THE new CHURCH 4
WAS DEDICATED
LARGE CONGREGATION HEARD
BISHOP MORRISON AT FIRST
METHODIST CHURCH SUNDAY

Sunday, April 7, 1912, will be a me-
morable day in the history of the
First Methodist church and it's splen-
did congregation. The members OF
this church had the pleasure of cele-
brati 1g two events of importance
Easter day and the dedication of one
of the handsomest church buildings in
this section of the state. The occas-
ion was made one of special interest
by the church and a most attractive
program of dedication services was
held at II o'clock which were graced
by bishop H. C. Morrison Of Lees
burg, Fla, Presiding Elder Whitley
Lan3ston of Waycross, Presiding Ed
er w H. Budd of the Valdosta con-
ference, Rev. j. w. Malone, president
Of Andrews Female College, Cuthbert,
the latter two pastors being in charge
of the church during the cOnstruc-
tion OF the new edifice, Rev. M. G..
Austin of McKendree church, and
Rev. 10y Warwick, pastor in charge.
The service was combined with a
special Easter musical program, which
served to make it one of the most
interesting and unique in the history
of the congregation. 1t had been
announced that Bishop Morrison
would preach and the new edtfice,
though large and spacious, was Sc
verely taxed to care for the very
large congregation, which assembled
to hear the eminent divine. This was
the first visit of the bishop to this
ed. His sermon on "The Resurrec-
ton of Jesus Christ" was very mas
terful argument, teeming with logic
of such nature that even the small
er children of the congregation could
catch and appreciate it. He produced
a splendid impression upon his hear
ers and was closely followed for over
an hour in a discourse as able as it
was logical.
At the conclusion Of the sermon
of Bishop Morrison, the impressive
dedicatory service was conducted IN
which the bishop on behalf OF the
church received the building from the
stewards and the trustees, the board
of stewards and the trustees advanc-
ing to the chancel rail anG in due
form presenting the edifce, which in
turn was received by the bishop. The
0rescribed service as used is both in
teresting and instructive and was
impressively enacted by these officers

Of The church.
All the visiting clergy participated
in the services at intervals, the floral
decorations and the music added
charm and on the whole the service
was most pleasant one and was en-
joyed by one of the largest congre-
cations ever assembled in this city.
The new church which is complete
ly paid for, is very handsome one
and reflects credit on all the pastors
who have been here during the work,
as well as on the ladies and the
stewards and trustees who have all
labored so hard for it. Rev. Low
Warwick, who has only been in this
city few months, is popular with
his congregation, is doing fine work
and the elaborate services Sunday Is
due largely to his indefatigable work.

y, April S.-The steamer Ontario,
1000 tons burden, from Baltimore to
Boston, with fifteen passengers and a
crew of forty, was run on the rocks
off Montauk Point by her captain to-
day with a fire in her hold. The pas
5engets were transferred in lifeboats

work the fire in the Ontario's hold
vas L1ought under coIrtroI.
The vessel is hard aground with a
light sea running and but little wind.
and there is little danger, apparently,
of her going to pieces. Life savers
hoVered near the vessel in their boats
all morning in readiness to take off
the crew, but Captain Bond, when
the fire was under control, declared
that there would be no need for their
services.
Passengers Transferred.
A breeches buoy was shot to the
vessel from the shore when she first
went on the rocks at O'Clock this
morning, but the captain, after trans
ferrfng the passengers to a tug, sent
word by life savers that his crew
would remain aboard. Long before
daylight they had chopped dozen
holes through the pilot house and the
water was pumped by the vessels own
engines into the hold. At o'clock
Captain Bond sent word ashore that
the progress of the fire had been
checked.
The fire broke out~during the night
and became so threatening that short
.ly before o'clock this morning Cap
tain Bond ordered the wireless op~-
rator to send SOS. distress signals.
An hour later he turned back upon
his course and drove the vessel full
speed ahead for the reefs off Montauk
Point.
Through the early morning hours
the wireless sputtered along the en-
tire North Atlantic coast with news
of he vessels danger. Ten minutes
later the men at this station saw the
ship on the rocks, hurried off with
brceches buoy apparatus and later
dragged their surf boat on It's truck
three miles over the beach to the
burning steamer.
The life savers, reinforced by a
crew from tue Hithers Plain Station,
two miles away, transferred the pas
sen gers in small boats to a tug and
stood off in readiness to take the
crew. ashore if need be. The passen-
gers were transferred in the Ontar-
los lifeboats.
Although the flames could not be
seen, q great cloud of steam and
smoIe arose from the burning snip
and spread a haze along the water
front for miles. Captain Bond told
the life savers that the fire was con-
fined entirely to the hold, A liSht
sea was running and there was little
wind. The hull of the vessel was
badly blistered on the outside.
The Ontario is a vessel of 1887
tons ret. She is 2S0 feet long OF steel
and was built several years ag3. She
left Baltimore Saturday.
The revenue cutters Mohawk ana
: Seneca picked up the wireless call
at New York and the cutter Acush-
at Boston hurried to the scene. Ihey
were able to give bat little assistance
however.

Memphis, Tenn, April Sat noon
today anxiety over, the Mississippi
Hood situation centered in the threat
ened reaches along the Arkansas and
North Louisiana river shores. The
trend of the flood is shown in the
report of the river stages at s O'Clock
this morning. The Mississippi had re-
ceded one, foot and two -tenths at
Memphis and had risen one foot and
one-tenth at .Vicksburg.
Leaders fighting to hold the levees
on the Mississippi shore declare they
will hold off the tide. Nevertheless,
the exodus in North Mississippi at
several threatened points has been
begun.
South of Memphis today there IRE
minor breaks in the entertainments
guarding the Arkansas shores, and
while these crevasses temporarily re-
lieve the strain on the Texas and
Yazoo dykes, yet the water hourly
works back into the main torrent. In
the Mississippi, Arkansas and Louis
lana villages behind the levees alarm
over the Threatened oncoming crest is
increasing the hundreds of villagers
and farmers have fed to the high
lands.
Scenes in the newly threatened dis
tricts reproduce those of upper river
points, where the flood has crashed
through the guarding dykes.
There seems to be one exception,
however. Refugees from the flooded
acres of the Arkansas country insist
there has been loss of life there since
been verified Nevertheless, river
men say that in floods of far less
proportions than this one, there have
been fatalities among those who dared
to remain at their homes almost un-
til the moment the tide reached them.
