Dr. Newton.
Rev. J.C.C.Newton, D.D., of
Kobe, Japan, spoke twice at the
Methodist Church last Sunday.
In the morning, he preached
from the text, ‘ ‘Freely ye have
received, freely give,” a strong,
practical, informing, inspiring
sermon. At night, the doctor
delivered a lecture on “Condi
tions in the Orient.” The ad
dress was the deliverance of a
Christian statesman, — strong,
comprehensive and thoughtful.
It clearly showed that the win
ing of this world to Christ is no
child’s play, but a piece of work
that will require all the energy,
the consecration, the faith and
he self-sacrifice that the church
can command, coupled with the
might of the power of the Spirit
of God. While presenting the
difficulties of the work in the Or
ient, the address was optimistic.
While there are many adversa
ries, that ancient promise “I will
give the heathen for thine inher
itance and the uttermost parts of
the earth for thy possession”
standeth sure and will finally be
fulfilled.;
In his introduction of Dr.New
ton, the pastor, announced that
the committee to which the mat
ter of selection had. been left had
decided to accept Dr. Newton as
one of the two representatives
of the Cairo Church, in the for
eign field and 2 that the other
would be Rev. W. P. Turner, a
member of the North Georgia
Conference, who is now Super
intendent of the Hiroshima < Dis
trict, in Japan. Mr. Turner has
been in Japan for about eighteen
years. Henceforth, these two,
Dr. J.C.C.Newton and Rey.W.P.
Turner, will be the representa
tives of the Cairo Methodist
Church in the missionary work.
These brethren will be the living
inks that will connect the local
source of
inspiration to the church, while
they will be the objects of the
prayers, the interest and the
sympaty of the Christians on
this side of the world.
Dr. Newton left for Atlanta
Monday at noon and will leave
there for Japan the 25th inst. for
another term of seven years.

She Holds Her Own.
Mrs. M. A. Roddenbery, who
has recently been quite feeble, is
improving.
Mrs. R'. is a very remarkable
woman. :. This writer remembers
that, for many months.! in ’ suc
cession, thirty four years ago, she
lay upon her bed, in this town,
in a helpless, ahd . apparently
hopeless condition, the despair
of her excellent physicians, among
whom was her husband, one of
the very best in the land—but
she rose up and has spent a
generation’s life of abundant
usefulness, outliving all the
doctors and most of the other
people of her day. Long may
she yet continue to live, a bene
diction an da blessing to all who
are brought into association with
her.

gies and wagons and we are now
offering them to the public at
