THE ERECTION OF THE BOULD-
The placing of the boulder by the
R. E. Lee chapter of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy to mark the
site of The First Methodist church
erected in thi# city, will be one of
the most important events to take
place in Milledgeville in many year*.
It will perpetuate the spot when thit
great religious demm^ination fnft
worth.pped in its early days and
where its leaders gathered to wor.hip

tance and pestification by faith. J M

Bishop Candler stand out today with

exponent of that pure and undefil

world. It is a rare privilege to have
the opportunity to hear him preach,
and the review of the history of
