masterpieces. Mr., James T. Gray, Atlanta,

-REv. DIR. Tucker, Chancellor the State
University, delivered two very able sermons in
this place last Sunday, one in the morning at
the Presbyterian church, aud the other in the
evening at the Baptist Church On each oc
casion large congregation was present. The
sermons were productions of remarkable clear
ness, profound erudition and irrefutable CON
clusions-truths that established the divine au-
thenticity of the Bible, and strengthened ones
faitI, in the life aud death and resurrection Of
Christ. Such sermons tend to sweep infidelity
and skepticisnl from the hearts of the people;
DIR. Tucker has many friends and admirers
here who were greatly delighted with his dis
courses. After the morning sermon. the Cobb
County Bible Society held its annual meeting
during which reports were read by Rev. l. X.
Branham Chairman, and William Root, Treas
urer. The usual collection was taken up, after
which the following officers were elected =
Rev. I. r. fBranham, President; Rev. ID. l..
Buttolph, President; w. F. Groves. Soc
rotary, and William Root, Treasurer. Execu-
tive Committee: Rev w. +. eileen, DIR. L. 81
