The exercises at the First Methodist
church, last Sunday morning were ex
ceedingly interesting- to the very large
congregation that attended; The.
meeting was specially designed to re
ceive reports of the pastyears work.
We regret that we haven’t room to give
a detailed statement of the various
reports, yet we will say that they were,
as a whole, very encouraging indeed,
and showed the church add its work to
be in a healthy, progressive and alto
gether promising condition. The chair
men of the various committees and the
heads of the different organizations of
the church, engaged in missions, domes
tic and foreign, and other enterprises
immediately connected, with and di
rected by the pastor and board of
stewards, though brief were read out in
such a clear and distinct manner that
every one in the large audience could
hear them.
The running comments of pastor
White, as each report was concluded
contributed greatly to the excellent
impression made. by them on every
hearer. At the summing up of ail these
matters by Mr. White in his own felic
itous way, the grand result was ex
ceedingly gratifying to every one
present and especially to the members
of his congregation, save perhaps, to
those who had not contributed any-,
thing to this altogether cheering and
eminently gratifying result.
The aggregate of additions to the
membership of the church during the
year amounted to something over one
hundred—bat losses by deaths, re
movals, etc., reduced this to some
extent. - — -
The pastors report showed further,
that the contributions from all services
aggregated something over $2,500, as
against about $1,700 contributed last
year, which is a very good showing
indeed and speaks well for the liber
ality and energy of these earnest and
devoted Christian workers as well as
for the executive ability and effective
work and consecrated energy of the
preacher in charge.
Mr. White has certainly proved him
self to be the tight man in the right
place and is tobe heartily congratulated
over the splendid showing he will
make at conference. In common with
his numerous parishioners we sincerely
hope the bishop may find it agreeable
to return Mr. White to the First Meth
odist church the ensuing year. Verily
the Methodists of Gainesville have
great reason to offer a heartfelt thanks
giving to God for the signal blessings
he has bestowed on them, as a church,
during the past vear.
At the First Baptist church, Rev. J.
A.. Wynne preached at the morning and
evening services, both of which were

Thankful That Allen Candler Will be

“Wfeat have I to be thankful for?”
said Col. * Ht W. J. Ham, “that is a big
question. There are - so many things
look came into his
mountains, “that I am thankful weare
not going* to have to draft a man tc
represent us in Congress next time.”
And then as he smiled, we said:
“Is that a joke?” # •-
“That’s no joke,” he answered) “thank
the Lord, patriotism is not yet dead, in
the ninth district, at least. ”
‘tBut- honestly, I am thankful that
Allen Candler will be elected Governor
next year, that the democrats will
elect the house and senate, and that
three years afterwards Bryan and Van
Wyck will be nominated and elected
on a -tree silver platform, and we shall
have* an end: to McKinley, high tariff,
trust prosperity so-called, and get a
little of the real article for the com
mon folks.”
“Will yon be in politics next year?”
“Bight in the thick of it,” said the
colonel, “unless I have lost the twist
of the wrist with which it is done, but
only for my friends. I don’t want any
thing for myself.”
and I am thankful that He is bigger
than all the parties and politicians. I
am thankful that the best people are
still in the majority, that the country
is safe and its future is bright.”

Prof. VanHoose is Thankful for the Great
and Good Seminary,
You ask me to state why I am thank
ful today. From a personal standpoint
I am glad and thankful that the Semi
nary with which I have beeu connected
for twelve years is enjoying the most
prosperous year in its history, that we
have a harmonious, united faculty,that
the girls are doing good work and that
through God’s goodness and Dr. Bailey’s
physic our family of nearly 150 people
are well and happy.
In a broader sense, I am thankfulfor
the general prosperity that is blessing
the country, for, notwithstanding the
fact that we all talk hard times, there
has never been a time .in our history
when people had so much to eat, such
good clothes to wear, such pleasant
homes in which to live, so many and
such excellent schools, and a time when
the gospel of Christ reached earth’s
remotest bounds to such an extent as
in this year of grace 1897. For all of
which I am deeply grateful.

All Can Make a Good Idvingr Without Get

Personally, above all things tem
poral, I thank kind P^ovidence that my
lot was cast in North Georgia. All the
people of this land should thank God
continually for the blessings of this
climate, the pure air, and the un
failing supply of good water, where,
by industry and frugality, and the
abiding blessings of Providence, all
nan make a good living, without getting
rich and, always have something to
give to the poor. Let ns all thank God

continually.
Grateful for Civil and Religious Liberty
We En]or>
Many may ask for what should I be
grateful? I answer that we should be
grateful for life and for health, for
food, for raiment and for friends. We
should be grateful for the civil and
religious liberty we are enjoying, and
that while other nations are suffering
from war and bloodshed, the United
States is at peace with all the nations
of the earth. :
In all of these blesssings we should
recognize the Divine hand, should cul
tivate the spirit of humble thanksgiv
ing, and should constantly endeavor to
show our gratitude in word and. in
action. A. Van Hoose.
