TRINITY,s NEW PASTOR.
Rev. j. II. scrugss breaches HIS First
Sermon in the Church.

Rev. J. II. Scruggs, who comes to
Trinity Methodist church Of Savannah,
for the ensuing year. conducted services
for the first time for his congregation
yesterday morning and last night
Mr.. Scruggs IS comparatively a new
minister in the South Georgia conference
having come to It two years ago from the
Mississippi conference, where he has for
twelve years been serving the Methodist
church. Prior to that time he served in
the Memphis, Louisiana and Missouri con-
ferences. He IS a native Of Mississippi,
born and reared near COrinth, in that
state. His home was near the famous
Shiloh battlefelds.
When he came to Georgia, he was sent
TO Dawson, where his labOrs met with
great success, and it was with much re-
luctance that his people there gave MIN
Bishop Payne, is an earnest and success
ful worker in church affairs and renders
her husband great assistance in his pas
tOral work.
At the morning service yesterday, Rev.
Mr.. Scruggs preached upon, The Nativi-
W, taxing as his text the hrst
chapter Of Matthew. He spoke Of the
visit OF the magi TO the birth place Of the
savior and the providentiai guidance Of
these men, worshipers of heavenly bodies,
AAA' otttA IA tlAN ~e.-'tf
TO pay tribute to the new born Christ;
the providence which guided them TO
their homes and defeated the purposes
of the relgning Herod.
He then took UP the great Importance
TO mankind of the advent of Christ and
discussed the far reaching possibilities in
the lie OF Christ, so imperfectly under
stood BY the wisest of men to-day. 1t
was the coming of a new Adam to per-
feet the purposes of God in the high life
OF man. His advent into the world on
the plane Of human nature was so in or
der that the hearts and minds of men
might be elevated TO the highest thought
or God. Thus the divine purpose will be
accomplished through the humiliation
and suffering of this prince of peace.
The service was well received by large
congregation, which fully appreciated the
fact that in It's new minister it had a
man of ahiEty and learning. While de-
llverlng his sermon Mr. Scruggs spoke
from the chancel. from which place his
grace as an orator and his Evolutionary
powers showed to great advantage.
Appropriate music, programme of
which appeared in yesterdays Morning
News, was well rendered and contributed
no little toward making the service in
teresting.
The trustees Of Trinity are contemplate
ing some extensive Improvements on the
parsonage, which will probably be begun
Immediately after the holidays. 1t is prob
able that the old brick residence at Hull
ana Barnard streets i'm Orleans square
Will probably be torn down entirely and
a new residence built For the present
Rev and Mrs. Scruggs are residing at
No. 20 President street.

CHRISTMAS ALL THE GO NOW.
The MIdwinter Holiday Season at Its
Hight.


The Christmas holidays are on in fun
blast. There is no doubt about it now,
when the small boy cannot repress his
feelings even. on Sunday, but must let them
burst forth in the shape of an exploding
frecracker or the flight of 1O-cent rocket
The police will have to exert pretty
good generalshp to carry out the letter
and spirit of the fireworks and bonfire
ordinance. The irrepressibility of small
boy spirits is an admitted fact. and if
bonfires are to be stopped and fire works
kept within the limits, the police have
got to be on the qui vive They can't
stop the flight of rocket after It has
gone north of Jones street, nor can their
legs carry them as fast as pitch and pine
will start a blaze around an empty bar
rel but they will give II q lively chase
and the small boy viii have to look ou9
for himself. The situation promises to
be an interesting one, and 1t will no doubt
be amusing to see what efforts are made
TO carry out the terms Of the new law
The police will enforce IL strictly, how
ever.
The streets are alive with Christmas
shoppers, and every minute on Broughton
no doubt look like Saturday night The
year for business is only a moderate one.
Money has not been so easily made that in
cen be easily spent for trihes nor is there
such dearth of it that Christmas viii

Many of the Christmas windows are
quite attractive, and some few of them
are original and unique in appearances,
but Few of them present anything ex-
cepuOnal or out of the ordinary

POPULAR LINCOLN PARK.


Pleasant Time.
Famous Family Resort" most ap.
proprlate name. indeed, for popular and
pretty Lincoln Park on the Delaware.
One needs only to take single trip to be
convinced OF this, for there. In the shady
grove and picnic grounds, be will find
any number OF ladies and children, who
have gone to the park for days outing.
They have delightful sail on the river.
and no end OF amusementa when they
reach the grounds. 1t Is n most charm.
ing place to take the little ones out of the
clty's heat, and there Is no doubt that the
cooling river breezes have many times
proved beneficial to both mothers and
children, who are compelled to remain
cooped up in the hot city all summer.
During the week there has been an In.
crease In the crowds that have gone down.
Probably the warmer weather was an In.
oentlva. 1t Is certain that during heated
term the public know where TO seek re-
lief, and thus the Lincoln Park boats keep
filled day and evening. There IL nothing
pleaBanter than an after upper trip, and
even the last boat the Chauncey Vibbard,
takes goodly numbar down every night
many OF whom go for the sail alone.
while othere want 10 spend an hour at the
park.
Big preparation are already being made
for the Fourth OF July. 1t lie proposed to
patrlotioally celebrate the Lation's holiday.
Wannemaeher's big military band has pre-.
pared special programme. almost entire.
ly composed OF patriotic airs. Pain. the
celebrated fireworks mar. of New York,
who furnishes the big displays at Man hat.
tan Beach, has been engaged to give the
patrons of the park one OF the RrRndast
fireworks dlspluys they have ever witness.
ed Besides this there will bo all the other
amusements and the beautiful fairyland
illumination at night.
There Is not q duh moment ct this
pretty resort. and no reason on earth why
everyone who takes the trip cannot enjoy
themselves 10 the utmost. Nowhere near
Philadelphia Is there the same variety of
amusements, such an excellent band or a
finer sail on the river. Steamers run
hourly from Race ana Christian streets,
Philadelphia.
