DEDICATED THE STATIONS.
Blessed at st. Mary's Home by Vicar
General b. j. Kelley.


The new stations of the cross in the en-
larged and beautifed St. Marys Home
were dedicated and blessed by Reverend
Father B. ]. Kelley, vicar general and pro
tempore Bishop of Savannah at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon.
The dedication services had been post
poned from yesterday week ago because
of the inclemency of the weather on that
occasion. 1t had been especially desired
and requested that the members and
friends of the congregation appear in force
at the services, and in consequence of this
invitation and of the interest taken in the
work of the home in the southern section
of the city, the chapel was more than com
forts bly, filed when the services began
Besides the formal dedication and ad-
dress by Vicar General Kelley there were
musical numbers by a most excellent
choir. The services were interesting. as
well as solemn and impressive. The new
stations of the cross that have been erect
ed in the chapel are exceptionally beautt-
ful and in fine keeping with the rest Of
the building, in its present reiuvenated
FORM AS it now stands, the home will
be able tc accommodate a much larger num-
Der OF orphan children and thus material
ly increase the good work it has done In
the past. -

FRESH FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
A Private I'm the Fourteenth Infantry
Describes n SIxirmish.

A letter received in Savannah by w. w
Pemble from Private William schoeners-
bedt of Company l. Fourteenth Infantry
gives to the reader a close conception Of
the seamy side of the war in the Philip
pines, as 1t appears to the enlisted man,
who must bear the brunt of the fighting
and do the heaviest part of the work
This despite the fact that the letter is
written In perfectly cheerful vein. 1t is
intended for the perusal of Private Schoen-
ersbedt's friend, and hence abounds in
matters interesting only to them. Incl
dentally. though, and in a matter of fact
and modest way, 1t tells of an attack upon
Filipino stronghold and of the manner
in which the bushwhaeking war is waged.
The Fourteenth Infantry man says that
his company was aroused by the notes of
the reveile at o'clock in the morning
of a day in October and ordered to adj
vance. There was a preliminary hurried
breakfast of bareback and coffee, and then
the start was made. They were in what
is termed light marching order though
the equipment was heavy enough to cause
the stoutest to quail after few hours
marching, or ploughing, rather, through
the alternate swamps and rice fields of
which the country is made up. Besides
their rifles and bayonets, haversacks and
rations and poncho, with tin plate and cup,
the men carried $50 rounds of ammunition.
After going in this fashion for possibly
eight miles the enemy was sighted and a
skirmish line thrown out. From this time
the advance Yves cautious, the men be-
ing required frequently to lie down and in
this manner to escape the heavy fus fade
that came from the concealed enemy. The
rice fields were surrounded by swamps fill
ed with high and heavy bamboo, so that
it was Impossible for the eye to renetrate
beyond the edges of these thickets. So
heavy was the mud in the fields and
swamps that the men were often up to
their waists and were compelled TO drag
those of their comrades who had got out
of their depth through the morass. In the
occasional intervals Of dry ground they
emptied their haversacks of the mud and
water that had collected in them.
In this manner % or 80 miles were COW
cred, the company receiving and returning
constantly the fire Of the FiNpinos. The
latter retreated as the company advanced
and were never to be caught at quarters
sufficiently close TO permit what Private
Schoenersbedt calls "a real. good hard
fight" He complains plainively that he
could not tell whether he had killed a
dark-skinned gentleman or not, because of
the high bamboo thickets in which the
troops of the enemy were concealed. Dur
ing the skirmish the company captured 70
prisoners

COlOred Troops who Went to Bruns-

The colored troops who went to Bruins

were well pleased with their trip. They
were well entertained during their stay
in Brunswick and found the time pass
pleasantly and quickly. Local and visit
ing colored people enjoyed having the
troops among them and the latter no less
enjoyed their days iutermingling with the
others of their race.
Prof. r. r. Wright Of Savannah. presi-
dent of the Georgia Industrial School for
Colored Youths, was among the visitors
to Brunswick and was one of the chief
orators. His address touched upon the
relations existing between the whites and
blacks in the South, These he described
as being cordial and the spectacle of the
day. a fair given by whites with blacks
as specially invited guests, was citedN as
evidence of the good win entertained by
those of either race for the other.

OBSERVED THE LORDS SUPPER.
Impressive Service ut the Indepen-
dent Presbyterian Church.


The Lords supper was observed at the
Independent Presbyterian Church yester-
dny morning The attendance was I'M
usually large and the service was solemn
and impressive. The pastor Rev. Dr.
Fair announced the names of seventeen
new members, and administered the sac
rament of baptism to three. The collec-
ton was for the poor fund and the amount
contributed by the congregation was the
largest that has been given for this pur-
pose in years.
DR.. Fairs sermon was on the "Neces-
sity of the Atonement" his text being
from Hebrews, 9:22: without shedding
of blood is no remission The atone
ment was not necessary. in order to make
God mereiful, Dr. Fair said. for God was
merciful before there ever was any atone
ment. Mercy precedes atonement and is
the source from which it flows. The
atonement is only the means through
which Gods mercy seeks to
crown man with everlasting hap
piness. Mercy and atonement stand to
each other in the relation of cause and
effect Mercy was the cause, atonement
the effect and not as many enormously
assume, atonement the cause and mercy
the effect.
DR.. Fair argued that the atonenent was
necessary from the nature of sin and
mans inability to extricate himself from
its polluting clasp. Like Laocoove the
old Trojan priest, struggling with the SER
pent of the sea, man struggles with sin,
but is only enveloped more hopelessly in
the tightening coils. He needs to be de-
livered by the strength of a divine arm.
After the sermon a large number of
communicates gathered around the tables,
which We're set in the broad aisle of the
church. The music by the choir was pc
culiarly sweet and added much to the in
terest and enjoyment of the occasion. .
AT the preparatory service Saturday
night, Rev, w. Il. Watkins, pastor of the
Christian Church, preached a sermon
which was greatly enjoyed. 1t was his first
appearance in the pulpit of the Independ-
ent Church and the impression he made
was so favorable, that the embers Of the
church VIII be glad to welcome him 10
their pulpit again.
At the service last night Mrs. Dove sang
with splendid effect, Whites Moment
by Moment" Her sweet notes and sympa-
thetic expression brought tears 10 many
eyes. Mrs. Dove leaves for Baltimore tn
week and the Independent CHURCH most
reGretfully gives up her valuable services.
