SERVICES FoR THE SOLDIERS.
serGt. Peyton Talked to brotherhood
of st. Andrew at St. Johns.


An interesting feature of the services
at ST. Johns Church last night was an
address by Sergt. John Howe Peyton of
the Second Volunteer Engineers, on the
work Of the Brotherhood Of st. Andrew
among the soldiers The object was to get
the purposes of the brotherhood clearly
before local members, who will be inter-
ested in the work il is intended to do
among the soldiers.
Sergt. Peyton has been a hard worker
in this work since the war started, and
has been largely instrumental in getting
the brotherhood established in both the
regular and volunteer armies He first
reviewed the work that has been done,
how the soldiers have become interested,
and have attended the meetings regularly.
There Is much room vet for service among
the soldiers, as what has thus far been
accomplished only shows the extent of
the work to be done.
The conditions at some OF the places I
VISITED were terrible" said Sergt Peyton,
though II is not proper TO say the fault
- on any one in particular. Each regi-
ment Is entitled to a chaplain, but this
seems not to have been followed out and
the result is the men are az the front in
many instances without the spiritual adj
vice they are entitled to. There is room
for the Brotherhood of St Andrew to ac-
complish great work among the soldiers.
Il was particularly surprised al the con-
dltion OF affairs in this regard at Hunts
vile, where I visited the other day. In a
large army consisting of over 10000 men,
did not see a chaplain. and there is no ser
vice at all conducted for the soldiers, ex-
cept when some Of the city ministers go
out. or they are called upon by a Catholic
priest, who is doing work among the men.
Those men need a helping hand, and it
seems 1t would be well if the Brotherhood
of st. Andrew would establish itself
there"
After the service The brotherhood was
invited to confer with Sergt. Peyton on
the best way to conduct religious work
among the soldiers in Savannah Many
took an interest in the work Ii is desir-
ed to do, met Sergt. Peyton, and assured
him of their hearty cooperation in what
ever is Undertaken along this line.

Church; Mr. c. w. West and Mr.. ]. r.

near Groveland where they attended the
meeting of the New Sunbury Baptist AS
ISOLATION. There was a large attendance
upon the meeting, and the Savannah del
egates returned well satisfied with the
work accomplished.
Mr. West was reelected moderator II
the association, a position he has held
for many years. Mr.. Cain was also re-
elected clerk for the fifth year.
The business transacted by the delegates
to the association was largely of the usual
routine character. In addition to this was
the consideration of the missions of the
association. Last year it was decided to
secure missionary who would have ex-
elusive charge of the missions. For some
reason tho preacher was not secured, how
ever. and this year It became necessary
to devise some other plan for keeping
up with the missionary work. Accord
ingly, it was decided that the best plan
would be for each preacher in the associ-
alton to devote two weeks of each year
10 the WOIk. ms Is not regarded as so
good a plan as that of having a regular
missionary but it was thought the best
that could be adopted under existing cir
cumstances.
New SunburY Association, or Sunbury
Association, as it was known before the
war, is one of the Oldest Baptist associ-
atoms in the state. It has quite a his
tory and has kept in a healthful and
thriving condition ever since its forma-
ton. Nearly all the Baptist churches ,,f
Chatham, Bryan and Liberty counties are
embraced in the association, though in
the division of the state into association
county lines are not followed. The next
meeting of the associa ton, which will be
at about this time next year, will be held
at Beulah Church, in Liberty county.
The association held it's first session
Thursday morning. Rev. DR.. Jordan
preached to the delegates and visitors on
Friday and Saturday. Rev. DIR. Chapman
also preached on Saturday morning The
meeting was brought to a close yesterday.

CHRISTIAN woRK FOR SOLDIERS

Savannah Pastors VIII Look After
Their Spiritual Welfare.
Rev. John D. Jordan of the First Bap-
tist Church is DESTROYS Of doing Christian
work among the soldiers. He expects to
take advantage of any opportunities that
may be offered of going among them to
conduct services
DIR. Jordan had a number of soldiers in
his CONGREGATION Yesterday morning, and
he then exhorted the members of his
church to receive the troops while they
are here in a friendly and Christian spirit
AS far as possible, every regiment has
an army and navy Christian commission
tent These tents are always large and
capable Of holding pretty good crowds.
Services are held in them frequently, and
an opportunity will thus be afforded Sa-
vannah ministers to go among the soldiers
to preach. There will doubtless be several
of them who win do so.
Rev. Arthur J. Smith has already en-
gagged In considerable work among the
troops of other places. He visited the
camps at Tampa and preached several
times. While at the North last summer
on his vacation he also went to the camps
and held services. The experienced gain
ed at those times win assist him in what
ever work he may undertake here.

c. L. AS AND LEES SOLDIERS.
Library Association Extends Them
the Privileges of Its Rooms.

The Catholic Library will extend an in
vitation to the members of the Seventh
Army Corps to visit its hall and the prvi-
leges of the rooms will be offered the
members during the stay of the corps in
Savannah. This was decided on at a spe-
eial meeting of the association yesterday.
A committee composed of Messrs. P. F.
Gleason, ]. ]. Higgins and Joseph w. Het-
fernan was appointed to write letter Of
invitation TO the corps and copies of it
viii be sent to the company commanders.
The Catholic Library Association is one
of the most successful organizations of its
kind in the South. 1t has an excellent
library, pool and billiard tables, a room
where all games can be played and a first
class gymnasium, with shower baths,
There is no doubt that the invitation of
the association will be appreciated and
that many of the soldiers will accept of
it and visit the rooms when they are
in the city.
The invitation of the library association
includes every man in the corps, officers
and privates alike and in this particular
it Is somewhat unique. The members of
the Catholic Library Association are
hospitable lot of fellows and the soldiers
are sure of fine treatment at their hands.
