South Georgia Conference Completed Its Work Monday

Was Great Session and in Many Respects one of most Notable in its History

Cordele, Nov. 27 – 

This session of the South Georgia M.E. conference is one of the best of its 
whole history.  The weather had been perfect, the entertainment delightful and 
the business has been dispatched without friction or unpleasantness.


63 Years in Conference

The conference listened to a unique speech Friday from Dr. J.B. McGehee, D.D., 
who will superannuate at this session of the conference after sixty-three years 
of faithful service.  Dr. McGehee is 82 years of age and joined the conference 
sixty-three years ago.  His second would be hard to duplicate anywhere as an 
itinerant preacher.  Men have preached, or had license to preach that long, but 
very few of any, have been active pastors for over three score years.  During 
the present year Dr. McGehee has served the Buena Vista church.  Despite his 82 
years of age and sixty-three years of service he preached twice each Sunday, 
conducted his Wednesday evening prayer meetings, did pastoral work and brought 
up the collections ordered by the annual conference.

In his remarks to the conference Dr. McGehee said he had preached no old 
sermons, but had made new ones for his people.
