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.
