A NEW RECTOR.
First Sermon of Rev. e. l.. Fitchett
at Trinity Episcopal Church.

Rey. Charles Lee Fitchett, formerly
of Lansford, Pa, yesterday morhlns
delivered his first sermon as rector Oh
Trinity Episcopal church of TINS CITY,
A large congregation composed IN ma
jority of Episcopalians, assembled 10
hear him. Previous to his sermon the
new rector uttered a plea for the nearly
co-operation of his parishioners, say
ing that his success and the success ol
Che parish depends as much on the lay
men as on the rector. Mr. Fltchett
means to make an aggressive tlght III
the interest of the church and expects
assistance from all.
He chose as the text OF his sermon
part of Exodus, Xvii:12, And Aaron
and Hur stayed up his hands, the one
on the one side ard the other on the
other"
Briefly he said: "My friends. the
church and the world are two antago-
nistic bodies. The two great princes,
the one of darkness and the other OF
light, are lighting for the souls of men
Until every soul bows down in ale
glance to Christ there can be no end to
this war. Christ when he ascended to
heaven left the church militant to car
ry on this fight. 1t is war OF eXter-
minatiUn and every man must do mis-
duty. As in the fight between the
Amalekites and the lsraelites there Is
a place for every one. Joshua fought,
Moses prayed, but still il needed Aaron
and Hur to stay Moses hands in his
WEAKNESS. Hur, as we believe, was
merely O lay man and did not make
excuses when needed. He was willing
to work. Nowadays men get together,
build a church, calls a rector and con-
tribute to his salary, and think they
are done. They fail to see that they
Still have work 20 do upholding their
reCtor's arms. Rector and layman to-
gether can do a vast amount of good.
The layman often has opportunities for
doing good which never come the rec
tors way. "They VINO turn G sinner
from the evil of his ways shall shine
as stars in heaven for ever and ever"
The burden of your duty is to give and
to do. Don't leave the work to the wo-
men. It is your work as well as theirs.
] am sure that with the help of Trim
ity's laymen l can do untold good for
the sake and the glory Of Christ"
Mr.. F'itChett administered the rite Of
holy communion at the morning SER
vice. In the evening he preached an
other excellent sermon to a large and
attentive congregation.

Hon. +. G. duBignOn Says the Time
Has Not Come TO Discuss the Gov
crnOrship.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Ex-senator Fleming G. duBignon was
in Atlanta yesterday, and the subject of
the gubernatorial race was preached to
him many times. From the way In which
men from different parts of the state
walked up and openly declared for him if
he were in the race, a stranger would have
thought that the campaign was on this
year. Mr.. duBignon answered them that
this was an off year and that 1t was en-
tirely too early to start a canvass or to
talk about candidates. 1t will be four
teen months before the regular state cleo
ton will be held. Not only would it be
unbecoming even for one who aspired, to
announce a candidacy now, but 1t would
be wearying to the public.
Mr.. duBignon would not commit him
self on the subject. He remarked that he
did not believe the people cared who were
running now and that ii would be time
enough six months hence to discuss the
subject
one of the editors returning from the
press convention held at Cuthbert last
week and lingering for few days in At
lanta, said that Mr.. duBignon's speech
before the convention made hit. II had
a talk with him while we were down there
and while we did not say anything about
the gubernatorial race, he declared that
the national platform was the law for all
good democrats. IL is their political creed
and he fell In line promptly last year and
he Is stnl in line. He told me that a man
could not refuse 10 accept the platform
and be a good democrat. He certainly
has lots OF friends down In Southwest
Georgia, and you viii find that he has
strong friends all over the state II he does
decide to go In the race"
