Missionary to rhlna, at Wesley
Tilts Morning and at Grace To
il I Kh I.
This will be the last Sunday of the
Methodist tninisti*rs in Savannah before
their departure for Hawklnsville, where
they will attend the annual meeting of
the South Georgia Conference. All the
preachers have decided to leave in a body
for the conference. They will take the
Georgia and Alabama train Tuesday morn
ing.
The churches have concluded most of
their work of preparation for the confer
ence. The reports have been submitted
and everything has been got in readi
ness for the statements of the churches’
tendition except a few details that will
lie considered by the congregations, oom
mittees or pastors to-day anti to-morrow.
It is said the churches will be able to
make good reports this year to the confer
ence.
It is hot likdy that there will be any
thing in the way of farewell sermons or
addresses by pastors to their congregations
to-day. Something may be said of the
/’lose of the conference year and of the
progress that has been made, but most of
the churches will have their pulpits sup
plied to-day by visiting preachers.
The ministers will probably get back
from Hawklnsville about Wednesday of
next week. They will leave as soon as the
business of the conference is concluded.
This usually takes a week. The meeting
of the board ot missions will 1> held on
Wednesday and the opening session of the
conference on Thursday. There will be no
laymen in the party from Savannah, as
the city has no representation among the
delegates who will attend from this dis
trict.
Rev. Young J. Allen, D. D., the distin
guished visitor to the city, will preach at
Wesley Monumental Church this morning
and at Grace Church tonight. An Idea
of the delight of the congregations favored
with his presence may be formed by read
ing the following from the Wesleyan
Christian Advocate, referring to his ad
dresses at the conference in Augusta:
‘‘Dr. Young J. Allen addressed the con
ference. by request of that body, on Fri
day at 11 o’clock, and again at the mis
sionary anniversary at £ o'clock In the
evening. Two addresses of such magni
tude and power, by the same man anti in
ere day, we venture to say were never
delivered before in this state. If in any
other state. Many said that they had never
heard anything like It. The address in the
forenoon was on “China Made Willing,’’
that Is, made willing lo adopt the civili
zation and take her place with Christian
nations. The evening address was u com
parison of the religions of the world, show
ing most gloriously the superiority of the
Christian teligion over all others.
This Iwlng the last Sunday of the confer
ence y.-ar, a church conference w ill he held
tit Grac< Church this morning. Reports
from all departments of church work will
be received and matters of great import
ance considered. A full attendance of the
member* and friends Is desired. The
sacrament of the Lord's supper will also
be administered.
Visiting preachers will fill the pulpit of
Trinity Church this morning and to-night.
At the morning service the seimon will be
preached by Rev, Mr. P. L. Cobb of Nash
ville, who is In Savannah with Dr. Allen.
The chaplain of the Second Illinois Regi
ment, Rev. Dr. Bolton, will preach at the
evening service. He has been heard a
number of times by Savannah congrega
tions, and is regarded as one of the most
able preachers of the Seventh Corps. All
who have attended services of which he
was in conduct, have found them very en
joyable. The band of the Second Illinois
will be al the service, and will lead the
singing. Communion will follow the morn
ing service.
The announcement that Rev. Dr. Allen
will preach this morning at Wesley
Monumental Church will doubtless
draw a large congregation for the
servioe. Dr. Alien’s discussion of the Chi
nese situation, which is to lx? his subject,
will be both political and religious, and ft
is confidently expected lo be the most thor
ough and comprehensive presentation of
It that has been heard here.
The presiding elder of the Savannah dis
trict, Rev. Dr. John A. Thompson, will
preach this morning at the Seventh Street
Church. The sermon will be followed by
the administration of the sacrument of the
Lord's -supper.
The last quart - rly eonferenee of the year
will be held this afternoon at 4:30 o’clock
in the lecture room of the church. At this
meeting the annual election of stewards
and trustees wilt be held.
The band of the Second South Carolina
Regiment wifi be at the evening service,
an,l will play several sacred hymns. It
i will assist the choir in other music.

The now building of the Duffy Street
i Church is progressing finely under the
* direction of Contractor Bartlett. He
! expects to have it finished by
March 1. The congregation hits suffered
by storm and by a loss of funds through
the treasurer. The work on the new 1
building will cost aliuut JS.tiOO.
After so heavy a loss of the funds In
hand It will require brave qnd Indefatiga
ble work to finish the building without
j debt, This, however, is the purpose of
| the pastor and the church. Every energy
| Is being bent in this direction. During the’
coming wtek the citizens of Savannah will
1 be given an opportunity to assist in this
work. A committee, composed of the pus
| tor. Dr. J. D. Chapman, and two deacons,
; Messrs. B. L. Bugg and Norton Frierson,
! will solicit subscriptions.
'Perhaps no church In the city has over
grown quite so fast as this. Beginning
seven years ago with sixty-eight members,
it now has nearly 500. The congregation
grows all the time. The member* are
v< ty enthusiastic and are united tn every
good work. While many other churches
were injured by the recent storms, this one
has suffered, perhapß, mote than any. It
Is the youngest church In the city, and
no doubt many citizens will cheerfully con
tribute to the building up or a church tn
this giowing jiart of the city.
The services of the Duffy Street Baptist
Church will be held 10-tiay In Vang. -
j M ill. The pastor, llev. Dr. James D.
Chapman, will preach, taking as his morn
ing subject "Comforting Thought* for
God's Saints.” At night It, will preach u;>-
un "The Contrasted Characters and Des
tiny of the Wicked and the Righteous.”
At the First Baptist Church the
pastor, ltev. John D. Jordan, will preach 1
Till MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. DECEMBER 4,1?98.
both morning and evening. At the morning
hour he will conclude the series of sermons
on "A Model Church Member," and it
night he will discuss "Three Things Indts
pensible lo Success and Happiness, or the
First Steps of Every Successful Man’s
Creed." All persons without churdh en
gagements elsewhere are cordially invited
to attend all the services of this church.
The finance committee of the church will
meet just after the morning sermon.
Lutheran.
At the Lutheran Church of the Ascen
sion there will lie preaching by the.
pastor. Rev. W. C. Schaeffer, at 11 a. tn.
and S p. m. His morning subject will be
“Change.” and at night ne will preach on
"The Advent." The Sunday School will
meet at 4 p. m.. and begin the rehearsal
of the Christmas carols.
The ladles of the church will open their
Christmas sale to-morrow night at Ma
sonic Hall. This will be continued for ten
days. A fine array of beautiful articles
has been secured for the fair, and it is
hoped it will prove as great a success
as did that given by the ladies in the fall
of '96. There is a debt against the church
that was incurred through the [giving of
Drayton street, and the portion of Presi-.
dent between the church and the court*
house.
The last bazar given by the Lutheran
ladies netted tram more than enough to
pay off the bonded debt on the church
property, nnd it is hoped they may be
equally as successful on this occasion.
The. amount of indebtedness now cannot
be compared with that which was repre
sented in the bonds.
The First North Carolina Regiment
Band will lx- at the hall on the opening
night and will discourse sweet music. The
members of the band will be glad to te
pay the ladies in this way for their kind

Carolina Regiment. Music and refresh
ments will be had every night during tho
