METHODIST
MINISTERS
A Paragraph of Praise for Each of
Those who
HAVE SERVED IN ROME
c or the Pasi Year- Conference
Convenes Here Next Month
and Bishop Haygood,
the Self Made man
Will Preside
In view of the forthcoming annu
al conference which conveins in
Rome next month, a few words
■about Methodist ministers will not
be out of season. It is never known
v hero a Methodist preacher will be
sent, or when the change will oc
cur.’No doubt there will be a
dumber of changes among the
preachers of the Rome District,
at least some.
t I t
Much good work has been done
during the past year by the faith
ful men of God assigned to this
field of service. Revival fires have
blazed throughout the entire dis
trict and many souls have been
b f ,m into the Kingdom of God.
No where this side of eternity can
t he good done be rightly esti
mated. Such work grows not dim
by rhe elapse' of time but becomes
more and more beautifully bright
as time passes in to eternity. More
enduring than bra ss and loftier
than the regal majesty of the pyr
amids.
tit
The Conference in question will
be presided over by Bishop A. G.
Haygood, one of the braniest inec
connected with Southern Method
ism. His magnificent mind has
given to the church of God many
great plans and grand concep
tions. He is no stranger in Geor
gia. noris he unknown or unloved
in Rome. He is, strickly speaking,
a grand man. Commencing life an
humble struggling boy, he worked
his way to the front, rendering
God and humanity his best ser
vice, and now he stands upon em
inance where he reflects the Gos
pel light upon the church at large,
t I t
Rev. Thomas F. Pierce, the
able Presiding Elder of the Rome
district, needs no introducing or
words of praise from my feeble
pen. The mere name is immortal.
He is the son of the grand old Dr.
Lovic Pierce of saintly memory
who preached the Gospel in Geor
gia over seventy years . His broth
er Bishop George Foster Pierce has
gone to his reward, was a man of
prominent ability and eloquence.
Presiding Elder Pferce has done
great service to the church, and
this year his district has presper
■•ed.
I I f
Rev. Joel T Gibson, D D , of
First church, stands breast to
Breast with any man in the North
' Georgia Conference. He is honor
ed and !®ved by all and as a speak
er he is almost matchless. His
lovely Christian virtues at once
enshrines living in the hearts of
his congregations, and to love and
admire him is but to know him.
1 nder his able ministrations the
First church has prospered. All
hope sincerely for his return.
t I t
Rev. Geo. W. Duvall has served
Second church three years and he
has made them a fine pastor. Ever
about his Masters business he has
added many to the church and re
claimed many who had wandered
from the tender Shepherds fold.
His members love him and are ev-
f ‘ r with him in every good word
and wonk. It is feared the Bishop
will not return him for another
year.
-t I i
Third church which has been so
ably and faithfully served by that
sweet spirited man, Rev W. S.
Stevens, has made great advance
ment during the year, and if they
loose him at the next conference
bey will loose a gem in the ser-
Vlce °f the Lord. His marked con-
H, < ration, his scholarly sermons
and Ilia Christly spirit
acterised him in all his ministra
tions.

East Rome circuit under the pas
torate of Rev. M. L. Troutman has
made much improvement. Mr.
1 routman has evidenced to the
world and the church that he is
commissioned of God to proclaim
his eternal \\ ord, by the manner
in which he reaches the consciences
of men. No man ever espoused the
ministry with brighter prospects
than glie. Consecrated, able and
eloqui nt, he holds his hearers en
raptured from first to last. He will
enter Conference.
I I I
Bev. Joseph A. I.ewell is known
throughout the conference as a
great worker ana an earnest, logi
cal speaker and agood pastor. His
pastorate of the North Rome cir
cuit, this year has been a most
prosperous one. Many souls have
been brought to the Savior, ready
and able and willing to save.
Rev. S. A. Hairlo, better known
as “Gus,” has made the Rome
circuit one of the most efficient'
pastors it has ever had. He is ever
on fire with love for God and his
work and the church has
prospered in his hands.
Among his “own people” he has
faithfully broken to them the
bread of eternal life, and all hope
for his return.
+ I I
Among those who will seek en
terence into Conference at its next
session are Revs. J. W. Bale, 0. L.
Millican am) E. N. Jones. Each
of these are young men who seem
ingly have sparkling!
futures in the service of the jLord.
As local ministers they have
made faithful “watchmen on
Zion's walls” and we bespeak for
them a life fraught; with sweet in
fluence and good works. Yes, God
has blessed the churches in Rome
this year, and the Jthings which
dimness of time obscures shall be
revealed bv the light of eternity, |
the names of those faithful men
of God shall be written, not on
tablets of bronze or stone, but on
‘‘the fedily tablets of the heart
ane unfading pages of the soul.”

Versailles is about an hov. s
