KILG0 Our people were delighted with the visit of Dr. and Mrs. Kilgo yesterday. Dr Kilgo preached at Washington street M E church Sunday morning and at night The congregations were exceed ingly large at both services the seating capacity of the church and Sunday school room being taxed The discourses were of a high order and carried the bearer to realms uncommon to the vision of the ordinary listener at church. He is a tower of intellectual strength, eloquent, logical and drives the truth home with an em phasis peculiarly his own. It would do Dr. Kilgo and his sub ject injustice to undertake to re port one of his sermons. You must hear him, pass under the peculiar spell of his words, ex pression and eloquence. lne two sermons yesterday were the best ever heard in High Point and left an impression on tbe man capable of thinking that will be lasting. There is little doubt in our mind that the North Carolina Methodists have with them in Dr. Kilgo the biggest man intellectual ly in Southern Methodism.
