Bishop Nelson Tells the ClerEymen
Something About Church Music.
The convocation of the Episcopal arch
deaconry closed yesterday. Bishop Nelson
met the clergy In Christ church at II O'Clock
in the morning and discussed with them
various systems and methods of church
work.
In the afternoon at o'clock Sunday
school conference was held at st. Johns
church, participated in by the children and
teachers OF Christ's, st. Johns and st. Paurs
churches.
There were about 800 children present
besides number Of older people
The children Gang some of their songs and
repeated the Lords prayer aud the creed.
Bishop Nelson delivered an address to the
children. The bishops address was so sim
pie and kindly III It's nature that
every 4-year child could understand
it and showed that he knew how to talk to
children and win their attention The chill
dren were very much interested In his sto-
ries and responded readily TO his questions
If bishop Nelson makes as great a success OF
managing the older people of his diocese as
he does the children be will make a great
record.
Bishop Nelson addressed the members of
the church choirs and others interested in
church music at the parish hall OF St Jonns
church last night. There were about 100
people present and the bishops address was
listened to with great interest. He showed
a very practical knowledge of church music,
evidently gained by long experience. He is
evidently very familiar with the subject
aud has q wide knowledge OF eacred music
of all descriptions. Those who expected the
introduction Of new ideas and innovations
In church music we're disappointed.
Bishop Nelson leaves this morning for
Guyton, where he will spend day or two.

CRACK SHOTS AT THE TARGET.

The Rife Range at the Bicycle Grounds
Opened.
The rife range at the new bicycle park
southeast Of the city was opened up yester-
day afternoon by . contest between two
teams Of the Savannah Rife Association.
President MoAlpin appointed DIR. +. C.
Wilson captain OF the first team, and Capt
J. p. White captain of the second. They
selected their own teams as follows:
First Team-F. G. Wilson, w. w.
Nichols, George T. Cam, r. X. Dancy and
j. G. Postell.
Second Team--J. P. White, j. d. Martin,
c. 8. Richmond, j. NJ. Bryan and George
7. Cope.
The second team was badly handicapped
by the absence OF DR.. Martin and Mr..
Bryan. A. 8. Elchberg. the alternate, was
substituted for Mr.. Bryan and Prof. Rich
mond shot twice to make up for the absence
Of DR.. Martin. The result was 976 points
for Wilson's team TO 1923 for Whites, each
man 20 shots. The contestants were highly
pleased with the grounds for q short range,
and the probability Is that they will be we'll
patronized Tor practice by the military aud
rifle clubs. The teams will shoot again by
Feb. !, when ii is expected 10 have the full
membership Of each team present.
