Sowing and Reaping.

Dear Houscholders: It has been some time
since I visited you and l suspect that most or
the members have forgotten me, but hope you
ali will welcome me back. wish TO say
few words TO young about sowing wild
oats" Death starts upon the track and fol-
lows him idly through the period OF his lusty
planting, and the harvest is reached sooner or
later The crop will correspond with the SEED
sown and, although as In all planting, every
seed does not spring up and mature Tor harvest,
but in this crop you will be apt TO reap more
than you have sown. st. Paul tells US he
not deceived, God is not Knocked for whatsoever
man soeth that shall he also reap.
How true this text lei We cannot SOW a
habit snd not reap the consequences or pun
ishment attached TO the planting OF evil upon
the field OF life. We cannot eradicate the
scars upon conscience, the stain upon the heart,
we have inflicted on others.

METHOD|STS WILL
= MEET IN ATLANTA
North Georgia Conference to Con-
vene in This City for the Sixth
Time in History on November
17-Elaborate Program.

For the sixth time since the first Meth
odist conference of north Georgia gather
ed in Atlanta, in 1867 the members of
that religious body will meet in conven-
ton in this city on November II at st.
Paul's church. 1t is also a significant
fact that the coming conference will be
the second to be presided over by Bishop
Hendrix
The first Georgia conference was held
at Americas in 1866 and at this gath
ering the North and South Georgia con-
ferences arose.. It being found lnadvis-
able to hold a general conference COM
posed of Methodist ministers from every
church in the state, all at one tirAe.
In the year following. Bishop Pierce
called the first North Georgia conference
to order at Wesley chapel, in this city.
TIE next conference that met in At
lanta was held at the First church, Bish-
op Marvin presiding. 1t was at this con-
ference which was held in 1872, that the
famous Sam Jones became an itinerant
Methodist preacher and revivalist.
In 1884 the conference was again held
here in Trinity church, with Bisop Gran
berry, of Virginia, as the presiding officer.
and in 1900 Bishop Hendriv presided over
the conference in the same church. In
1902 Bishop Gambler presided over the
conference at the First church, and this
year Bishop Hendrix will occupy the ex-
ecutive chair. -- FL.
SOME IMPORTANT SUBJECTS.
A matter which will receive considera-
ton and which will be of great import
ance to the delegates is the plan to d.
vide the conference into two bodies, in
order to lessen the demands placed upon
a community in the matter of entertain
ment at places where the conferences are
to be held. 1t has been found that owing
to the fact that the delegates number
more than 400, comparatively few towns
in the state are equipped to properly
meet the strain placed upon them in. the
way of extra accommodations. 1t is the
plan, therefore, to divide the conference,

attending will be

so that the number attending will be
reduced to half.
An elaborate program has been mapped
out for the gathering. in which ample at
tention is paid and space given to all
matters pertaining to the good of th'
church. Two distinguished preachers,
Rev. c. L. Godell, Of New York, and
Rev. ]. C. Kilgo, of North Carolina, have
been secured by the educational board and
both will be heard daily. Rev. Goodell
is pastor of the Calvary STREET church of
New York. and will be vespers preacher
speaking every afternoon at O'Clock
DR.. Kilgo, who has been greatly admired
at Gainesville, will be the speaker for
the anniversary of the educational board.
It is predicted that DR.. Kilgo Is to be
elected a bishop in the Georgia church.
MAY CHANGE CHURCH'S NAME.
A feature of the conference will be the

the name of the church. as recommended
in the Oklahoma City conference. The
national conference at Oklahoma City re-
commended that the name be changed
from the acknowledgements church,

title. other names have been suggested,
but none selected.

siderable attention will be the considera-

DOUBTED THAT REVOLVER WAS
IN GOOD CONDITION, 5AGLEY
DECIDED TO GIVE A DEMON
STRATION.

Arthur BagIey, a soldier from Bar
rancas, was rounded up on TarTagona
street late yesterday afternoon well
under the influence Of liquor He
wanted more before the car left for
the post. but he found he was without
money. At the corner Of Zarragosss
and Tarragona streets he met negro
and offered to sell him fine revolver
The negro hesitatd, thinking the gun
was rather cheap Bagley formed the
idea that the negro was In doubt az
to the working of the revolver, and
proceeded I'd give a demonstration.
Several shots were fired, and as II
was at a time when the street had
many ngroes on it returning from the
railroad docks, there was some lively
moving on their part. One shot bur
rowed itself into the ground, another
embedded itself in the wall OF near
iTy building, and If any other were
fired. they could not be traced.
Patrolman Chestnut ran up and
placed Bagley under arrest. AT the
station he was charged with carrying
concealed weapons and dtschaTging
firearms in the city limits. He ala
not make bond.
Ii is q very unusual occurrence Tor
army men TO carry concealed weapons
but one case In the past having been
found. Bagley would have nothing to
say as to where the revolver came
from, but 1t bears the mark OF the
limited States navy.
