EPW0RTH CHURCH.

The report given by Rev. ]. A. Smith,
pastor of -Epworth Church to the con-
gregation was also an excellent one
Epworth Church has now q total MEM
bership of 245. OF this number forty
five have been received during the past
year. This number includes admission
by letter, and by conversion. During
the year five members have been lost
by death. The pastor, including those
baptized yesterday, has baptized TWEEN
ty-ffve persons during the past year.
In material lines good advance is
noted For all purposes the church has
raised $500 during the past year. The
pastors salary has been paid in full
the benevolent collections have all been
raised, and the conference assessments
are all in. The ceiling and walls of
the church have been calcimined. a
new vocation reed organ has been in
stalled, and the choir has been COM
pletly reorganized.
Yesterday marked the close of Rev
Mr.. Smiths pastorate at Epworth
Church, and accordingly full reports
were made of the past four years. Ep-
worth Church is only six and one-half
years old, so that by far the greater
part of its history has been made I'M
der the care of Rev. Mr.. Smith. The
record is very good one. From a
small membership 1t has been built up
to its present good showing. To-day
there is no Indebtedness on the build
tngs or grounds During the four years
the church has raised, for work of all
Kinds, $4,000. This is a record of which
any church might well feel proud.

TRINITY CHURCH.

The report for the year at Trinity
Church was made at the morning serv-
ice. The report is a glowing one and
shows that the oldest church in Sa-
vannah is losing none of its prestige.
A summary of the report is as fol-
lows:
The total membership is now 476. OF
this number siXty-eight have been
received into the fellowship of
the church since the close of
the last conference year. This
number includes the acccssions
both by letter and conversion. During
the year the pastor, Rev. A. NJ. Will
liams, has baptised twenty persons.
The church has two Epworth Leagues
with a combined membership of 1870.
OF this number, eighty-tive are mem
bers of the Senior League, and As of
the Junior.
The work done by the leagues has
been excellent. For use in different
lines, more than $50 has been raised
There have been 52S sick persons visit
ed 104 visits paid for religious pur-
poses, and ten visits made to strang-
ers. Fifty bouquets have been sent at
different times to the hospitals, and 1876
garments have been distributed to the
needy. In addition the league pays
for the support and clothing of one
child in the Orphans Home at Ma
con.
The Sunday-school has thirty officers
and teachers, and 4S7 pupils. A dea-
coness has carried on her work at the
church throughout the year. The kim
dergarten has been well attended. The
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society
has grown to a membership of fifty
two.
In the financial line the church has
also had a successful year. All the con-
ference collections have been raised
and an excess is reported by the treas
urer. The total amount raised for
work in all lines by the church during
the past year is $6.500

DEPARTED REMEMBER
FRIENDS ON EARTH.
Scripture Used by Rev. Mr.. smith to
Prove Statement.

Rev. ]. A. Smiths farewell sermon
last night as pastor of the Epworth
Methodist Church was delivered from
the subject, DO the Departed Forget
Us?" The sermon dealt with the an
swer TO the question that rises in the
minds of so many in thinking of their
dead. 1t was a companion sermon to
the one delivered on last Sunday night
from the subject, After Death.
What?"
Mr., Smith called attention to the fact
that the questions. DO the dead for
gets us, and does death shut off the
world from the departed?' and do
the spirits of those gone before sym
pa thize with us in our sorrows and
share our delights?" often arise in the
mind. The questions are especially
prone to come up in the latter days
of life, when meditation occupies the
greater part of the time of mortals.
The questions were answered in a
strong denial of the claim that there
is no remembrance after death.
I'VE are bound to heaven" said Mr..
Smith, not only by a holy faith, but
by a strong affection. The spirits OF
port of which there is ample scriptural
evidence The parable of the rich man
and Lazarus is one of the strongest
proofs of remembrance. Even in the
midst of his torment, Dives remem-
bered his five brethren on earth, ana
asked that one be sent to warn them.
Abraham's answer is another proof, in
that he said TO Dives, Son. remem-
ber.'
Secondly, when we enter the fell
lowship and communion of the church
we confess to a belief in the com
munion of saints Death is only a
separation of the body and the soul.
and doesn't effect memory.
Thirdly, there are scriptural refer
ences to prove that the saints remem-
Der us. Christ, in speaking to those
who came before Him on the judgment
day, shows that He remembered when
He says, I was naked and We clothed
Me not, and hungered and We fed Me
not; sick and in prison and ye visited
Me not And then, again, If we cam
not remember our acts and friends on
earth, how are we to give an account
of our earthly stewardship.
"Fourthly, the saints know more of
us than we do of them. The scripture
states this time and time again. The
angels are often referred to as min
istering' to those on earth. When Christ
was on earth in the flesh angels We're
with Him and ministering unto Him.
The entire scripture supports this view.
Lastly, the very quality Of love pre-
cludes forgetting. Love never faileth.'
Love is an undying affection and the
dissolution of the body cannot change
an attribute of the soul. Dives re-
membered the companions with whom
he had associated on earth, and his
love for them prompted him, in the
midst of his own suffering and tor
ment, to ask that one from heaven be
sent to warn them"
Rev Smith will probably occupy the
pulpit of the Epworth Church until his
successor is installed and ready to take
up the duties of the charge. The SER
mon last night was, however, his last
as pastor of the church. and the con-
gregation which assembled was the
largest that has been gathered in Ep-
worth Church in some time.

WESLEY MONUMENTAL.

A summary of the report which
would be made at Wesley Church was
given. The church is now one of the
largest in the city in point OF mem
bership. Ninety new members have
been added during the past year. The
Sunday-school and Epworth League
are both in fiourishing condition and
are doing much good.
In financial lines the record is also a
good one. The pastors salary was
raised $500 last year and the total
amount has been paid in full. All the
conference assessments and benevolent
collections have been raised and an ex-
cess of $3.50 is reported
A series of special revival services
was conducted by the pastor, Rev. H.
G. Christian during the closing of
summer and early fall These were
very successful in every sense of the
word and have proved OF great benefit
10 the church. Pastor and church
members are standing close together
and the outlook for another successful
year is very bright
