POWERFUL SERMON
BY BISHOP K|LGO IS
DRIVEN To HEARTS

CORDELE, Ga, Nov. 26.-Dr. w. n.
Ainsworth, pastor of Mulberry Street
church (Macon) occupied the chair at
the South Georgia conference of the
N. E. Church, South, in session here
yesterday. He presided while Bishcp
Kilgo made preparation for preaching
the Thanksgiving service at II
o'clock
Dr. W. C. Lovett, editor in chief of
the Wesleyan Christian Advocate. also
presided over a short session of the
legal conference of which he is the
president. Rev. o. F. Cook, of Thorn
asville, was elected treasurer of t he
legal conference. He takes the place
made vacant by the death of DR.. A. M.
Williams, who died during the year.
There was not even standing room
left in the church when Bishop Kilgo
arose to preach the Thanksgiving ser
mon His text was the eighth verse Of
the forty-eighth psalm
He spoke of the necessity of individ-
uals and nations having right ideas of
Cod What the nations are and what
men make of themselves depends very
largely on what they believe. When
God would make an affirmation to any
people or any man He always began
by affirming himself
"The great thing about the Ten Com
mandments and the Sermon on the
Mount is that God is in them" he con-
tinued. Some of the modern people
have gotten so smart that they don't
know Gsd. Many a cotton field negro
knows more about God than some
learned professors. The learned pro-
fessor tries to find God in reading
what Babylonish people scratched on
bricks, but the old negro knows Him
by what God reveals in his soul.

The bishop condemned the sins Of
profanity, Sabbath breaking and steal

Some will say that the man who
swears has a bad habit" said
the bishop, "but the truth is he is as
great sinner as the man who lies and
steals. The profane swearer may wear
kid gloves and a dress suit but look
into soul and you will find pig pen
and a plenty of it. The Sabbath
breaking society woman is just as
great a sinner as the woman of the

society,"
