money
to the church. He denied that there
was any danger of this, and praised
the congregation for their liberality.
Formally Dedicated.
The church was then formally giv
en to the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, nnd accepted by Bishop At*
kins In the name of the church. The
Impressive dedication services of the
church were then read, and prayer
offered.
At night Presiding Elder Johnstone
of the Americus district, conducted
the services.
