Adams, Esq.—lnterest In the Tech
nological School.
The 140th anniversary of the Union So
ciety ami the loOth of the establishment of
the orphan bouse by George Whitfield was
celebrated at Bethesda yesterday. The at
tendance was the largest in twenty years,
and there was a spirit in the entire proceed
ings that has certainly never been excelled
in many years. Every train was crowded,
and the two first almost uncomfortably so.
It might be said that the new technolog
ical building was the principal source of
attraction, but to many of the visitors
everything was new and worth seeing. The
thousand and more people went from one
point to another examining the institution.
The Bethesda boys came in for their full
share of attention. Mothers, sisters,
brothers, and friends, all had kind
words for the little fellows. Not the
least interested of the visitors were these
who were once wards of this society, gome
of whom had just reached ma ,’s estate, and
others whose years were indicated by gray
hairs of fifty winters. Take it all in all, ye -
terday might well be called a “red letter"
day in the calendar of Bethesda.
The annual meeting was more than usu
ally well attended. It was called to order
at 1 o’clock p. m. by President E.tilL
The following members were present:
S. B. Adams, J. Sullivan, D. R. Thomas.
B. R. Armstrong. R. D. Walker, Rev. R.
Webb, H. J. Sutcliffe, A. S. Nichols, R. B.
Reppard, S. Gardner, D. Brown, George
Chatterton, Jr., E. W. Cubbedee, J. A. G.
Carson, T. Ballantvne, G. Bourquin, J. 8.
Collins, W. K. Wilkinson, J.B. Fernandez, O.
Butler, George Jesse, Waring Russell, M. J.
Solomons, William Rogers, and others.
The minutes of the last meeting having
been already presented In pamphlet form
to the members, they were confirmed with
out reading.
The president read his annual report as
follows:
Tins president's report.
Bethesda, April S3, 1890.
To the Members of the Union Society:
The year which has just closed will mark an
important epoch in the history of the society.
In my last report I stated that I had been try
ing to do ‘‘something in regard to establishing
the long talked of school of technology, and had
gathered a little information on the subject,
and that a suitable building am. limited outfit
would cost about SS,O<X), and that a teacher
could be secured at a salary ranging from §I,OOO
to $2,300, according to circumstances. Such a
school would do much good, not only to our
boys, but to the community, and would be the
means of supplying a largo corDS of educated
and trained mechanics." The ink was scarcely
dry oil the paper in which the report was pre
so ited when I was called upon by AI r. J. 1).
Weed, who informed me that Air. Ed
win Parsons of New York, formerly
n resident of Savannah, had read
my report and had written to him for further
information regarding the suggested techno
logical department. The report made to him
by Air. Weed impressed Mr. Parsons so favorably
that he at once sent jhis check tor $5,000, to b 3
used as indicated in my report. The techno
logical building was begun on Oct. 15. ISO!), and
completed Jan. 15,1890. and the work of instruc
tion began on the 27th of the same month. The
building is 50x100 feet, with two floors. It has
a spacious boiler house. In addition to this,
there is a blacksmith shop, fully equipped, and
a water tower forty feet high, ou the top of
which is a tank of 2,500 gallons capacity, sup
plied with water by a steam pump in the boiler
room. Tne main building is supplied with ma
chinery suitable for a manual training school,
a list of w'hicii will be found in the report of the
teacher in charge of the technological depart
ment.
THE SCHOOL ITSELF.
The school is under charge of Prof. George
Chatterton, Jr., who also superintended the
construction of the building and the installment
of Its plant. Instruction is given in carpentry
in all its branches, which is to be fol lowed by a
course in blacksmith work. The effects of this
school will be seen not only at Bethesda, but in
a few years will be noticeable in the improved
skillfulness of the mechanics in this section of
the state. The technological department, ex
clusive of the pay of the teacher, has cost uo
to date $5,838 S3. All the bills are not yet in,
hut I think the total cost will not exceed $6,500.
In addition to his original subscription, Mr.
Parsons made a second subscription of SSOO,
and kindly offers to make another subscription,
so as to cover the entire cost of the technolog
ical department. In honor to the gentleman
whose liberality made this addition to Bethesda's
educational facilities possible, the institution
has been designated the Parsons Technological
School.
By direction of the board of managers I se
cured bids for building the eastern wing of the
orphan house, but they were so much higher
than I anticipated, and as we were about to
construct the technological building, I have
done nothing further in that direction. It is
very desirable that the addition to the orphan
house should be built, but at present I do not
see where the money is to come from to do it.
Oh April 80 last the laundry was accidently
destroyed by Are. Anew building has been
erected on the site of the old one at a cost of
$391.
THE TEACHERS.
1 found it necessary, as suggested in my last
report, to employ au additional teacher, and on
May 1 Miss Wallis was made assistant at a
salary of $35 per month and board. Mr. G. W.
lee, the principal, resigned his position on Aug.
1; no appoint nent was mafia to fill the vacancy,
hut rn the reopening of the school. Sept. 1,
I’rof. George Chatterton, Jr., who had boon em
ployed to take charge of the technological
"hool, kindly acted as principal until he was
relieved in January to assume the duties for
which he was engaged. He was succeeded by
Mr. J. M. Gillespie, the present principal. The
fchool committee reports the condition of the
school to tie excellent, and its general good
order a noticeable feature. It was the unani
mous opinion of the committas that the school
was never in better condition.
Mr. Chaplin, the superintendent, has per
formed his arduous duties to the entire satis
faction of the board, and while his labors have
hcen increased from year to year, there has
been no corresponding increase in his salary. I
a:n glad to state the board of managers, at a
meeting held on April 18, increased his salary
from SSO to $75 per month, to date from April 1.
'Ve had eighty-eight boys at the last report;
there are now ninety-eight in the orphan's
h tna. Twenty-three boys have left Rethesda
for various causes, as more fully appears in the
superintendent's report, and thirty-two boys
have been admitted, making the total number
"f Boys who have been at Bethesda during the
Vear 121. The boys have, as a rule, enjoyed the
host of health, uot one having been seriously
s >ck during the year. We had a few cases of
grip, but it was in a very mild form.

re entered for non-payment of ground rent, are
now in the possession of the society and are

THE PROPOSED HOTEL.
By request of the board, Mr. W. G. Preston
submitted preliminary plans for a hotel to be
erected in the rear of the Whitfield building,
the estimated cost of which was $50,000. There
km some doubts as to the advisability of in
vesting that amount in such a building, espec
ially when we consider that the society might
have to sell some of its securities upon the in
terest of whicu depends the maintenance of
etbesda. 1 hope those present at this meeting
''ill give this matter their careful considera
tion and assist the board of managers in de
termining what is best to be done toward im
proving this property.

The officers of the society at Bethesda have
been faithful in the discharge of their duties,
and we are indebted to Mrs. Ferguson and her I
family, and other friends in the neighboruood,
for their continued services in behalf of our I

has very kindly given his official services free of

Since my last fr>ort the society has lost six
members by death, namely, Messrs. Abram
Minis, George L. Cope, Nathaniel Lovell. 8. E.
Byck, M. Ferst and T. H. Harden, ail of them
honored citizens of Savannah, and zealous mem
bers of the society. Mr. Minis became enlisted
in its benevolent labors in e irly manhood, serv
ing in every office up to that of president, in
which position he devoted much of his valuable
time to the building up of the society and cariu *
for the orphans under its charge.
Referring to the very full reu >rts of the offi
cers awl committee for further Information
concerning its affairs, and congratulating you
on the increased good work that your society is
doing, I am, yours very truly,
J. H. Estill, President.
The reports of the treasurer, the com
mittee on town property, and other reports
were read, and ordered spread upon the
minutes.

A letter was read from Maj. A. L. Har!-
ridge, vice president, exuressmg his regrets
at having to forego tne pleasure of attend
ing, owing to a sprained ankle.
A resolution adopted by the board of
managers requesting the president to appoint
a committee of five to Solicit members was
read, and on motion was amended so as to
make it the duty of the same committee to
solicit contributions for building the
eastern wing of the orphan house. The
president appointed the following gentle
men the committee called for under the res
olution, viz: Messrs. R. B. Reppard,
Thomas Baliantyne, S. Herman, J. A. G.
Carson.
THANKS TO MR. PARSONS.
The following resolution was offered by
Mr. B. R. Thomas and unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of the Union So
ciety be tendered to Edwin Parsons, Esq . of
New York, for his munificent donation which
has enabled this society to establish a techno
logical school.
Resolved further. That the secretary send a
copy of this resolution to Mr. Parsons under the
seal of the society.
The president presented the case of Fred
Oborn, a one-armed beneficiary of the so
ciety, and suggested that action should be
taken looking to his future welfare as he
was now 2 i years of age.
On-motion of Mr. Reppard the president
was authorized to appoint a committee to
secure a free scholarship in somo college
for Oborn, this society to provide for his
board and clothing, and Messrs. Reppard,
Adams and Webb were appointed the com
mittee for that purpose.
The following officers were re-electedj
OFFICERS FOR 1890.
President — J. H. Estill.

John B. Fernandez, Aaron Ferst,
E. W. Cubbedge, Thomas S. M rgan,
H. J. Sutcliff.
After the adjournment of the meeting
the boys’ dinner was announced, which was
a signal for the visitors also to dine. Many
of the latter, however, were so interestad in
the boys’ entertainment that they spent
their time in looking after them. ” Messrs.
Butler, Cubbedge, Forfta'alez and Sutcliffj
of the stewards, assisted by Mr. Harry
Cowan and a number of ladies, had pre
pared a repast that would have done credit
to the De Soto, and when the fea3t was
over if there was a boy who was
not considerably heavier than he was
when he sat down to the table it was
no fault of his entertainers. Mr. R. B.
Reppard put the boys through the “settling
drill” several times, which doubtless aided
them in doing justice to their dinner. Be
tween “the sherry and the champagne” as
it wore, Mr. Reppard in behalf of the boys,
called upon President Estill and Vice Presi
dent J. L. Warren for speeches, and these
gentlemen responded, a id judging from the
applause which greeted them, touched re
sponsive chords in the breasts of their hear
ers.
At 4 o’clock the bell oalled the boys to
gether, and forming in line, with the brass
band at their head, they escorted the orator
of the day and the members of the society
to the ne w speaker’s stand in the grove.
After a prayer by Rev. Richard Webb,
the president introduced 8. B. Adams, Esq.,
who had kindly consented to deliver the
annual address.
Mr. Adams spoke about thirty minutes,
and no speaker ever had a more attentive
and appreciative audience, and no audience
ever a better speaker.
MR. ADAMS' ADDRESS.
Ur. President , * Lad its and Gentlemen and
Pays:
Each recurring anniversary of the establish
ment of this institution soould stir up thoughts
which ought to be suggestive and profitable. If
the thoughts are in koeplng wi;h the purposes
and plans of the founder, they will be whole
some and elevating. It is well to leave once
each year the absorbing pursuits of our ordi
nary vocations and come to this quiet and se
cluded spot, so that we may see for ourselves
the great work here being done, and may think
of that noble and princely man to whom this
school owes its birth.
When George Whitfienl began this work, vory
few had confidence in his success. Up to that
time very littlo had been done in this .direction
for institutions of this character, even in Eng
land. anil an enterprise which seriously pro
posed the building of this institution m the
wilds of Georgia seemed chimerical in the ex
treme Only the strongest conviction of duty
and An undaunted purpose could nave accom
plished what Whitfield accomplished. As it
was, the best efforts of his most eloquent
tongue and pen wero brought into full requisi
tion, and nn\ other man would probably hare
failed At this day and time the establishment
of a like institution would be incomparably
easier. ,
But Whitfield wrought welL In his day Bad
generation h> was wise, exceedingly win--. To
his buoyant faith something like the wonc which
Rethesda has accomplished must Imre been
made visible. If lie did antiolpate the present
status of this school -re can readdy understand
why lie was so abundant In labors, so self
sacrificing, so enthusiastic. If t*e sigh, which
we this das behold was oaught by the spiritual
eye of bl faith we can comprehend bow. thirty
van after Its establishment, npon a vis.t to
Georgia, hs should exclaim when seeing the
orphan house, “O, Bethesda, my Bethel, my
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1890.
Peniel I My happiness is inconceivable. I have
bad nine or ten prizes lately—you know what I
mean—nine or ten orphans have been lately
taken in. Hallelujah:”
However, it is not my purpose to review the
ISO years of the history or Betbesla, n t to give
you any statistics as to its past or present work.
No Navanttahian need be toM of what it ought
to be his pride and pleasure to know. All of
you hare, doubtless. noted the recent advance
under the present admirable management, and
are impressed with the magnitude au-1 import
ance of the work now being done.
Aly purpose is to talk, and particularly, to the
boys, in an earnest, unstudied way, of some
thoughts sug-toste i by every true life, by a life
li-te that of Wnitfteid’s.
Familiar but priceless truths are contained in
the memorable words of the great dramatist:
"Heaven doth with us as we with torches do.
Not light them for tneinaelves; for if our
virtues
Did not gu forth of us, ‘twere were all ali 1 :*
As if we had them not. Spirits are not finely
touched
But to fine issues; nor nature never lends
The smallest scruple of her excellence
But like a thrifty godless she determine)
Herself the glory of a creditor.
Both thanks and use." t
George Whitfield was a spirit ‘‘finely touched,’’
even by a "live coal from the altar.” He saw to
it that this was in truth to “fine issues,” and we
to day are in the immediate presence of a part of
the result. All fair-minded man must pronounce
his life an eminently, a gloriousl.- successful
life, although he di-d poor. Judged by the
purely commercial standard lie was a failure,
but by all true standards the lives of all the
Croesuses who have ever lived, of those who are
known only as rich men, dwindle when com
pared to bis into the most paltry insignificance.
Why is this) What was the secret of his suc
cess. of the love which man bore him while lie
lived .and of the reverence in which bis memory
U held even unto this Cay*
1 n the first place, my friends, (and I address
myself particularly to you, boysi he regarded
this life as a very sacred aud very moment
ous thing. He did not belittle it, as is the man
ner of some; he did not attempt to have as
little to do with it as he could; he did not run
away from it. No man of his day more com
pletely, more earnestly lived than did he.
With him life was a sacred trust, to be use i for
the furtherance of its true purposes, to be ac
counted for as the most Important and com
prehensive of all gifts Very early in life, he
bad a full understanding witu himself, and he
made up his rniud as to th>* dignity and signifi
cance of this earthly life, and with him to know
the right was to do It. The first and most im
portant conclusion to widen he came was that
this world was not the •’be-all and the end-all”
of it. Had lie not done this, he might
perchance have proclaimed by his conduct
as do go many of the foolish ones of earth, "last
us eat, drink, and be merry, for to-morrow we
die." He was sure that this lile was but the
beginning of an eternal life whioh would out
last tne stars, aud that this life determined that
future life. In this aspect only could it be
significant. In the light of this oouviction it
became all-important: not to be treated lightly,
not to ba wasted or frittered away, but to be
lived with high thoughts and high purposes,
with special reference to its eternal issues.
Boys, unless you understand that you are im
mortals, and are preparing yourselves in this
life for the eternal companionship of the wise
and good of the “better oountry," this life will
always seem to you a dreary enigma, "weary,
stale, flat and unprofitable.” This conviction
took bold of the very springs of Whitfield’s life
and motives. He ever lived under the stimulus
and inspiration of this abiding, this never-fail
in; conviction. But for this, life would have
seemed to him to be a very paltry, a very in
significant thing—“not worth the living.” Only
a few years ago a great Englishman died. A
scholar eminent in the world of letters, with an
abundance of tnis world's goods, in good h -alth,
with manv friends and thousands of admirers.
John Stuart Mill seemed of all men to have
been favored. His mind was well balanced aud
philosophical. He was thoroughly self-con
tained and seif-poised, amiahle, philanthropic,
calm and serene. He apparently lacked but one
thing, and that was a belief in the realities
of the future world. He was an infidel. His
autobiography makes the significant confession
that, for quite a year, when still a young man,
he constantly contemplated sclf-destruotion.
This portion of his book rings with the wail as
deep and as bitter as ever it has come from the
lips of the disappointed and dishearteued.
“Vanity of vanitios, aH is vanity." "Emptiness
of emptinesses, ail is emptiness.” This life shut
up to the narrow confines of a few brief years,
cut off from that which is to come, did not have
motive enough or stimulus enough He came
to say, as it seems to hie all men must with his
lack of faith, of his life—“l loathe it." Boys,
avoid more earnestly than the most direful
earthly calamity, this fatal, this fundamental
error.
Early in life Whitfield formed well-defined
purposes and plans as to what be would do and
be He felt, if you will, that he had a high
misdo’i, as all of us ougut to faol. He dreamt
great dreams. He was an idealist the world
might say. But his purposes were fixed and
they were definite. His ship was not launched
without a rudder or compass, bound he knew
not were and reeked not. No man ever has
succeeded, or ever will succeed unless early in
life he makes up his mind what he proposes to
be and then directs bis energies eontantly
towards the accomplishment of his purpose.
This Is true of even the most earthly and most
selfish success—of the success not worth your
effort.
Whitfield’s aims were high and lofty, and
they were so because they were unselfish. It
never entered, I dare say, in his thought that
the main business of life was to get money, to
accumulate property. He knew what is and
what has always been profoundly true, “there
is that makoth himself rich, yet ha h nothing:
there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath
great riches.” His motives were unsordid. His
great heart proposed only good to his fellow
men. His effort ever was to make them true,
and honest, faithful, happy, useful. He felt
that his special mission was to preach to
them what he believed was a pure
“the chief good,” that which a’oue explained
life and made its riddles Intelligible. In this to
him holy mission, ho knew neither self-indul
gence nor fatigue, neither selfishness nor self
seeking, neither compromise nor temporizing,
neither danger nor fear; he knew only his duty.
No braver ina* than George Whitfield ever drew
a sword in any cause. He was brave, he was
self-sacrificing, he "endured hardness os a good
soldier,” because of his “seeing him who is in
visible.” If we would be like Whitfield, we
must let our motives and our energies be fed by
the same inspiring sight.
Often, too, even in this world such men,
without seeking It, get a great reward, even the
confidence and love of many. Without any
effort to secure the apniau ie ot men. it comes
to them unsought. AVhitflald met with opposi
tion bitter and unrelenting, he was sometimes
misunderstood, often harshly criticized, partic
ularly by those in place and power, but after
all, he was revered and loved by thousands, and
in this there was great reward, the greatest of
earthly rewards, Rignt here a reference to
another kindred spirit, although in a different
sphere, seems not out of place. When only a
few days ago the soul of Samuel J. Randall left
its body, a true man, who had treated this life
as a sacred trust, wh > had always done his
duty as he understood it. without regard to
consequences, departed this life He died a
poor man; he never was, I infer from the re
ports of the press, a man of means. Had he
not been a rigidly honest man, he might easily
have been a rich man. As speaker of the
House, as a leader of his party, his influence
was often worth millions to an unscrupulous
lobby, and yet all men, friends and enemies,
unite in emphatic testimony to the fact that his
hands were clean, his record stainless Even
“back-wounding” caluoiDy," that “the whitest
virtue strikes,” seems for once to have spared a
prominent statesman. Poor though he was, he
was successful, vastly more so than some in the
upper House whose chief claim of distinction
seems to be based upon the lact that they have
"large possession.,. ’ litis ia.ll was a man of
faith. He avoided the mistake of Mill; he read
life and its purposes in the light of that book of
books which Mill did not accept.
Whitfield was enthusiastic. He loved his
work. He delighted in it. It was his meat and
drink. He did it gladly. He did not go to it as
the slave does to his daily task, but ardently,
joyously. He wore out, he did not rust out.
Nothing can be more touching than the account
of his la3t days. Some might say that he was
imprudent, that he ought to have taken better
Care of himself, but who can safely say this* A
good man dies at the right time and in the right
way, although it may not so seem to our
purblind vision. Feeble as he was, he
was active and heroic to the last
On the last Saturday of his earthly
ifa and the and ly before its close, he preached to
thousands against the remonstrance of friends
who urged him to go to bed. But turn
ing from them, lie addressed him who is invisi
ble and said aloud, “Lord, lam weary in thy
work, but not of it." The next morning he was
dead. And it has bean truly said "everywhere
good men made great lamentation over biin.”
Boys, love your work, whether your sebool
work or that whlcn awaits you In after life.
Find in it something to enlist your enthusiasm
which is so important a factor in true success.
Select the work which you can love. It would
lea grievous calamity to have a calling which
does not enlist your enthusiasm. If it be an
honest, useful calling, there is no reason why
yours should be such a calamity. Dignify it
with a inaniy, courageous, unselfish life. If
worldly success comes, let It be the means of
ealorgrag your usefulness, of making
your life more benifioieut. I uo not
suggest that any one of you select Whit
field’s calling, bsoajso i.one of you may be
called to this. But select a useful calling, one
that is worthy of the enthusiastic fealty of a
true man. whien can be utilized for the grand
onl sacred purposes of a true life. Make up
your minds to he somebody, and to accomplish
something. Fix tout aim and aim high— not
f r what the world call's great things, noces-a
rily, but, what is mucli better— strive for that
which is right, which is useful, wmch will make
men glad that you live. R collect that he is a
"oraveconqueror” "who wars against his own
affections and the huge army of the world's
desire* ”
