North Georgia Conference session in Atlanta draws focus on clergy
Georgia Methodists watch the 86th annual North Georgia Conference in Atlanta while South Georgia meets in Thomasville. The piece notes unusual 10th year ministerial reassignments, highlights Rev. Judson Clyde Adams of Butler and Rev. W C Bryant and Rev. W A Wilson in Georgia, and mentions Benjamin Mathis of Montezuma earning a Master of Arts. It also salutes local civic figures and ends with a moral about the value of a sincere smile.
