CHRISTIAN CHURCH CONVENTION
HERE IN 1904
Invitation Of Savannah Church
Accepted at Macon.

Rev. A. r. Miller. pastor of the
Christian Church, returned yesterday
from the twenfy-fourth annual conven-
ton of the church at Macon, with the
news that the twenty fifth annual con-
vention will be held in Savannah on
Nov. Is, 1904. AS mentioned in the
Morning News, the Savannah delegates
to the convention were authorized to
invite the church to hold its next con.
vention in Savannah, and the fact it
came here was due to a vigorous pres
entation of local claims by Mr.. Miller.
The returning delegates report the
convention at Macon a successful and
interesting one throughout, with much
benefit derived from its deliberations.
Rev. Miller preached the convention

SEASON OF ADVENT
OPENS NEXT SUNDAY,
Four Weeks of Penitence in Prepn-
ration for Christmas.

ration for Christmas.
Next Sunday is the first of the days
of Advent. From that date until
Christmas the faithful of the Roman
Catholic and Protestant Episcopal
churches will do acts of penance and
purify themselves in preparation for
the coming of the anniversary of the
birth of Christ. Advent, meaning the
coming is a season of preparation for
Christmas, and holds the same rela-
ton to that day as does Lent to Easter.
In the Greek Church the advent COM
prises a season of forty days. The
same length of time for observing the
holy season is enjoined in the earliest
authentic notices of the setting apart
of the time In a canon of the Coun-
eli of Macon. 5S1 A. D., fasting three
times a day is enjoined from the feast
of St. Martin, Nov. II, to the nativity.
In England this forty-day fast was
observed even after the. death of the
famous Bede 1855, though Gregory the
Great (590-60D, had restricted the sea-
son to the four SUNDAYS now observed
by the Roman communion and the
Church of England.
The observance of the holy season Is
wide in its significance. 1t was COM
mon from an early period to speak of
the coming of Christ as fourfold: his
first coming in the flesh" his coming
at the hour of death to receive his
followers; his coming at the fall of
Jerusalem, and his coming at the day
of Judgment. The gospels for the four
Sundays were chosen to illustrate this
fourfold view of advent.
As Christians were called upon to
prepare for the second personal COM
ing of Christ, so they are eXhorted.
during this season, to look for a spir
itual advent of their Lord and Master.
The time of the year when the shorten
ing days are fastening toward the SOL
stice-which almost comedies with the
nativity-is thought to harmonic with
the strain of sentiment proper during
advent.
In opposition, possibly, to heather
festivals observed by ancient Romans
and Germans. which took place at the
same season. the Catholic Church or
dained that the four weeks of Advent
should be kept as a time of penitence.
This was in accordance with the words
of Christ: Repent for the kingdom
of heaven is at hand"
During these weeks, therefore, pub
lie amusements, marriage festivities,
and dancing were prohibited. Fasts
We're enjoined and sombre vestments
were USED IN relRlous ceremonies. II
was perhaps a natural thought to be-
gin the ecclesiastical year with the
days of preparations for the coming of
the Christ. This practice was intro
duced into the Western churches in
the sixth century. The season now
starts with the Sunday nearest the
feast of St. Andrew. which occurs on
Nov. 80.
The season is not nearly so rigidly
observed in this latter day as it was
in the earlier church days. 1t is mark
ed by a season of penitence among the
faithful and by a partial, If not gen.
eral, abstainance from the more prom
inent social pleasures and amusements.
Special sermons are delivered by the
rectors and clergy of the Roman Cath
Ollie and Protestant Episcopal churches.
Its original significance, preparation
for the nativity, is strictly adhered to-

sermon. He states that most enjoy
able time was had. Delegates from all
parts of Georgia attended, and showed
we'll the strength of the Christian
Church in the state.
The next convention will be looked
forward to with much interest, and it
is expected to make 1t one of the larg-
est and most successful in the history
of the denomination in Georgia. For
a time it was thought possible Savan-
nah might be Disseminated against,
owing to the claims of other cities more
centrally located, hence easier reached
by degelates. These claims were off,
set, however, and the recognition of
Savannah as a convention city may in
this case be used by public-spirited
persons to induce the holding of other
conventions here.
