OFFICER FAILS TO
IDENTIFY FOSTER
Negro Held For Crime 40 Years
Ago Not Recognized Even
By Wife of Youth

QUITMAN, May 9.-When Mary
Green, alleged wife Of Green
Foster, the old negro in Jail at
Quitman, under charge of murder
ing Mr.. Red Wilkins about forty
years ago looked upon the alleged
slayer for the purpose Of identify
ng him, she admitted that she could
aot do so.
"That man don't look like TIE
nan l married and who was accused
of killing Mr.. Wilkins" she said.
Officer Emory Dampier reached
The same conclusion. The men IN
jail has all of the scare that Fos-
ter had, but age has whitened his
hair, the rheumatism has drawn his
head to one side and the old man
probably reins other differences
that make it hard to identify him.
But Fortune Samson, who work
ed with him forty years ago, and
who picked him out of a crowd OF
forty negroes, declares he is the
same man.
Il remember when he got ther
scars on his face and the one on
his leg. He cut himself with an axe
by accident, and he knows it. H
knows he is the same niger, ana
'spects his wife knows it, but shs
hates to say So" said Samson.
That is about the result of the
effort to identify the alleged slayer
Judge Thomas is holding cour;
at Quitman this week and it is like
ly that the old negro will be tried
during the present term, though no
day has been set for the trial

.NAL TER ANTHONY
traps DIVINE HEALERS'
Macon Methodist Pastor Says
Danger Lies in Using Religion
AS Physical Convenience

MACON, May 9.-In a sermon
here, Rev. Walter Anthony, pastor
of Mulberry Street Methodist
church and one Of the best known
Methodist preachers in Georgia,
has just "taken a falP' out with
so-called "divine healers."
"The danger Of trying to use
God and our religion as a sort of
physical convenience and follow
ing Christ to get the loaves and
fishes of life" was pointed out by
DR.. Anthony in his talk.
he said that while God is able to
heal all sickness the Christian is
taught to pay. Nevertheless not
my will, but thine be done.
IF this divine healing doctrine
is carried to its logical conclusion,
who would ever die?" DR.. Anthony
declared. What one of us would
let our mothers or children die, if
prayer was albe to override the will
of a god God, who has ordained
suffering and death as part of
the process of our spiritual per-
1ecJlOnS!
Jesus healed bodies when He
was on earth, but always for a
1 spiritual purpose. He opened
blind eyes to teach Himself as the
spiritual light Of the world; He
multiplied the loaves and fishes in
order to teach that He is spiritually
the Bread of Life. And always He
said to those lie healed, say moth
ing about it! He didn't want to be
considered a mere physical wonder
worker, for He knew the worlds
real trouble is spiritual, and that
its supreme need is to be saved
from its sins and brought to pos
sess character.
You and l nay need some sort
Of affliction to make us worth
while, as ship needs ballast. Let's
not make the physical supreme in
our lives, but the spiritual. Let's
not be selfish towards, running to
God with every petty pain we have.
while pretending to be followers of
that Christ who has made perfect
through suffering.
