a correspondent of the Hartwell (Gs.)
Sun in writing an account of the closing
exercises of the John Gibson Institute at
B,wman, Ca, says: "The baccalaureate
sermon on Sunday was preached by that
matchless orator, Rev. o l.. Martin, of
Anderson, s G. His subject was "Cuba
and the Brotherhood of Nations" The
sermon was an unusual one. Rarely, if
ever, have we seen great congregation so
swayed by the eloquence of man. One
could not but feel that there we're present
the perfect trinity OF grand cccasion-a
great audience, great SUBJECT, and great
man. The representative minds OF Est
Georgia pronounce the sermon the most
powerful one ever heard in this section Of
country"
