NEWS OF THE CHURCHES.
EPwORTH LEAGUERs MAY COME
TO SAVANNAH NEXT YEAR.

Rev. DR.. RaEsda1e of Mercer Univer-
sity at the First Baptist Church
To-day-Rev. Bascom Anthony to
Review the Last Six Months of His
PastOrate-Rev. Charles II. Strong
VIII Conduct the Services mt St.
John's-"HOme Making Rev. A. j.
Smiths Subject at the First Pres
byterian Tonight Rev. j. A.
Thompson ut Grace Methodist.
The interest among the churches, partic-
ularly Methodist is centered this week is
the Epworth League Conference that was
held in Rome, beginning Thursday and
ending to-day.
The conference has attracted more than
usual interest from the fact that ID Is
quite likely to be the last state confer
ends OF the society, as there is a move
usent on foot, and one that has developed
considerable strength, 10 divide the State
Conference In conformity with the state
division of the church, into a North Geor-
gia Conference, and a South Georgia Con-
ference
Another interest that Savannahians in
particular have in the conference is that
the delegates from the local leagues went
instructed to invite the confer
ence to hold its annual meet
sng in 1901 In Savannah, If it is de-
cided to divide the conference. this invi-
cation will doubtless be withheld, and the
Executive Committee of the meeting be
asked to postpone the question of the next
place of meeting until the Savannah dele
gates can confer with the local leagues.
A distinguished visitor to Savannah to-
day is Rev. Il. D. Ragsdale, d. D., who
will conduct both morning and evening
services at the First Baptist Church. DR..
Ragsdale is one of the younger men in
the ministry of his denomination and one
of the ablest. He is regarded by many
as the ablest expounder of the Bible in
Georgia. He occupies the Bible chair in
Mercer University and is very popular with
the boys as well as the entire denomina-
ton of the South. A treat is in store for
all those who hear him.
Pastor John d. Jordan fully expected to
be at home to-day, but the committee held
that some of the pastors ought to remain
in Atlanta and preach. AS DIR. Jordan had
not preached in Atlanta during his resi-
dence in the state they specially claimed
him. He finally consented to remain on
condition that DR.. Ragsdale be sent 10
supply his pulpit
