The Epwprth Leaguers were busy
yesterday, and from sunrise till late
at night they were as busy ae could be
in '.'heir noble work.
The whole city assumed an air of
busiy importance, In spite of the fact
that Epworth League colors floated
from almost every business house and
everybody wore badges of such de
sign as to Indicate that everything and
everybody was enjoying a holiday.
At each service the large lent was
filled, and last night when Dr. Monk
appeared according to programme sev
eral hundred people bad to be turned
away. The tent is capable of seating
3,500 people and about a thousand more
can stand around the edges. The seats
were all occupied last night and the
standing room was crowded.
The wea ther was too cool for the sun
rise prayer meeting to be held et
Crump's Park, according to pre-ar
ranged programme, and the Mulberry
R*reet Methodist church was used In
stead. About two (hundred people gath
ered there, and. under the direction of
Miss Tucker of Gainesville, a most de
lightful meeting was held.
•Mrs. C. L. Bass of Clarksville con
ducted the devotional exercises at
9:40 o'clock.
The reports of the president, secre
tary and treasurer wore full of interest
and showed the leagues of Georgia
have done a wonderful work during the
past year.
President Smith read the following
message:
Our chief Idi-a during the year has
been organisation. Twenty-two of the
twenty-three districts have had district
secretaries, but three a,re now vacant.
The secretaries have done work In most
can?*, and Reoretarlee*. Glenn, Manson,
Bell. Davies and Tiles McKenzie have
had district conferences of especial
value. We commend the organization of
the state by districts. We recommend
that the district secretary be president
of the district conference.
We have written about 700 personal
letters during the year on League
Work.
We re-ommend that this body shall
take such action na shall influence the
general conference to provide the ex
penses of the central office from a gen
eral fund collected by church confer
ence authorities, a c»rtain portion of
same to be paid to the general treas
urer. and a portion to he left for state
U"e. To this end we believe that the
Epworth League should have some con
stitutional organization between the
central office and the Individual
league!.
We recommend that the Cate con-
ffence meet biennially.
Three appeals of interest have been
presented to the president which will
probab'y come before this body.
1. Aid to the temperance cause.
2. Aid to the orphans? homes of the
two conference*.
8. To send one or more missionaries
to the foreign field.

fered nuggcrtlons about how to stimu

work &J&* '?*“"• Bor suggestions
were bright and at the oime time prac
tical. They made a good impression on
the convention.
A paper on the literary department of
the league work had been prepared by
Mr. R. P. Stephens of Smlthvllle, but
as he could not be present his paper was
read by Mr. O. A. Park of Macon.
Profeosor W. R. Webb of Belibuckle,

speaker® on subjects of this kind to be
found within the chimb, and he sus

levelling sea.lon.
The devotional service last night was
conducted by Rev. M. J. Cofer of
Dougla®avllie, who is chairman of the
League board of the North Georgia
conference. Mr. Cofer also made an. In
teresting talk on the needs of the
League and of the opportunities that
present themselves to tho League in
devotional work.
Tie mnln address of the evening was
that of Dr. Alonso Monk, formerly pas
tor of Mulberry Street church In Ma
con, but now pastor of Centenary
church In Chattanooga, Tenn. Dr. Monk
held his audience for more than an hour,
and stirred them with enthusiasm. Hi*
eloquence nnd powers are well known to
the people of Macon, aud many of them
bad sought no opportunity to hear him
again last uight, and those who had
never heard him were equally as well
pleased with what he said, and the man
ner in which he said it. He talked of
old-tune religion and Its blessings sail
oura or twlee during the course of his
talk he raised ihe tune of "Thvt Old-
time Religion," and was joined by near
ly every voice In the large congregation,
and the music mude the welkin ring.
Again the doctor storied oft on "The
Sweet Bye and Bye," nnd was joined bv
the several .thousand voices. Tills was
one of the most Impressive font urea ot
the great conference, and it filled many
soulH with warmth.
Afp-r Dr. Monk closed his speech. Dr.
H. C. Morrison, the missionary secretnrv
of the general board of the league, made
a short address,on foreign missions, nnd
at the conclcolon he made a proposition
to the Georgia leaguers that they sup-
port a missionary in foreign fields. He
said this will take about 11,000 per year.
On suggestion of (Dr. Steele this matter
was deferred until toduy. and nn effort
will b<- made this morning to have the
leagues ef the state .to pledge that
amount.
EPWOBl'Il LK.XHUB PABAOByrng.
Dr. Alonzo Monk leaves this morning
at 11 o'clock to return to bis home in
Chnttanoogu;
The Bell Telephone Company put n
telephone into the league tent free of
cost to the leaguers. The number 1*1500,
so that all JVIucon will be In communi
cation wllb th© tent whenerer it to acc
essory.
The electoral college met last night,
ana while no names were given out, it
Is eniid upon pretty good authority that
Mr. J. L. Gerdine, president of the Mul
berry Street league In Macon, wna elect
ed president of the state league for next
year.
. The vast crowds -that attend the meet
ings ot every service and stay to the
end are an evidence of the Interest the
people are taking in this young people’s
movement. If one thinks interest in
things Christian is dead or dying, or
likely to die shortly in human hearts,
let him attend one of these meetings.
•My. how these leaguers do sing. They
express the earnestness and zeal that
characterizes them in their song*. They
allow no choir, however la-rge or com
petent, to sing for them. They know n
thing or two in that line themselves,
and when a thousand lusty young voices
let themselves out on a flunllinr chorus
one feels the blood quicken in h!o veins.
One of the best things said in the
meeting was by Professor Webb, when
he deelared that God- Intended Jong
centuries ago that be *honld come here
at the rate of fifty mile* an hour, but
he chose hla own wuy of bringing It to
pass. Had Ho chosen to do so He could
have given him legs three miles long.
But He only gave man a mind and In
him work out the problem.
The speeches have been far above the
average. The speakers have ahown their
appreciation of their position by making
careful preparation nnd the audienca
«how their appreciation of the speeches
by careful, earnest attention and liberd
applause. The onlooker is soon con
vinced that specters and hearers are
here for n purpose nnd that they are
agreed on that purpose. The only point
at Issue la how to’ reach it.
The address by Hev. Sam Jones to
morrow afternoon will l»e one of the
features of the convention. The time is
The subject is the extermination
of the liquor traffic. Mr. Jones Is stop
ping with Mrs. c. M. Orr on College
otreel. During his address Sunday «f-
teraoim (the Bell Telephone Company
will arrange irn appnrntus at the speak,
era sUimcl ami make coaneetions with
about thirty different towns In the
state, so that the address may bo heard
la all of them.
One la not only impressed with the size
of the crowds, but also by their com-
P'exlty and Ihe wide range of life from
whirl; they are drawn. They are not
merely a band of enthusiastic young
girls and boys drawn together by a mo.
mentnry wave of enthusiasm, but there
is a good sprinkling of the 'gray and
reverend seniors" also. One will see be
hind league badges men and women
from nil positions in life, and represen
tatives of nil professions nnd calling*.
Oae lias but to look »?rionsly to be im
pressed that there is a solidity and
strength In the movement that promise
permanence. The youth, tho joy and en
thusiasm, are only ns the vinos and
flowers on the hill side, there is solid
granite beneath.

How (o Amuso and Caro for the Young
Patients.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
How to make happy the weary hours
of her little ones who are ill fa the
problem which engages many a mother
just now. So much depends on the nat-
ure of the Illness, and the patient's con
dition from day to day, that no precise
can be ' a ' ( l down. Fortunately,
children who have good constitutions
““Oally pass through the diseases of
childhood without any grave complica
tions. Very often, as the physicians will
say, there is really not much to be
done, except to keep the child warm, and
happy, und guard the eyes from strong
light or much ure.
TV™ look bMk xpon our
ta ™ of • ohlckenpox, measle® and the
rest of the list as a time when we re
ceived the undivided! attention of a de
voted mother: perchance held court in
her own room, and ate invalid fare
Irom her daintiest china. Even the fast
lading memory of some discomfort we
exporience-d la ma<lo sweet with the
recollection of the touch of the soft
mother hand that brought comfort to
burning flesh or aching brows. To such
there. will be no lack of inspiration as
to what to do for their own little one*.
There Is nothing more vital than
cheerfulness. This the mother must
maintain under all circumstances. , A
child that is ill will naturally be list
less and fretful. It is best to take this
for granted. The gifted and ready *tory
tel.ier ha® a great field now, for tlie
story, told now often possesses greater
Interest than one read from a book A
rapid readercan edit as she reads leav
ing out long words and adding little
explanations, which make what Is read
fit the listener better. Nothing lessens
** effectually as occupying
the mind with pleasant thoughts. Tears
of f e 5 lb ««t supplanted by diverting
the mind with now and happy ideas,
kvon tho meal times may bo made a
tvource of amusement. Whatever a little
part!curt, may oat ehould be served in
the mqs't attractive way. The tra.v,
w'jth * - now r y dolly, and, whenever pos
sible, a flower or green leaf to grace It,
even the dishes used should bo attrac
tive. One little Invalid derived endless
pleasure from trying to guess what
pretty cup would next hold Ms milk.
A little girl wrill Und comfort Jn hav
ing one of her dolls duly attired in robe
do nult to stay In bed wkh her. If the
disease Is contagious, like scarlet fever,
no playthings or books should be used
in tho sick room, except those you are
willing to bum afterwards. Therefore
pictures and all sorts of paper toys will
be of tfcrvlce. A pair of seifwors and a
supply of wrapping paper will furnish
aper dolls without stint. Kvery ono
knows how to fold a piece of paper and
cut a paper doll. If something ready
made -Is desired the sheets of paper
doll**, animals and doll’s furniture are
very pleawing. The cutting out of these
affords great amusement. The animals
and horses can have a little strip of
paper pasted <m the back, so they will
stand up ,and can be grouped on the
bod, If the little patient Is still under

* The hurry and bustle of the housewife
Is extremely wearing upon the drfllcate
organism of womouhood. Her intenan ear
nestness in whatever she undertakes, tempts
her constantly to gn beyond her strength.
Head the story of a Colorado woman as
told to our reiK*rtcr: “Eight years ago/'
said she, “my husband dlc«l. and I was left
with three cniMreu to caro for nnd educate.
Alxtut two years aj,o I was very sick with
blood poisoning, canned by nn nbscess that
bad hot received ptoper treatment. The
disease for a lime settled in my throat, caus
ing me intense ngony. Then iufluinmntnry
rheumatism set in. For four months nnd n
half I was a prisoner in my room, most of
the time confined lo my lied. My hands
were swollen so that I could not feed myself,
and the swelling In my feet and ankles
would have made walking impossible If I
had 1 mn\ strong enough.
“One day, after considerable treatment,
mr physician brought me a box of pills.
'‘You need a tonic," he said, "and some
thing that will net at once, nnd this la Ihe
best medicine I know of for that purpose."
“PUJs," I exclaimed in surprise as he
opened the box nnd showed me the little
pink globes. “ These are Dr. Williams' I’iuk
Pills for Pale People."
"Yes." he replied, “but you need not he
alarmed, they are not physic, nnd my word
for it. they’ll do yon good."
From the CMe/Mn t IHicblo, Col
Ilefore I had been taking them a week I
noticed a great improvement In my con
dition. Soon my rlicumotism was gone, 1
grew stronger each day and now am In the
best of health.

" I consider Dr. Williams' Pink PHla tor

tonic I have ever known."
“ A friend not long ago was telling me of
her mother who U at a critical period In her
life. She had been subject to terrible faint

overher. Dr.WillintiiH' Pink ('ills have not
only stopped (ho fainting spell.*, hut given
her so much strength that she i> uidc to tak*
up life’s duties again.
