Rev. Mr.. Perry filled the Presbyterian
pulpit last Sunday. Immediately after
the morning service, church meeting was
held, and Rev. J. H. Patton, of jackson.
vile, Ala, was unanimously called to the
pastorate of the Presbyterian Church here.
1t is hoped Mr.. Patton will accept. He
is 81 years old and has wife. He is a man
Of ability and fine speaker. He preach
ed here few Sundays ago and made a
fine impression.
Rev. ]. A. Burrows held his last service
at the Methodist Church on last Thursday
night The congregation was almost equal
in numbers, to the one Sunday night. 1t
was an hour of power. Not often do we
see such congregation so deeply and
seriously impressed. Mr.. B. left for his
home Friday morning. Quite a number
of our best people were at the depot to see
him off and bid him God speed in his
work. He did grand work for God and
His people, during his short stay. He
completely won the hearts of all who at
tended upon his ministry. and he carried
with him their sympathy, Christian love,
faith and prayers. We say God bless the
dear young man.
Rev. j. A. Wynne. pastor of the Baptist
Church, led the service Friday morning.
There was fine attendance and good
meeting. Mr.. Wynne's subject was well
chosen, and we'll presented. All felt the
power OF the truth.
Let our Methodist friends remember
that the District Meeting Of the W. NJ. s.
will open its session Saturday morning a
clock. Mrs. Austin will make the ad
dress of welcome. We are authorized t.
extend cordial Invitation to ALL especial

to show to these visitors that Marietta
reputation for enjoyment and appreciation
of good things, is not mere name but a
substantial fact.
The sweet spirit OF oneness in Christ was
manifest throughout the revival services at
the Methodist Church. Many members OF
the Baptist and Presbyterian Churches
not only attended regularly, but in work
and spirit, were one with their Methodist
neighbors and friends This is as it should
be. No one thing, perhaps, can DO more
harm than the abhorent spirit of exclusive
ness and an assumption OF superiority, in
church life. Stand thou there come not
near me. am better than thou art, !"
The revival services at the Methods
Church closed Friday night. Rev. j. A
Wynne preaching and leading the meeting
There was good attendance and sustain
ed interest to the last. The visible results

below expectations. But the meeting die
much good. III it's quickening influences
on Christians, and deep impressions or
the world was far reaching and permanent
The meeting beginning on Sabbath the 23C
ult. went on gathering strength thirteen
days. There were twenty six sermons
and two special meetings. Of the twenty
six sermons, Rev. Mr.. Burrows preached
twenty>one, and not an Indifferent or Sec
ond >rate> one Of them all Mr.. Burrows is
a young man of spirit and rare gifts His
work and influence, in Marietta, will bear
fruit, on into the years to come. May our
God bless him and keep him in health and
strength.
The Methodist pastor was called again to
assist in revival work On the Powder
Springs charge. This time he could res
spond and left on Monday to be with the
pastor and people there, two or three days.
We did not know until Sabbath after>
noon that DR.. II. G. Morrison could be
with us on Sabbath next The pastor un-
derstood him to say he would be out of the
State. We are glad that the Doctor can
be with US. His presence and preaching
will help to magnify the North Atlanta
District meeting of the Woman's Missionary
Society.
Now if our people want to hear preach
ing of the highest type, let them hear DR..
Morrison. He is not only learned, and
eloquent, but deeply spiritual. He will

day.
We know it was a source of regret to
Mr.. Dawes, that he could not respond to
the call of Mr.. Colley, for weeks prea CHI
ing at Woodstock, beginning next Monday.
We know enough to know, that Mr.. d. in
his visit to that people during the camp
meeting, was fully won by them He
