Cor. Jackson, and Forsyth Sts, Americus, Ga, FIRST DISCOURSE BY NEW PASTOR Large Audience Heard Rev. Bascom Anthony Sunday. An audience which comfortably filled the auditorium of the First Me thodist church greeted the new pas tor, Rev. Bascom Anthony, yesteTday morning. His theme was "Tho Suf ficiency of Christ.” The text was from Col. 3:11: "Christ Is all.” The speaker held up Christ as the one who would draw all men unto Him. Christianity was not a creed nor a system of ethics, but a person, Jesus Christ. The only way, said the speaker, to live a Christian life was to know Christ. The rest fol lowed as a natural sequence. Therein lay Christianity's power. Christian philanthropy was the working out of the personality of Christ His teach ings were nearly all found In em- broyo fn the Old Testament, but it was the life He lived which drew mankind. The sermon was enlivened by apt illustration, pathos and pleasantry combining to interest and hold the attention. The discourse was well received by the congregation, and after the sermon many expressions of approval,were heard. • , Obedience is better than sacrifice. —Shakespeare.
