Arrived Last Night and VIII Com
duct Their First Meeting This
Morning-WnI BE Assisted by Rev.
John A Thompson, Presiding Ell
der, and Rev. j. A. smith, City Mis-
sionary--E6Orts Have Been Made
for Months TO Secure the Services
of Miss Tucker, But They Have
Hitherto Proven Unsuccessful.
She Is Well known as Bible
Reader and League WOrker-TOp-
les of the Pastors for To-day.
Miss Emma Tucker who is probably the
leading woman church worker in the
South, arrived in Savannah last night, and
will conduct weeks services at the Sew
enth Street Methodist Church, beginning
at this mornings service. She is accom-
panied by her sister, Miss Tinnie Tucker
For several years efforts have been made
by the Methodist churches of the city TO
secure Miss Tucker to conduct services,
but hitherto they have been unsuccessful.
Her time had been taken up with engage
lnents for months ahead, and 1t was found
impossible to secure her.
Now that the congregation of the Sew
enth Street Church has been successful in
getting her TO conduct the weeks ser
vices they expect large assemblages to
hear her. The services viii be in the ma
ture of a revival, and everything possible
will be done to render them attractive.
They will be held every evening at s
O'Clock. Specia. arrangements for good
singing have been made, aud this viii be
an attractive feature of The services.
Last year an effort was made by the
Seventh Street Church to induce Miss
Tucker to come to Savannah, but it was
found, as il had been found before by
other congregations of the city, that her
engagements would not admit of it. Z
was aFceltained a few days ago by Rev.
j A. Smith, missionary preacher at Sa-
vannah, that Miss Tucker was at La
Grange and that she had no engagement
for the month. MIR. Smith was in Atlanta
at the time, and Immediately on his return
he communicated this Information to Rev
Mr.. j.. f. Morgan, pastor of the Seventh
Street Church. Mr.. Morgan at once wrote
Miss Tucker ana desired her to wire her
acceptance if she could do so. He was
greatly eiated to learn that she could
come.
IL is believed the congregations of the
other Methodist Churches, as wen as those
of other denominations, viii have many
representatives among those who viii hear
Miss Tucker. The fact that il has been
wished for a long time to have her carry
on a revival here is taken as an indca-
ton that she will not lack large congrega-
tons
Miss Tucker makes her headquarters at
Nashville. Her work is of an evangelistic
character, though she styles herself a Bible
reader and Epworth League worker. She
is well known throughout the country. and
her coming TO this city is an event in the
church history Of the year As a speaker
she is very attractive Her fuency as a
talker is remarkable and great success has
attended al her efforts
Many Of the younger Methodlsts of the
city know Miss Tucker quite well. Al the
meeting of the Epworth Leaguers of the
state two years ago al Atlanta she was
present and took a leading part in the
work. The Impression she created then
was quite favorable, and all who heard
