THOMAS JEFFERSON ADAMS

T. J. Adams was a preacher and a teacher.  He was
born in 1831, graduated in 1850, entered immediately
on teaching as a profession in his native county,
Washington...  Under the light of his own experience
he has struck out new and striking methodis of
tuition.  In the "Practical School" now conducted by
hime at Linton, Hancock county, he instructs, not by
text-books only or chiefly, but by lectures,
illustration, ocular demonstrations, with
experiments, objects, &c...

On his conversion he became a Baptist, after a
prayerful personal investigation of the New
Testament...  For more that twenty years he has, like
John of the banks of the Jordan, pointed men to the
"Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world,"
serving the Sandersville, Island Creek, Darien,
Ohoope, Union, Bethlehem and other churches in
Washington and Hancock counties.  He is highly
esteemed by his churches as a good preacher and a
fine pastor...
