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.
