DRUID HILLS M. E.
CHURCH OPENS; OLD
BELL HEARD AGAIN
The new Druid Hills Methodist
church was opened yesterday morning
at 11 o'clock, and the church today was
pronounced one of the most beautiful
edifices in the city.
After many months of silence, old
Trinity Methodist church’s bell pealed
forth in its familiar tones a call to
services yesterday morning. But the
call was not to Trinity church. That
. old structure is being torn away. The
Druid Hills church has the old bell of
1 rinity church, the bell being one of
the few things left undisturbed when
Sherman passed through Atlanta in
1864.
Bishop Warren A. Candler delivered
the opening sermon. His text was: “I
i am not ashamed of the Gospel of
Christ. Dr. W. P. Lovejoy, presiding
elder of the Atlanta district; Dr. W. C,
• Lovett, editor of The Wesleyan Chris
’ tian Advocate; Dr. John S. Jenkins and
; Rev. H. J. Ellis were other ministers
[ present. A special musical program
was rendered by the cfiioir, with the
i accompaniments played on the pipe or-
I gan to the purchase of which Andrew
“ Carnegie contributed.

Seminole and Blue Ridge avenues.
, a wonderful stomach, liver and bowel
cleanser, regulator and tonic. the
safest and most positive ever*devised.
The day of violent purgatives, such as
. calomel, pills, salts and castor oil. is
> past. They were all wrong. You got
I relief, but at what a cost! They acted
by flooding the bowels with fluids, but
these fluids weie digestive juices. Syrup
of Figs embodies only harmless laxa-
I lives, which act in a natural way. It
does what right food would do—w hat
eating lots of fruit and what plenty of
t exercise will do for the liver, stomach
and bowels.
Re sure you get the old reliable and

Syrup Company. Hand back, with
scorn, any Fig Syrup imitation recom
