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.

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. O-ZkAts ii.“ a A-hZai..
