YESTERDAY AFTERNOON'S SESSION, j
i Ihe sc.-ion yesterday afternoon was de- |
vot<-I to receiving repcrta and discussions j
of th. work of the L- agm-s.
T!;c session was opened with the usual ;
song service, conducted by Mr. Charlie j
Tillman, of Atlanta.
The d<v,um:»i .-arvices conducted by i
I Mr. J. C. Wardlaw, of Wayncrboro. was |
among the most delightful that has been j
engaged in during the conference.

EVENING SESSION.
Perhaps the largest crowd that has yet
j attended the -ions of the conference
I was presi.nl last night.
I The attraction on the program was a
I leeture by Rev. Alonaa Monk, formerly
pastor of Mulberry Street M. thodist
church.
At the conclusion of the song service
i th.- devotional service was led by Rev.
.M. J. Cofer, chairman of League hoard.
North Georgia Conference, Carrollton.
The service was “Looking Abroad.” Rev.
Cofer made an interesting short talk from
(he 14. 15 and 1G verses of-the first chapter
• of Paul's letters to the Romans. lie warm
j ly advocated Ulie ut.iver.-al devotional ex-
I and said that the League should

v>,ys being measured too much by money.
At th. conclusion of .Mr. Cofer’s address
Mr. Tillman oang a beautiful solo entitled
“Di.nugmls in the Rough.”’
Dr. Young J. Allen, the Chinese mis
sionary, was introduced and said that he
hoped to have an opportunity to address
the conference.
DR. MONK’S ADDRESS.
When Dr. .Monk appeared upon the plat
fmm the applause was deafening. He said
in brief:
“It i: needless to assure you the great
pleasure 1 experience in being with you
on this great occasion. I am glad to see
people of our church of the state of Geor
<a, ami am glad to see you for your own
: -ke. 1 notn i on the program that my
lime j.? only limited by the hour of com
mencing tomorrow morning, i am glad of
tirat for I am in good shape for a long talk
-.fid fcil like I can talk a long time and
ay vciy little, but 1 fed that i am not
an unique < xeeprion, I have preached
three times a day for the past nineteen
days. I lift my home in the mountain
fasintssis of Tennessee at 3:30 o’clock
yesterday morning and arrived here in
time to participate am! receive at this
conference. 1 am a little puffed up at
what. I have received. When I came in
igl-.t of the fields white with the harvest,
I beheld a splendid blade of steel (Dr.
Steel) mowing down the harvest. A piece
true and tried. What he said and for,
he mireds and thousands of the members
>f the Methodist church I shall put him on
trial again. But I believe in taking the
bi idle off, if he Iras been bridled, and see
what qu<»t capers he will cut. There is
only danger to the F anlmal himself. What
I next beheld was a man striding about
the streets of Macon on legs three miles
long. What these high born sons of prov
id nee did not cut down, they trod down
I and left, nothing for the followers. Dr.
Cofer told us about singing. There are
somo Methodist preachers that cannot
sing. I e.an. and everybody ip Macon knows
it. 1 can tell that brother Cofer is not a
musician, for he only said Do-ra-me. He
should have gone further,
"I will enter into the subject. 1 want
those on the outskirts of the tent to hoar
me. I do mi. care about those that are
up close. I have plenty of voice, ami if I
slrnuld not happen to reach yen, hold up
your hand and I will try to pitch it to
you.
PLENTY OF VOICE.
' I count myself fortunate in the theme
i upon which I am to speak. I was asked
i '<> :-p, il. ufion that glorious subject “The
World for Christ.” X am glad to have the
great honor to advocate the cause of my
Master. 1 am sorry to hear men say that
tile Bible is to save the soul. It is not only
to save souls but to save men. and to saye
the world. I am of the opinion that even
the soil on which we stand will some day
feel the blessings of the Bible, and the re
deeming power of the cross.
"Ttie world for Christ.
”We barn the Scripture that on the fall
of man the earth was cursed for man’s
i sake, and the earth fell away from the di
vine presence. All of the evil of (this
world is the outcome of the sin of man.
which separated it from God. and even the
beautiful flowers have the curse of God
upon them. Had they not received this
•■ur-.'. they would have been still fairer.
I believe ill the reach and power of the
statement. I am wandering here, but
Brother Cofer has set me the example. I
believe in wandering and so does the
church. I remember tn Memphis some
time ago the board of trustees mot to se
lect a preacher to succeed the one's whose
four years was nearly out. One man was
i suggested and the objection was offered
that he was wandering and did not stick
to his subject. The brother who had sug
gested the nam-e said that this did not
matter and that be got there all the same.
He said you turn an old sow lose in a
potato patch, and she will not take it row
! by row, but she will turn the whole patch
over and get every potato in it. I believe
j in touching every man in the audience.
THREE PREREQUISITES.
"The prerequisites for turning the world
| over to Christ are:
“First. It rightly belongs to him. The
■ estimated price of the world has been paid.
I The nceessary sum for the purchase has
; been turned over and the goods have not
j been delivered. We should glorifv God.
: therefore, as al! is God's. The world was
j bought for God with blcod of the son.
; “Second, The world has accepted the I
I price. Conscious on the part of some, tin- i
‘ conscious on the part of others. The sale |
I has been agreed upon. e\V have declared '
.*'(<? a.eet pianee o‘ the price. It can’t be
i u-’Ked back. V»’e have endorsed the price
! in every court of equity, and God is en
! t-iti-vi to this old world. Ho has purchased
in on Calvary.
"Third. It happens in Providence that
the turning over of the world is in cur
hands. It is not in the power - r--' T te
. has a right to demand it and he has de
: tnanded it. lie has paid for it. Somebody
> is dealing unfairly. The same power that
withholds the goods has the power to turn
th. m over. The world Is His.
’That’s where we are. Thank heaven
I that the Epworth League is coming to the
relief, and its hand will soon be up on the
; throttle of the machine.
"I enjoyed the address of Brother Webb. :
1 was tired and pulled myself from bed
i to come down and hear him. I-t was a cap
ital address. Why don't you al! say amen?
The Chattanooga people help a fellow. Not
. in a spirit of discussion. I endorsed all of
! his speech except his long legs. There is
this about young people, they are liable i
to .'xtreraee of exagerating spirituality. :
W? need matrimony between the head and
, the heart. He got ahead of me on some i
L parts of my speech. I have read in some :
of his discussions as to where the intel- ;
iect of the man is located. Some say that
it is in the -head, some say in the heart
and some in the backbone. I do not know
where ii is, but somewhere lies the intel
lis-tual of religion. Our secretary said that
»t took one hundred wheels to bring him
here. I stand to caution young people the
danger of traveling religion, and to beau-
tiful machinery. There is danger in new
machinery that has not been tested. Keep
ycur trust in God and rely upon the Holy
Ghost, not by might nor by power, but by
the spirit. *
THE OLD TIME RELICION.
There are always some corkers. Tb®y
say, yes that’s the trouble. The old
time religion is the thing. When we had
th-: old time religion we had everybody in
the church eonvi rted and the church was
better. The curch is in better condition
today than it has ever been. There is
more of the apirit of the Holy Ghost in the
Methodiot church than there ever was be
fore. Don’t get away from the new birth.
There are a great many people who are
very good. They are as good as they can
be and so good that they arc good for
nothing. B< ing good all the time does not
take the world. You say, consecration. I
bolßve in It, holy perfection, sanctifica
tion and ail because the Bible teaehrs it.
but R r.iak-s a great, difference what you
have to consecrate. We need intilligent
Christians to take the world. As soon as
we quit houting some people believe that
we are going to the devil. We want some
iotclMge-at form of Christianity. That is
■xlia' tb • Epworth League is. There are
h cre-nt many who do not know that the
disciplrne of the Methodist church does not
permit dancing. 1 heard Bishop Fierce
say that Elijah was sitting under a juniper
tree ami v. inbd to go to heaven, hut that
he felt that he was backsliding, and that
h? was. the only one. B’.shop Fi< rce said
that, if he had been taking the c-hurch pa
per he would have known better and that
there were thousands in the same fix as
!i was. -The Methodist church is growing.
1 l.cli \e that we ought to take the world
tor Chrisi in a decade. Who is mare com
petent of this than the Epworth League?
1 believe tha-t it is a child of Providence,
ordered by heaven. It fills a sphere that
is not to be don. without such an organi
zation. The Epworth League will sweep
the hills, storm the valleys and capture
the forc-ts and as they stand on the tops
of the ramparts of sin, they will join
hinds around and sing “The Old Time
Religion.” (Hero the whole congregation
joined in swelling the chorus of that grand
old hymn.) We will stand on those peaks
and view the landscape, and see the day
when every knee shall bend and all shall
confess. Looking upward we will see the
angels as they sing that beautiful old song
'That. Beautiful Shore. (Congregation
joined in the singing.) So may God lead
the kagyers as leaders, and teach them to
perform their duty, -and I trust that we
will meet upon the hills Calvary. Then,
d. ar leaguers of the church of God, what
a grand rally we will have. May God
bless you all.”
Dr. H. C. Morrison, of the general mis
sionary board of the League, was intro.-
duced when Dr. Monk concluded, and
mad< an earnest plea to the Epworth
League of Georgia to furnish support for
c.ne foreign missionary.
He asked for volunteer contributions for
the next four years, but upon motion it
was decided to wait until today for the
contributions so that the Leaguers might
have time to think the matter over. Dr.
Morrison said H would take ?1,000 for the
first yf.tr of a missionary and SBOO for each
following year.
SEX!RETRY’S REPORT.
Following |s Secretary Streyer’s report
made yesterday:
THE SECRETARY’S REJORT.
Fellow Leaguers of Georgia—One year
ago our conference at Atlanta made the
great mistake of electing me to till the of
fice of state secretary, so worthily held
prior to that time by Mr. John -D. Walker.
For these twelve months I have striven
to do my duty, and now present to you my
report of the year’s work.
On taking up the duties of the office I
found that a file of correspondence was
needed, and to this end I designed a file
that could be used both this and coming
years. I also prepared the stationery for
the different officers. I made an effort to
have the minutes printed, and tried to se
cure advertisements to pay for them, so
that we could give them away.
I wrote prominent leaguers over the
state and asked them to solicit advertise
ments for the book. Out of these I only re
ceived returns from the Augusta leaguers,
and them I return my most sincere thanks.
Xf others had taken the interest these
leaguers did, X could have published the
minutes. As we "were already about $75
in debt, I did not feel authorized to print
these minutes, and risk the chance of get
ting it out of the general fund.
Ii.NTERN”ATIONA L CONFERENCE AT
TORONTO.
As soon as rates and route had been de
cided upon, I began, in co-operation with
the other, officers to work up a large del
egation from Georgia to the International
Conference at Toronto last July. At this
meeting we had about- five hundred dele
gates. This is the best representation
that we ever had at an International Con
ference. i regret that circumstances were
such that I was unable to go with the del
egation.
DISTRICT SECRETARIES.
These were appointed by the president,
upon nomination of the presiding elders of
the districts. As follows:

vice and .Miss Gussie Grimsley, of Coch
ran, was appointed to succeed him. Rev.
J. M. Glenn, of Valdosta, resigned after
eight months' service, on account of mov
ing out of district. A successor was not
appointed.
Nearly everyone of the secretaries was
furnished with a supply of statinonery.
Some few were not; these provided provi
ded for themselves, they preferring to do
this. Most of these have done well; some
few have been a. little indifferent.
If we could impress upon these officers
the importance of this work, we would
see great results, both in organization of
new leagues, and otherwise, as this is be
coming the most important part of the
work. Owiifg to the delay In receiving
their appointments a good many were hin
detred from beginning their work prompt
ly. I think it would be much better to
have the nomination of these officers
placed in the hands of the state secretary,
instead of the presiding elders, as it is
now. I would recommend that this change
be made in the constitution.
DISTRICT CONFERENCE.
By the statistical report, which I will
give later, you will see that a few of these
districts have held a district conference. I
had the pleasure of attending all but one
of these conferences, and aided in the
MACON NEWs SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL g 1898.
work as best I could. These cannot be
over estimated, for they were each a pow
er in the community. I only wish I had
the space and time to report fully one or
two of these meetings. They are full of
the spirit and enthusiasm, and will be
long remembered by those who attended
them.
I would recommend that it be embodied
in the constitution that each district should
hold a district conference each year, for. in
my opinion, they do more to develop our
young people than any other meeting.
GROWTH OF LE AGUE.
I was instructed at the meeting of the
executive meeting in Macon in !>eceinber
last to embody the reports as briefly as
possible of each district secretary. You
will see by these figures that in nearly
every district there has been an increase,
ard that we are “Pressing against the
Foe,” and our army is increasing. Below
is the report of each district:
At The conference in Atlanta we re
ported 251 chapters and 9.658 members. I
now beg to report 196 chapters and 8,053
members in the North Georgia Conference,
and 111 Chapters and 4,413 members in the
■South Georgia Conference, making a net
increase of fifty-three chapters and 2.20 S
members. It is useless to say more on
the growth, as the above figures show that
we are growing. I pray that the day will
soon come when there will be a league in
every Methodist Church in Georgia.
JUNIOR WORK.
In the above figures there is included
fifteen Junior Leagues with a membership
or 350. This work is progressing nicely,
and the prospects are that there will be a
large number of these leagues organized
next year. W are greatly indebted to our
efficient editor for the progress we have
made in this direction. It would be well
to have o fourth vice-president to look af
ter this branch of the work.
FINANCE. ,
If we could be as successful with this de
partment as we are in the growth of
Leagues, we would.have no trouble in car
rying on the work. Up to April Ist out of
306 ieaguese only about 105 have paid their
state tax, amounting in round numbers to
$l6O, leaving about 207 that have not paid.
There out to have been at least SSOO paid
to our treasurer, and hal it been paid
some of us would not have had to stretch
the leagues credit. I, for one, have spent
about $l7O, and up to above date have col
lected for all purposes during the year
$l6O. A good part of this has been paid
within the last fifteen or twenty days. The
officers should have enough funds on hand
at their disposal to carry the work on suc
cessfully. Everyone of the District Sec
retaries has furnished his own stamps.
This should be refunded them, and I trust
steps will be taken to this end.
Only about' thirty leaguese have paid the
ten cent assessment. We have only five
hundred subscribers to the Epworth Era.
We ought to improve on this.
ORPHANS’ HOME.
Very few leaguers have contributed to
the Orphans’ Home, although many of the
individuals have. Our league should grasp
the opportunity that lies before them, and
make .a special contribution each year t«
the home of their conference.
STATE ORGANIZER.
At our last conference the secretary re
commended that we employ a field secreta
ry, IYVe ought to do this as soon as possi
ble, but until we get a better system of
collecting state taxes, etc., we bad better
go slow. Georgia, with her nearly 12,000
leaguers, ought to support a person of this
kind, and I trust that the day is no far
distant when we will have a traveling sec
retary.
SPECIAL WORK.
As to my special work, I beg to advise
that I have written about 1,50.0 letters, be
sides postals, etc., of which which I did
not. keep a record. I have received about
1,000 letters, have 'had about seventy-five
requests for literature, which was fur
nished promptly. Besides this I have had
printed and sent out 8,000 slips—various
notes on same, 10,000 circulars and circu
lar letters. 500 postal cards, 2.000 copies of
■constitution and by-laws as amended at
Atlanta Conference, 5,000 letter heads and
8,000 envelopes, for the use of the various
state officers, 4.000 letter 'heads and 5,000
envelopes for District Secretariees, 500
blank reports, 300 Toronto badges, also ar
ranged a note book for the use of dele
gates at. this conference, stamps $45.
In laying down the work I beg to thank
each and every one for kindness shown
me, and I pray God’s richest blessing on
all the leagues and leaguers.
Resipectfuly submitted,
J. A. Streyer, Secretary.
LEAGUE NOTES.
Considerable annoyance was suffered by
some of the audience last night by the
loud talking ’of persons on the righ t wing
of the tent.
Dr. Monk loft for his home in Chatta
nooga this morning at 7 o’clock. Mrs.
Monk reached this morning at 11 o’clock.
Secretary Streyer has received notice of
the organization of several Leagues
throughout, the state. The League is
rapidly growing.
Several more delegates came in last
night and today. A large number of them
are school teachers and have not been able
to leave thejr duties before.
The singing is a delightful feature of the
conference. Charley Tillman is one of the
greatest leaders in the country.
The address tomorrow afternoon by Rev.
Sam Jones will draw a tremendous crowd.
BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR CA-
TARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY.
As mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the whole
system when .entering it through the mu
cous surfaces. Such articles should never
be used except on prescriptions from rep
utable physisians, as the damage they will
