In prime good fellowship the pas
tors of the various churches of the
city and members of the different
congregations Thursday night met at
the First Baptist church to welcome
the new pastor, Dr. Lansing Bur
rows. Seated in the ^pulpit were
Revs. J. L. Irvin, Bascom Anthony, J.
B. Lawrence and R. L. Bivins. Mr.
! J. A. Ansley, one of the dencons of
the church, presided.
Many expressions of pleasure at
having Dr. Burrows In Amcricus were
uttered, and In turn the new-comer
expressed Ills very great pleasure at
casting his lot in with such a people
as previous speakers described this
community to be composed of .Little
of formality marked—or marred—the
occasion, the brotherly spirit being In
the ascendancy front me very first.
After scripture reading by Rev. J.
B. Lawrence and prayer by Rfev. J.
L Irvin, Dr. Bascont Anthony was
called on to respond to the theme,
“Welcome to the Community." He
began in a happy vein, and having
admired Dr. Burrows when both
were younger men, the speaker wove
much of the personal touch Into his
remarks. He spoke of having read
when a young minister a sermon writ
ten by Dr. Burrows in a church pa
per and was much Impressed by it. He
had also later read in the Augusta
Chronicle accounts of the sermons de
livered in that city, while the speak
er was Ailing a pulpit some forty
miles distant.
Dr. Anthony related one Incident In
the life of Dr. Burrows which had
stuck with hint for many years. It
appeared that a Presbyterian minis
ter had a prospective member who de
sired to be Immersea', and Dr. Plun-
ket, the preacher, wrote to Dr. Bur
rows asking if he would immerse the
candidate and then let the candidate
Join the Presbyterian church. To
this request Dr. Burrows returned the
reply that "the Baptist church is not
taking In washing."
Pleasure was experienced by the
speaker when It was announced that
Dr. Burrows was to come to Ameri
cas, “You will And this ns decent,
lawnhiding, quiet and upright a
community, ns It has ever been my
good fortune to live in," said Dr.
Anthony. "Not as religious as some
folks, but orderly, nothing flaunting,
brazen or bold. Coming into Amerl-
cus Is like coming Into a heaven after
a storm. It is a God-send to live in
a community like this.
"In the name of the pastors of the
city I hid you welcome.”

Welcome to All Denominations"
was the thought expressed by Rev. J.
I,. Irvin. He expressed the pleasure
of the ministry and congregations of
the clt yat having Dr. Burrows here.
Ho was glad that the people were to
have the beneAt of the counsel of the
new pastor. Christian cooperation
was declared to be in the air, the
tendency of the various denominations
being to get closer together. The
problems in Amerlcus could only be
solved by all of the churches working
together. "I voice the sentiments of
the Christian people of this town in
expressing our sincere greeting to
you.” said Dr. Irvin in conclusion.
Rev. R. I,. Bivins, in the absence ol
Dr. Jameson, of Macon, welcomed Dr.
Burrows both to Georgia and to the
Friendship Associntiou in a few well
chosen remarks. The hope wns ex
pressed that Dr. Burrows would rc-
inalu here, ns Amerlcus was n good
place to go to henven from.

Responding to these welcomes, Dr.
Burrows stroke of his great pleasure
in getting back to Georgia, which he
called his home. He was not able to
explain how he came to Amerlcus, as
he did not know that he was known
personally or by reputation in this
city. The coll had been a most un
usual one, uud he had only in mind
the sentiment that "the Master
knows." What his work was to be
here he could not say, except that It
would lie single to divine glory and
the uplifting of human souls. It was
God's hand leading him. He was glad
I to know that the heavy trials which
| weighed 1 npastorates in uptown
churches in cities was wanting. He
had enjoyed his Ilrst unbroken sleep
for years since coming here.
"I am deeply moved by the kindly
expressions this evening.” he con
tinued. “I have found them on ev
ery hand. The best type of Christian
manhood is to be found In Georgia.
I cannot forecast the future. Mine
is not the prophet’s office. But I in
vite alt to Join in the work of uplift
ing humanity.”
At the conclusion of Dr. Barrows
talk the right hand of fellowship was
extended to the ministers, as well as
to Dr. Burrows.
Wlra monument will he
Anal resting place by a special
slon of the Georgia division. United
Daughters of the Confederacy
held at Atlanta on March 11. The
official call has been Issued by Miss
Baxter, the state President. .
The call says in part:
To the Georgia Division. U. D. C.:
At the request of sixty-six chapters
of the Georgia Division. U. D. C„ the
executive board of the division calls
an extra session to consider
fully the location of the Wirz
ment. and. hy invitation of the
ta chapter, your president calls this
session to meet at Atlanta in the as
sembly room of the Piedmont hotel
Thursday morning, March 11, at
o'clock, for action regarding the
ument, as the convention Is called
no other purpose, and therefore wo
put the adjournment or the session at
4 o'clock in the afternoon. Accord
ing to our constitution, “Each chap
ter is entitled to one representative
for every twenty-Ave members, or
fraction thereof, not less than seven.
Any one or more delegates can cast
the whole vote of the chapter.” It
has been recommended that one dele
gate cast the vote of the entire chap
ter at this convention. Seeking to
promote general representation, the
Atlanta chapter cordially invites, as
guests, officers of the division, stand
ing chairmen and one delegate from
each chapter in the state, and, to
further the Interest of all chapters
desiring to send a full quota of dele
gates, our entertaining chapter h.ia
secured special rates at the Majestic
hotel.
As president. I should be glnd to
have ns full attendance at tills con
vention as at our regular meetings
and urge that you send at least one
delegate from each chapter. even
though you pay the railroad expenses
of such delegates.
The delegate question brings up an
important point concerning which, as
president. I venture a suggestion.
Since there is much division of opin
ion as to location or the Wirz monu
ment, I recommed that you give your
delegate, or delegates, full counsel
as to your choice, but leave them with
power of discretion when they
soluble in convention.
It will be recalled that at the last
stnle convention of U. DC.,at Savan
nah in October, it was voted to
drop Andersonvllle as a site. Amerl
cus and .Macon engaged in u friendly
dispute over the location, each city
bidding for the honor. After the con
vention had been extended two days
over the original time, and when a
number of the delegates had gone
home, the majority of those present
voted to send the monument to Rich
mond.
When the delegates got back home
and the excitement of the occasion had
faded, it was realized hy many that
it would be a serious mistake to send I
the monument out of Georgia, to be
placed where its slguIAcance would
be lost and where Its modesty would
almost hide It away In such a wealth
of larger memorials in stone.
The credit of bringing about the
coming convention is due to the ini
tiatlve of Mrs. W. D. Lamar of Ma
con, ably seconded hy other pronil
nent members. The Amerlcus chap
ter was responsible for changing the
monument from Andersonvllle, but
the leaders here were so worn out
with the strife over the shaft that It
was thought that the work of secur
lug another convention should be
left to others.
Of course it is not imirossihie that
Andersonvllle should he again chosen
as there is a large faction for that
Place Arst, last and all the time. And
there Is a hare possibility that Rich
mond may be conArnied. Amerlcus
has the strongest claim on the monu
ment, outside of Andersonvllle. which
has objections more forceful than
Its claims. Macon of course, will ask
for the monument, with Atlanta al
ways In a receptive mood.
Anyhow, it will he a reller to
have the site settled Anally. There
Is only one subject before the coming
convention, and unless a deadlock
occurs, it is expected that the de
cision can lio reached In a few hours.
