CHURCH CHATAUQUA GLOSES
|
T :
STRONG SERMONS AND ADDRESS-i
ES WERE DELIVERED. |
nawson Has Assumed the Support
of Another Foreign Missionary,
Making Five in Which Metho
dist Church Is Interested.
The chautauqua at the Methodist
c¢hurch so auspiciously begun con
tinued with increasing interest
through the past week, the only in
terruption being on Tuesday even
ing, when Prof. K, AL Pound of
waycross was advertised to speak
on “God’s Call to . Men.® There
was a steady downpour of rain, and
¢nly a small number braved the
weather. At the request of the pas
tor Prof. Pound changed his subject,
¢peaking as eloquently and force
fully on “The Splendors of the Bi
tle” as though there had been thou
¢ands present. His word painting
as he gave a history of the Bible
coming down through the ages, de
fving storm and flood, the fierce as
caults of its enemies, the ravages of
war and panic, made a thrilling
story, and those who were privileged
to enjoy this literary gem hope that
Prof. Pound may again be heard in
Dawson.
On “The Fundamentals of Metho
dism” Rev. Bascom Anthony of
Americus on Wednesday evening de-
Jighted a large audience, and in his
inimitable style impressed upon his
hearers many important historic
facts. He showed how great a fac
tor was John Wesley in moulding
the thougnt and shaping the history
of England and America, declaring
that the part he played in the af
fairs of the nation saved England
from a reign of terror such as
drenched France with blood. He
traced Methodism back to its basic
principle, ‘““the manifestation of the
living God in the soul of man,” de
claring that the church does not live
on eternal decrees nor modes of bap
tism, but builds upon the direct work
of the living God in the human
soul. He deplored the fact that
scrapping over non-essentials was
hindering the spread of gospel truths,
and pictured in glowing terms the
oming of a glad day when all the
churches shall unite on the one es
sential foundation stone—faith in
Jesus Christ and the witness of the
Spirit.
Spoke on Mode of Baptism.
On Thursday evening Rev. Chas.
7. Clark of Luumpkin spoke on ‘The
Scriptural Mode of Baptism,” treat
ng the ‘subject in such a broad and
Christlike spirit as to give no of
fense to those who entertained differ
ent views. There was no semblance
of bigotry in this discourse, but it
showed careful research and deep
thought, so that the speaker was
“ble on every point under discus
sion to “give a reason for the faith
that was in him” concerning the
=reat truths of the Bible touching
this subject.* Mr. Clark’s admirable
“virit of tolerance made a fine im-
Tession, and his address was list
ned to with the deepest interest.
Miss Johnstone Moved the Audience.
While each number on the pro
~'amme drew large audiences un
sual interest centered in the service
'f Friday evening, when Miss Mary
Johnstone, in a touching manner,
10ld of her call to the foreign field.
The large number of young people
" the vast audience was noticeable,
and a hush fell on the congregation
4 with sweetness and simplicity so
‘écoming in a woman Miss John
‘tone spoke of the inspiration that
‘4d come to her from the lives of a
bodly father and mother, of the

Mrs. J. L. Edwards has
Jst returned from Atlanta,
j""if“l".' she has been attend
g the fall millinery open
ings,
missionary sermons she had heard,
of the influence of her teachers and
other friends who had touched her
life, of how she had become so in
terested in the salvation of the
heathen she had resolved that as she
worked in the home land she would
support a missionary in the foreign
field, and of how the conviction had
come that God did not need her
plans, but wanted her life. She
spoke of the peace that came when
she definitely consecrated herself to
a life'of service on the mission field,
and now as she stood between two
open. doors, one closing upon the
home land and all that it holds dear,
she could with joy unspeakable fol
low the leading of the unseen hand
across the seas to enter the open
door into a new world.
The large congregation, the ma
jority of whom have known Miss
Johnstone from childhood, was deep
ly moved, and many were in tears
when at the conclusion her sisters,
Misses Emma and Alice, sang im
pressively:
Ready to go, ready to stay,
Ready my place to fill;
Ready for service lowly or great,
- Ready to do His will.
Bishop Candler.
The grand climax to the ten days’
of uplifting addresses covering near
ly every phase of church work came
in the services Sunday. The day was
ideal and many visitors from the sur
rounding towns and counties were
present. The Baptist congregation
also helped to swell the crowd, so
that the church was packed, chairs
being placed in the aisles and in all
available space about the chancel.
Under the direction of Mr. J. T. Ra
gan, Jr., a fine musical programme
was rendered, the congregation
joining heartily in singing the old
fashion hymns.
Bishop Candler read the entire
16th chapter of Acts, basing his ser
mon on Paul's vision of the Macedo
nian cry ‘“Come over and help us.”
It would be folly to so much as at
tempt a synopsis of this great dis
course on the cleansing power of the
blood of Christ. The coming of Paul
and Silas under the guiuance of the
Spirit to plant the gospel in Europe,
he declared, was a soul-stirring and
fertile event far more important
than the greatest victories won in
battle or the building of mighty em
pires. With never a note of doubt
Bishop Candler speaks out of the
depth of conviction when he holds
up as the one thing needful for the
restless nations grown sick of rites
and ceremonies of dead religions the
living Christ.
The sermon at the evening ser
vice was from the tenth chapter of
Acts, and was a stirring call for a
forward movement in the evangel
ization of the world.
At the conclusion of the service
Miss Mary Johnstone made a fare
well talk of a few minutes.
The chautauqua has been a suc
cess in every respect, and of im
measurable benefit to the church
and community.
Will Support Another Missionary.
At the conclusion of the services
Sunday evening the pastor, Rev. O.
B. Chester, stated that the church
had subscribed the salary of another
missionary, to go out iw January of
next year. He asked for $6OO for
this purpose, and got something
more than that amount. The Daw
son Methodist church is now repre
sented by five workers in foreign
fields, having assumed the full sal
aries of three, nearly half the salary
of a fourth and $75 of a fifth.
When Dr. Dickey was here the
church contributed about $3OO for
the Allen Memorial Church at Emory
College.
FIRE AT WAREHOUSES.
Two Bales Were Found Burning
Sunday Morning.
A bale of cotton was found on fire
at two of the warehouses in the city
early Sunday morning.
About 7 o’clock the fire depart
ment was called to the warehouse
of B. B. Perry & Co., where a bale
of cotton on the yard was burning,
and a few minutes later another bale
in the yard of A. J. Hill was found
on fire. At both places the fire was
put out before any material damage
was done.
Both bales were brought to Daw
son Saturday morning, and in both
instances the fire was packed in the
cotton at the gin.

‘FIVE BURGLARIES AT SASSER
!I-‘OI’R STORES AND POSTOFFICE
! BROKEN INTO MONDAY NIGHT.
flhmty of the Burglars Embraced a
; Little of Everything. But Small
: Amount of Cash Was Secured.
| Sasser, the thriving little town on
{the Seaboard Air Line railroad six
imiles southeast of Dawson, was vis
'ited by robbers Monday night, and
{the postoffice and four stores bur
[ glarized.
l The stores that were entered by the
burglars are those of W. J. Bowen,
C. C. Anthony & Bro,, A. J. Fore
iman and A. J. McLendon.
How much merchandise was stolen
is not known, but the booty of the
robbers embraced a little of every
thing—dry goods, clothing and gro
ceries. The cash drawer in each of
the stores was broken open, but the
entire amount of money obtained
was insignificant. The largest
!amount of cash they got was at the
postoffice, where about $1.25 was
taken from the drawer.
Sheriff Hill and deputies left for
'Sasser Tuesday morning, and had
not returned at the time of going to
press.
A telephone message from there
to The News stated there was no
lclue at all as to who committed the
robberies.
It is very likely the band of bur
glars who have recently been oper
lating in this section; and have visited
a number of other towns.
BOILER EXPLODED.
Escape Valve Did Not Work Prop
erly, and Something Happened.
The eight-horse power boiler that
Mr. M. N. Brewer was using in
drilling an artesian well for Mr. )
R. Mercer on the Harper place just
east of Dawson exploded Friday
morning.
Although things were knocked
around considerably, the engine
thrown from its foundation about
thirty feet and pieces of iron
scattered around promiscously no
one was hurt. A mule nearby was
knocked down by the shock, but was
not injured.
The explosion was caused by the
escape valve not working properly.
4,000 NEW BALES RECEIVED
Dawson’s Cotton Receipts for August
Beat All Former Records. Mar
ket Is Still Dull.
Up to Tuesday at noon the ware
housemen of Dawson had received
by wagon 3,937 bales of new cotton.
This beats all former records of
receipts in August.
At the time of going to press the
market was still dull and inactive.
though there had been an advance
of a few points since the close the
day before. :
Good middling was quoted at 83
cents and middling at 81 cents.
The government report on the con
‘dition of the crop, issued Tuesday
‘morning, was 76.10.
Fat, juicy No. 1 Bloater Mackerel
only 20 cents at Wall Bros’.
DR. BINION WAS HURT.
Working at His Mill Dam, Which
Cloudburst Washed Away.
In the Benevolence neighborhood
last Saturday night was almost a
cloud burst, washing up roads very
badly. Dr. W. W. Binion’s mill dam
broke, notwithstanding he was at
his mill doing all he could to pre
vent it. In his efforts to save his
dam the doctor fell into a washout
in the dam and sustained painful
injuries. For a time he thought his
arm was broken, but by a careful
examination it developed that it was
only a bad sprain in the wrist. He
came down to Cuthbert Sunday and
had Dr. Patterson dress his arm, and
is getting on all right.—Cuthbert

FOR SUNDAY SELLING.
Merchant Was Fined $6.00 by Mayor
Monday Morning.
George Cumuze, the proprietor of
the New Dawson Cafe, was before
the mayor Monday morning for sell
ing cigars, etc., on Sunday. He was
fined $6.00.
This is the first instance of anyone
being fined for violating the Sunday
ordinance in Dawson in a long while.

Little Folks Enjoy an Excursion. ‘
A very novel and exceedingly en
joyable entertainment of the past
week for the young set was the
‘‘excursion’”’ conducted by little Miss
Bertie Hind at her home on Stone
wall street on Friday afternoon. All
the guests came in traveling cos
tumes with suit caseés and grips. In
a corner of the hall was the ticket
office, where Master Coswell Hind,
the agent, sold tickets. Master Will
Payne was baggage master, and saw
that all baggage was checked. Miss
Alice Patterson, dressed in a suit
of dark brown, with cap and apron,
was matron. The tables for pro
gressive games were numbered with
the names of cities to be visited on
the trip. When the whistle sounded
there was a rush of all passengers
to get aboard, and when all had
reached their destination the gZames
began. During the game the news
butcher made his rounds with pa
pers, candies and fruits. Masters
John Kenyon and John Henry‘
Crouch tied for the boy’s prize, a
lovely tie, and in drawing John Ken-}
von was the lucky one. Miss Ida
Christie won the girl’s prize, a dainty
lace fan. The latter part of the af
ternoon was spent very delightfully
in playing games on the lawn, and
before the guests bade their charm
ing voung hostess goodbye delicious
cream and cake were served.
