* The first session of the sixth annual
f conference of the Georgia Epworth Leagues {
» was. he Id at the big tent on High street
~ last night, commencing promptly at 7:30
• o'clock.
The addresses of welcome were made 1
and the key to the city formally turned
over to the delegates by the mayor.
Nearly all of the delegates reached the ‘
city before dark yesterday and all day long
the n-i-ne at the reception headquarters
j was YnO.-t lively one.
The greatest rush was experienced -be- ■
I tween 4 and 6 o’clock, when the delegates. !
from Savannah, Atlanta, South and South-
: west Georgia came in.
Everything at the headquarters had i
' 1 ■ i n prepared tor the rush, and the rapid- I
ity with which the delegates were dis- i
patched to the hom.-s assigned them was
! remarkable.
the VV or* oi AHHigning Homes.
j Chairman Walter B. King, of the enter- I
i t.im.-m nt committee examined the cards i
i pie.-.eiiiid by the delegates as they ap- .
j pi ared at the desk wnere the assignments ;
’ w<re made. I’he delegate was then passed 1
J on to .be .1. i-ks presided over by Messrs. .
W. b. Manin and J. L. Markham, wno
' looker up Hie homes to which they had !
iie. n assigned, and then turned them over .
• to the guides. The work went on so 1
I smoothly, and there was so little delay, as i
' has beet, the case in conferences hereto- |
i fore, that everyone remarked on at with I
' dl light.
Every delegate was supplied with a pro- ;
gram of the entire conference. Those who |
; came in on the morning trains spent the !
I afternoon in riding or strolling about the
| city, viewing the gaily decorated w;n
--‘ dows and buildings.
lioiiie* iii Plenty.
There were homes in plenty for the vis
itor;-, and so far every delegate has been
provided for ami there is still room for
more.
The largest delegation from Atlanta was
1 the one that came down on the “Epworth
[ League Special" over the Central, reaeh
i ing here at 5:30. There were four coaches
| on this train, and the run from Atlanta to
! Macon was made in two hours and twenty
I minutese. One of the notable features of
this train was the chapel ear, where an
I or; an had been set up and services were
I held all the way down.
The reception headquarters were not
; closed until all of the evening trains were
in.
The FirMt SeNMfon.
Mr. Charles T). Tillman, the veteran
musical director of large choirs and con
gregational singing, never gazed out upon
an audience made up of more of the rep
resentative Christian workers of the state,
■than he did last night when he rose the
I first time, at the session of the sixth an
nual conference of the Georgia Epworth
L -ague to lead the first song.
The song service lasted until 8 o’clock,
I and the good old hymns were sung with a
; vim tlfat told that the songs came from the
J hearts of Georgia’s young Christian work
‘l ers assembled there.
The program had been divided iuto parts
i and the opening session was "Looking
Backward.”
Rev. Earnest \V. Bigham conducted a I
ten minute devotional service.
M-Ijor Pr <-e Pr. s. nt<'<! the Key
Mayor Price made a hit when he arose
; and in behalf of the city of Macon wel
comed the visitors to the city.
"'Mr. (President. Ladies and Gentlemen
of the Epworth League:
"In formally extending you a welcome to I
the city of Macon, I wish to also extend |
my thanks to you for what I regard as an
e’teemed privilege.
"The life of the average mayor js one
long, rocky road; I might say an unpaved,
unimproved street, with very few Howers
; growing by the wayside. Only now and
: thi n does a little flower force its way out
' of the rough places to brighten and sweet
; cn -life, but the occasions are rare. This, I
i am glad to say, is one of those rare acca
; : ions. To welcome such an assemblage of
Christian and intelligent people, represent
ing almost every nook and corner of our
beloved state, is indeed a pleasure.
“And you have chosen a most fitting sea
son for your visit.. From out of the night
i of winter, when all nature slept, comes
now the glad tokens of spring, refreshed ,
and rejuvinated, to array our city in her
most attractive raiment, and present her,
Henry Ward Beecher was once jileased
to say, the most beautiful city in the
world.
’ To our city, therefore, as well as to our
homes as well as our hearts, I
.bid you welcome, thrice welcome. As long
as you remain within dur borders, remem
ber, you are at home.
"I trust and believe your convention
will be one of profit to you. and when your
work is finished, may each and every one
of you have safe and pleasant journeys
homeward, carrying with you sweet mem
ories of your visit 'to the Central City of
Georgia.
"And now, .Mr. President, I place in
your keeping the key of the city. It un
locks our hearts and homes.
Producing a large key, decorated in the
colors of the league, Mayor Price present
ed to President Smith.
Mr. McGhee KcHponds*
First Vice President J. L. McGhee, of
Valdosta, responded to Mayor Price’s ad
dress of welcome in behalf of the league.
His remarks were most appropriate.
The address of welcome in behalf of the
Macon Union Leagues by President L. W.
Branch, was greeted with loud applause.
He said that the Epworth Leaguers were
optimistic organization, and that the mem-*
bers could be pious without being sad
faced, and that they could still enjoy life.
He warmly welcomed the delegates.
Major Gwiun, <>t Athiiiia.
Major -R. G. Guinn, of Atlanta, respon-
■ dcu iu behalf of the leagues at large. He
said that the visitors felt like putting a
broad arch over the city and on it in
scribing the senltment the Irishman ex
pressed on the gatepost of the cemetery:
”We are here, and here to stay.” He
praised the hospitality which the good
people of Macon bad displayed and thank
ed them most warmly for their welcome.
I Hon. Lawton H. Evans.
After a song by the choir and eongrega-
I lion. Hon. Lawton B. Evans, superinten
- den; of the public schools of Richmond
i count, was introduced to deliver an ad-
: dress on “Education and*Character.” He
I ■ said in part:
I "Somewhere in the good book an excel—
' lent text is furrtished, ’What profiteth it a
j man if he gain the whole world and lose
i his own sonl,” which I would interpret
professionally. ‘What profiteth a man if he
learn all ;books and lose his manhood." I
was a school teacher by accident. While
at school at Emery College I swore that I*
would not be. I was determined to be a
lawyer, and I afterwards studied law
and taught school. Like many Methodist
preachers, my father had gathered about
i him a large and varied assortment of chil
dren. and could furnish me with nothing
but an education, which he told me to use
as I thought best. ’There is a providence
that shapes our end, rough hew them as
we may," and I soon ran afoul of a pair
of brown eyes. I fell captive to the beauti
ful pirate, and my bark of hope was taken
in towe a helpless captive, and was an
chored in the beautiful harbor of a wo
man's love, and I dedicated my life to the
profession I was then following, and am
now glad that I did it. I do not concede
to any one greater responsibility than to
the teachers of Georgia. To them belong
the future plans of the children of the
v state. Ido not believe there is any great
j er joy than in being 'busy. If by some
,f stroke of fortune I were handed a million
a dollars tonight I would still continue to
- I teach school, if you do not believe it try’
me.
The Definition of Life.
The best definition of life is that the sum
-of all forces resist death. The best defi
ll nition of education is the sum of all sur
rounding forces resist decay.
"We need not think that education all
’ comes from colleges. New ideas of com
i panions help educate one. Every good
book read helps educate. I am prepared to
j say that schools form only a small part
I. in the education of a child.
“It has been accused that the public
schools of today are Godless. This state
ment was made by a preacher, but I am
glad to say he was not a Methodist
preacher. If I thought this statement were
true, I would get out.of the schools to
morrow, but thank Heaven, it is not.
There are Godly and soul-saving influ
ences thrown around the lives of the
school children. I have charge of 7,000
Children and 176 teachers and this is true
among them as it is among all the other
systems I have 'ever seen.
There are children who never hear -the
Bib! real save as he hears it read in the
public s. .tools. He nea-er hears a prayer
save that which comes from the teachers’
desk.
iTJie Bible n* a Text Book.
I do not believe in teaching the Bible in
schools as a text book.
I remember very distinctly of visiting
a school in the rural districts ou one oc
casion about seventeen yars ago, and as 1
appeared .u the doorway, the teacher com
menced getting up from the front seat,
and it took him some time to unlimber. 1
looked up at him and said, howdy do. He
handed me his rejiort card, and asked me
if 1 would like to near the class in reading.
1 told bun yes. And he raised his arms
iike a Dutch wind mill, and called me
"lust class iu readin.' Every pupil in the
school rose and came to the front. In the
hand of each one of them was a Bible. 1
suppose that the American Bible Society
bad distr,buted them there, ana they were
being ust d tor reading books. The teach
er gave the signal and they started. The
first man that reached the bottom of the
page w..s declared winner, and that is one
of my objections to the Bible being used
in the schools. It is used every- day
enough in the schools to furnish texts for
the shaping of the character of the Jew
arid Gentile alike. It should be used to
mould character. < » .•
There comes two things in every child’s
life. The teachings of the parent and the
environments in his every day avocations.
Resistance is character. It is man him
self, and not what people think he is.
Many a man’s reputatiton would not speak
to his charcter were they to meet on the
street.
The Result of Educiitioii.
The result of education is habit. Habit
is what a man wills to do. 1 have found
that the average man will have that which
he wants, that which he loves best. Ed
ucation is not to teach people what they
know, but, what they do not know. Edu
cation governs our behavior. It should
Leach industry. Education does not make
a man, unless the man will help himself.
It is not what we do for the children, but
what we allow them. I have seen men
come back from college that knew too
much. Their minds are trained to.receive
but not to Impart. They are not free think
ers. They hide their lights under a bush
el. I sometimes think of the minds of
some college men who come back home
with a whole lot of learning, as a ware
house. *
People Who Say Too Much,
There are people who say too much. We
were made with two eyes, two ears and
one mouth. We should see and hear twice
as much as we tell. A man often sets
his mouth agoing, and has to come back
and explain.
Work for the night is coming. Don’t
chase rabbits like an old dog of my fath
er’s once did. (Ho would go out into a field
and run rabbits faster than any dog we
had, but he never Caugnt one, for every
time she crossed a fresh track she would
go off on that. That is what some of us
are. We are always looking for some
thing new. Shomaker, stick to your last.
When Garibaldi made his call to the le
gions of Italy he told them that he could
promise them nothing to follow him. 'No
place save the swamps to sleep. Long and
tiresome marches with no reward save the
freedom of Italy.
The Teachers of Georgia.
"I shall call to the teachers of Georgia.
We can promise you nothing in the way
of reward. Your tasks will be hard, and
the way is a tiresome one, but we shall
see Georgia free.”
Mr. Evans’ closing words were especial
ly eloquent, and when he took his seat he
was roundly applauded.
President Smith rose and made the an
nouncement of the calls of the chairmen
of the different district delegations for the
meeting of the delegations at the tent this
morning, and in other parts of the city.
The meeting .of these delegations was for
the purpose of selecting the electors in the
conference eommitteoi
A Loiter I'roni file Bishop.
Secretary Streyer read the following let
ter from (Bishop Fitzgerald, after which
the meeting adjourned with a song:
Nashvile, Tenn., Feb. 18, 1898.---My
Dear Brother Smith: My strong desire to
be with you at your Epworth League Con
ference at Macon, on the one haftid, and the
impediments in my way, on the other, have
caused a litle delay in responding to your
.kind invitation. My heart said yes at
once. The circumstances surrounding me
say no. "And the no has it.” My regreat
is greaer than your loss. May I ask you to
give my fraternal and or pastoral greeting
to the conference, with my prayer that the
session may 'be a gracious occasion to all.
Yours in Christ, O. P. Fitzgerald.
Convention Notes.
It was very comfortable in the tent, and
there was no complaint. All of the meet
ings hereafter will be held there.
Among the prominent guests who are at
tending the conference is- Rev. Sam P.
Hoyle, of Columbus. Mr. Hoyle is a young
preacher who has won for himself .an en
viable reputation, and bears the distinc
tion of-being a self-made man.
Rev. Alonzo Monk will be awarded a
hearty reception when he lectures tonight
on "The World For Christ.”
The refreshment pavillion is proving a
great convenience to the delegates. This
part of the conference is in cuarge of Mr.
Z. T. Rogers.
The handsomest souvenir of the confer
ence is the illustrated program and guide
book gotten up by State Secretary Streyer.
The book contains much valuable infor
mation, with the program and photographs
of the officers and prominent members of
the league. Blank Space is left beneath
each day’s program for notes. The pro
gressive merchants o>£ the city have pa
tronized this work liberally.
Delegates from Augusta and Savannah
are watching each other to see which will
make the best bid for the next conference.
It is understood that the Savannah dele
gation will make a strong fight for it.
The coming of Sam Jones will 'be a great
event in the conference. He always comes
to Macon when he is needed, and never
fails to hit the mark here as elsewhere.
The weather today could have been no
more propitious for the conference than it
is. Not too warm nor too cold. The tent
was a delightful place this morning.
AB of the delegates have not arrived yet.
Every train brings in some straglers. The
reception headquarters have been trans
ferred to the tent, where the delegates who
get in late will find Chairman King of the
reception committee after each session.
The splendid singing of the choir under
the direction of Professor Charles Tillman,
is remarked upon by all the delegates. Mr.
Tillman furnished his books and able as
sistance gratis to the league.
The special Over the Southern road yes
terday from Atlanta was the prettiest
train that came into the city. The cars
were very handsome, besides being splen
didly decorated. Major Winters brought
the delegates up from the depot gratis.
A tremendous crowd is expected
to be here Sunday, and alDof the hotels
are making arrangements to entertain a
large crowd.

OBSERVING THE
PASSOVER.
Interesting Ceremonies Now
Being Used Among the
Hebrew Population.
IT LASTS FOR SEVEN DAYS.
The Story of the Wandering Jews is
Told Over Again by the Les
sons of the Church.
When the sunshine of spring shoots
through the dismal mantle ol winter the
Passover festival is ushered in, reminding
us of God's deliverance of a persecuted
people and promising a season of gladness,
of bustinb buds and blooming flowers.
This is the Jewish feast which comenced
with the setting sun Wednesday afternoon,
ternocu.
Tne Pasach or Passover festival is com
memorative of that greatest epoch in the
history of the Jews when the Lord com
manded the Angel of Death to pass over
the houses of the Israelites and to smite
the first born in every Egyptian home.
This was thti tenth ana last of the Egyp
tian plagues, and only after this devas
tating curse was plainly manifested did.
the stubborn heart of Pharaoh yield and
the Jews were allowed to depart. In their
hurry to leave Egypt no time was allow
ed to bake their bread, and -t-he partially
prepared dough 4as taken and afterwards
baked in the sun, and it is because of this
tail that the Jews eat Matzos or unleaven
bread. For seven days the Jews abstain
from eating other than the Passover cakes
or crackers.
With the sinking of the sun the portals
of the synagogues and temples are thrown
open and the passover feast is ushered in
with services of prayer and of song. The
congregational services are followed by
the ceremonies at.home, by far the most
impressive and beautiful of the Jewish ob
servances. The "Sader” services, for so
the ceremony at home are known, pre
sents the Jewish home life in its perfec
tion. The table is resplendent with a
cloth of snowy whiteness, illuminated by
innumerable lights and crowned with the
Matos of unleaven bread. The head of the
house, after reading prayers, explains the
significance of the feast, expatiating at
length upon the trials and tribulations of
the children of Israel in the land of Egypt.
He recounts the efforts of Moses to soften
the heart of Pharaoh, tells of the ten
plagues with which God afflicted the Egyp
tians and oi the final hasty departure of
the Jews from the “house of bondage.”
The history of their wanderings through,
the wilderness is related, and the rise and
fall of Israel as a nation -is exploited. On
this occasion the Jews,, scattered among
all the people of the earth, pray that an
other year may find Israel re-established,
as a nation in the land dear •to t leir
hearts, and around which so many loving
memories twine.
On the table is a dish containing bitter
herns, a -glass of salt water, a mixture of
almons and apples, representing mortar,
and the shank bone of a lamb. The bit-,
ter herb.-, are a reminder of the hard and
bitter trials of Israel, the sail water re
calls the Red Sea over which thej crossed,
the mortar is emblematic of the building
material with which they worked, and the
bone of the Paschal lamb.
The feast continues for seven days, dui
ing which period only unleaven bread is
i*aten and prayers of thankfulness are
daily said. This is one of the most in
teresting and inspiring of all J ws i fes
tivals and its objerva r:e neeas io oe wit
nessed to be justly appreciated.

JACK TARS
Threatening Desertion Unless the Maine ?is
Avenged.
New York, April B—The Jack Tars of
the navy, it was learned here yesterday,
have sent "round robins” to the president,
demanding that the killing of their broth
ers on the Maine be avenged. Nearly 2,000
sialormen have signed the papers, which,
it is said, threaten wholesale desertions
from the navy unless their demand shall
be granted. The “round .robin” idea start
ed on board one of the ships at Key West,
and was enthusiastically received by the
sailors of the fleet. Then the idea was
taken up at Hampton Roads. League Is

papers were forwarded o the president
