DR. JN?. 0. KILGO AT
METHODIST CHURCH.
Distinguished Divine and Educator Honors
Laurens, His Native Town, With a
Brief but Pleasant Visit.
Dr. J. C. Kilgo preached at the First
Methodist Church Sunday evening.
His discourse was a masterly effort,
and was thoroughly enjoyed by the con
gregation. Taking for his theme the
Sovereignty of Cod, he traced God's
soveroign dealings with His people from
the time of Abraham through sacred
history, For an hour and a quarter he
hold the close attention of his hearers.
Dr. Kilgo as a boy lived in Laurens,
and says that he still loves his boyhood
home, and welcomes an opportunity to
re-visit it. He is a son of whom the
town is rightfully proud. While here
he attended the Academy taught by
Col. Ferguson. His collegiate training
was received at Wofford under Dr.
J. H. Carlisle, who saw his ability and
interested himself in the young student.
Since entering his ministerial career
his growth has heen steady. He is now
the honored president of Trinity Col
lege, the denominational college of the
Methodists of North Carolina. As an
evidence of their esteem for him the
board of trustees have recently granted
him a year's vacation with his salary
continued and all expenses of any trip
he may elect to take paid. He has not
yet fully determined upon the nature of
this trip, but it will probably be to Eu
rope for the purpose of studying school
systems there. He is now visiting his
old friends in this section.
Dr. Kilgo was all but elected a bishop
by the Methodist General Conference
the past spring, receiving a flattering
vote for the oflice. He was chosen to
deliver the baccalaureate sermon before
the Vanderbilt University students at
the last commencement of that institu
tion.
While in Laurens Dr. Kilgo was the!
guest of Mr. John F. Bolt.
