Dr. Lewis C. Branscomb One
of South’s Leading Methodists
Minister Now Conducting
Revival at St. James Has
Been Important Factor In
Growth of Church Dr.
Branscomb Has Interesting
Family
Dr. Lewis Capers Branscomb,
visiting minister In Augusta, who is
conducting the series of revival
meetings now in progress at St.
James Methodist church, is one of
the leading factors in Southern
Methodism and one of the most in
fluential and eloquent ministers In
the denomination.
Both In and out of the pulpit Doc
tor Branscomb is a magnetic per
sonality embodying a deep under
standing of humanity gained
through his contact as layman and
minister with its every phase. Thus
equipped he carries within his heart
a sincere and earnest sympathy for
those of life's wayfarers whose feet,
have not trod in so pleasant places
as some of the more fortunate: and
for such as these Doctor Brans
comb has a word of encouragement
and uplift that Is heartening.
Of deeply sympathetic nature and
generous disposition of heart
though he Is, when it comes to com
bating evil Doctor Branscomb Is
fiercely militant and firm. His
sermons are pregnant with lovo
for the right and 'for humanity, and
at the samo time are filled to over
flowing with scathing denuncia
tion of sin and mankind's derelic
tions.
Doctor Branscomb. was born at
Union Springs, Alabama, August
27, 1865 and has spent the years of
his ministry among the people of
his state, though tempted at times
to respond to distant calls. He feels
that his work Is best done among
his own people and that among
them he may the more efficiently
and successfully labor in his sacred
calling. He is thoroughly consecrat
ed and devoted to his work among
men and Is untiring In his efforts
to make hie life a blessing to oth
ers.
HAS DEGREE FROM
EMORY COLLEGE
He received the latter part of his
education at the Southern Univer
sity, Greensboro, Ala., graduating
from that Institution with the de
gree of A. M., in 1886, and Joined
the North Alabama Conference the
same year. The degree of D. D. was
conferred on him by Emory Col
lege, at Oxford, Georgia, In 1909.
Doctor Branscomb has held some
of the leading Methodist pastorates
!n his state, and 1* at this time pas
tor of the First Methodist church at
Anniston, Ala. Other pastorates
held by him have been at Besse
mer. Decatur, Huntsville, Tallade
ga: the first Church at Birming
ham; and he was presiding elder of
the Birmingham district for four
years. 1912-1916. He was called to
be editor of the Methodist state
paper, The A’abama Christian Ad
vocate and held this position for
six and one-half years. During his
connection with the paper as editor
Its circulation was advanced from
about 8.000 to near 25,000; and on
his leaving the paper to take up
pastoral charges left vacant by the
advancement of Dr. Hoyt Dobbs to
the bishopric in 1922, the Christian
Advocate was In flourishing condi
tion.
Doctor Branscomb enjoys the dis
tinction of having been a member
of the past four general confer
ences of the Methodist Church.

What Is Americanization ?
The word “Americanization" lias
fallen under a shadow because It
lias been used too frequently as a
cant phrase, hut It Is too good a
word to be relegated to the limbo
of discredited terminology.
What does It mean? Not merely
an ability to read and write the
English language and to understand
all the modus operandl of the
American government, with a smat
tering of the Declaration of Inde
pendence and the Constitution.
There are unnumbered American
citizens of both native and foreign
birth who know all these things
and more and yet fall far short of
being good American citizens.
To be an American In truth is to
have an understanding of Ameri
can tradition and American history,
whereby there has been developed
upon this continent a new social
order different from and better than
any social organization that his
tory has known, distinctive because
for the first time here is a social
order dedicated to justice,, liberty,
brotherhood and righteoudsness. It
means further, a profound appre
ciation of those principles find of
that spirit that has made this na
tion great, not only in population
but In moral force and spiritual
Ideals.
When a man of foreign birth or
ancestry assumes the obligations
of the American citizen he by that
act specifically repudiates the cul
ture and Ideals of his fathers Inso
far as that culture and those ideals
conflict with the spirit and pur
poses of the American common
wealth. There can be no divided
allegiance; no other country, no
dual love.
