VOLUME XIX, No. 130.
The Ninety-Second Annual Convention of
the Episcopal Church in Diocese of
Georgia Will Be Held This
Week in Albany, Ga .
The ninety-second annual conven
tion of the Episcopal church in the
diocese of Georgia will be held next
Wednesday and Thursday, May 13 and
14, in St. Paul’s church, Albany, the
Rev. G. A. Cornell, rector. The first
convention of this liocese was held in
St. Paul's church, Augusta, in 1823,
at which the diocese of Georgia was
organized. On that interesting occa
sion only two parishes were represent
ed, old Christ church, Savannah, and
St. Paul’s, Augusta.
Constitution.
A constitution was drawn up, adopt
ed and signed by all the delegates
present. The original of this docu
ment is now in the possession of St.
Paul's church in this city and is treas
ured among its archives. The follow
ing year, or in 1824, Christ church,
Macon, was represented, and from that
time on the diocese grew steadily un
der the guidance and apostolic labors
of its successive bishops: Bishop
Stephen Elliott, the eloquent Bishop
Beckwith and Bishop C. K. Nelson.
A few years ago it became evident
that the extent of territory and the
number of parishes and missions
made a burden too great for one man,
so the diocese which then covered the
whole state was divided into two sec
tions by a line starting just north of
Richmond county and running diag
onally across the state and ending
just south of Columbus.
Southern Portion.
The southern portion retained the
name of the archives of the old dio
cese of Georgia; the northern portion
became a new diocese and took its
name from its chief city, Atlanta.
Bishop Nelson, having the right of
choice, elected to become the bishop
of Atlanta. The old portion then
elected the Rev. Dr. F. F. Reese, of
Nashville, as bishop of Georgia.
It is this diocese that will meet in
Albany next week. The opening ser
vice trill be held at 10 o’clock, at
which the bishop will celebrate the
Holy Communion and deliver his an
nual address. This address will re
view the work of the past year and
give such counsel and direction to the
clergy and laity as the bishop sees fit:
Called to Order.
After this service, which is attended
by all the clergy vested in their robes,
the convention is called to order by
the bishop and organized for business.
The membership consists of all the
United Revival Meetings to Close;
Conducted By Rev. Frank Wright
Began April 19th and Have Been Carried on For More Than
Two Weeks—From the Beginning the Congregations Have
Been Very Satisfactory—Seating Capacity Taxed at Tmes
The meetings held under the direc
tion of the Pastors Association and
conducted by Rev. Frank Hall Wright,
noted “Indian Evangelist,” will come
to a close with the service this even
ing.
The meetings begun April the 19th,
and have been very satisfactory. At
times the seating capacity of the large
C. and W. C. depot would not hold the
multitudes. Often on Sunday nights
the people have sat on benches and
automobiles, just anywhere to hear
the preaching and the singing. Of
course week night crowds have not
been so very large, but theey have
shown the interest of the people in the
Gospel.
Added Impetus.
The churches will all receive an ad
ded impetus as a result of the ser
vices. At this time it is not possible
to tell just how many may be added
to the different church organizations,
but it will be large. The churches not
represented in the meetings will be
helped just like those directly con
nected with the movement. Dr. W. T.
Hamby has had charge of the cards
and he has faithfully looked after all
who placed their names in his hands,
and the pastors will see them in a few
days at least. It is likely that scores
will be added to the churches.
High Order.
The services of Mr. Wright have
been of a very high order. He has not
used questionable methods to arouse
the people. From the first services
he has preached the old time gospel,
and it is remarkable how well he has
held the large crowds from day to day.
He has not given the people a lot of
“spread eagle oratory,"—all of his ser
mons have been delivered in great
simplicity of speech and manner. He
has used the scriptures to a remarka
ble degree. One is often surprised at
the many passages of Bible verses that
seems to be at his finger tips. The
verses are the points with which he
fixes the truth in the min of his hear
er. In all of his preaching not once
has he stooped to slang, and his sin
cerity of purpose has won for him the
confidence of the people who have
heard him.
Strong Chorus Choir.
Mr. Goode has developed a real
strong chorus choir. He has been able
to hold and develop a large number of
people of nil ages. Many of the songs
were new /yme of them were difficult
for beginners; all of them required
more or less attention After a feew
evenings from a hundred to two hun
dred voices were blending in harmony
under the leadership of the excellent
young man who hails from northwest
Georgia. Mr. Goode and Mr. Wright
make a strong team of gospel work
ers. Both have well developed voices
and they use them very successfully
with or without the choir. A real at
tractive and helpful feature of the
meetings has been the singing of so
los by *hese genctleemen
CoMections 0. K.
The collections have not been what
the ministers have desired. While Mr.
Wright makes no charge for his labors
he is Justly due more than the unstint
ed praise of those who have heard him
preach and sing. A silver offering has
been asked and envelopes have been
distributed for that purpose. The pas
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
clergy at work in the diocese together
with three laymen from each self
supporting parish and one layman
from each organized mission. Since
the'"division of the diocese the con
vention is not a very large one. The
business of the convention consists in
reports upon the various departments
of the work, the consideration of such
reports oy special committees and
such action as the convention sees fit
to take. Th- treasurer of the various
funds also make their reports.
Nothing Unusual.
On the first morning of the con
vention a missionary service and
meeting is held, with several addresses
and reports from our own mission
fields in this diocese. One of the ad
dresses at this service will be made
by Mr. W. K. Miller, of Augusta.
There is no business this year of any
unusual interest, but will be chiefly
routine. The delegates will doubtless
be hospitably entertained by the good
people of Albany. Usually a luncheon
or a reception or both are tendered
the delegates.
Officers.
The officers of the diocese of Geor
gia at the presnt time are as fol
low's:
Bishop—Rt. Rev. F. F. Reese, D. D.
Secretary—Rev. S. J. French, Bruns
wick,
Treasurer—Mr. W. K. Miller, Au
gusta.
Registrar—Mr. F. G. Bell, Savannah.
Chancellor, Mr. Wm. K. Miller.
Standing Committee —Rev. G. S-
Whitney, president; Rev. D. W. Winn,
Rev. J. B. Lawrence, H. C. Cunning
ham, A. B. Moore and E. S. Elliott,
secretary.
Archdeacons—Ven. D. W. Winn,
Ven. Wm. Johnson, Ven. J. B. Law
rence, and Ven S. B. McGlohon.
The delegates from St. Paul’s, Au
gusta, who will probably go are
Messrs. W. K. Miller, F. F. Powers
and B. B. Russell, Jr.
Woman’s Auxiliary.
The Woman’s Auxiliary of the dio
cese, which is our Woman’s Mission
ary Society, will also open its annual
meeting in Albany on Tuesday, the
12th. Mrs. W. H. Elliott, of Savan
nah, who is the president, will pre
side. Their sessions are always full
of interest and inspiration. Just what
delegates will go from Augusta is not
known at the present writing.
tors are very anxious that the offering
shall be satisfactory. They request
that you make your personal contri
bution large as possible. The salary
of Mr. Goodeo is fixed and is included
in the incidental expenses. The ser
vice tonight will be your last oppor
tunity to give to the Evangelist. You
are asked to make your offering with
out fail.
Impossible to Tell.
It is impossible to tell at this time
just what the meetings will mean to
Augusta. It is quite ovident that a
large number have expresseed - a de
sire to live the Christian life, but how
many no one knews as the last meet
ings of today and tonight will be the
principal time of harvest. But aside
from the number enrolled with the
churches is the feeling of harmony
that prevails among the preachers.
This of itself is a valuable asset from
the city.
The pastors appreciate the kindness
of the press in giving space to ad
vertise t he meetings and assist in
making them a success. The kindness
too, of the officials of the C. and W.
C. Railroad has been often spoken of
as it saved the association several
hundred dollars and made possible the
getting of Mr. Wright and Mr. Goode
at this time. Rev. M. M. Macferrin
has done much toward keeping the
meetings before the public. He has
done most of the writing for the press,
and his reports have been very satis
factory. Most of the ppreachers have
given their undivided time to the
meetings, and they rejoice in the
blessings that have come to the city.
Highest Appreciation.
Messrs Wright and Goode will car
ry with them the highest appreciation
of all the church people of Augusta
who had the pleasure to hear them.
There is no excitement from which the
churches can suffer as the services
have been of a very conservative na
ture. Those who have applied for
church membership will likely make
excellent members of the churches. Mr.
Wright's messages are calculated to
increase the love and the support of
the churches for the local ministers.
To them he has been a staunch friend
and his insisted that the success of the
Christian religion in any community
depends on those who do the trying
work of the pastors. Taking all things
into consideration, the meetings have
beeen a success, and the people will
show their appreciation In a substan
tial way at the meetings today and
tonight.
