lRISH-AMERICANS'
BIG TURN OUT.
Over 500 Strong They Paraded and
Spent the Day at Tybee.

Spent the Day at Tybee.
More than 500 strong. the Irish
American Friendly Society turned out
on parade yesterday morning. The
members assembled at their hall before
10 o'clock and shortly after that hour
the march to the Tybee depot was TAX
en- up. In two divisions. each headed
by a band, the parade extended over
mile and a quarter in length. Wear
ing the regulation hats. gloves and
canes, buttoniers of Irish and Ameri-
can flags with numerous interspersions
of larger flags, the society presented a
refined, bright and patriotic appear
ance. 1t was a parade uncommon TO
Savannah, and showed tittingly the
strength of the organization.
Grand Marshal Thos. Murphy and
his aides marshalled the parade with
good judgment Along the line Of
march hundreds of friends of the So
Getty and others viewed the parade.
At the depot the train was boarded
for Tybee and the trip to the island
was begun shortly before noon. At the
railroad pavilion where headquarters
We're TO be made, the fires were light
ed in the pits and bushels of bivalveS
were roasting as the train pulled up.
Without formality the members took
places at the tables and helped them
selves as the steaming oysters were
served. Upon the pavilion several Ia
dies in charge of sandwiches. distrib-
uted them to hungry ones while other
co-workers served coffee. When all had
eaten, liquid refreshments were served,
that proving the final requisite to pro-
motions of expressions of satisfaction
and entire recovery from the fatigue
of the march.
From the time of assembly at the
hall until then everybody was the
soul of wit and good humor. and the
prospects of an exceedingly pleas
ant day were promising. About that
time, however. the announcement that
one of the society had been seriously
injured by the train near the South
End threw a damper upon things, and
later when the nature of the member
injuries became known levity gave
way to solemnity. A short while later
it was decided to suspend the pro-
gramme of sports and other entertain
ment in respect to the injured one.
That was done with the exception of a
few minutes play of football, the
members being left to spend the after
noon quietly which they were prone
to do. Later in the afternoon the So
ciety was grouped upon the board
walk in front of one of the cottages
and photographed. At 6 o'clock the
home train left the island, arriving
in the city forty minutes later.
The march from the depot to the
hall was also dispensed with in defer
ence to deep feeling of respect to
the unfortunate member, the society
dispensing at the depot.
The officers of the society were much
commended for the thoughtfulness and
thoroughness of their preparations ard
their efficient management. The mem
bers who so well managed the serving
of refreshments and their aides also
came in for many compliments. The
ladies who rendered valuable assist
ance being first in all praise

MINISTER SECURED
FOR REVIVAL SERVICES.
Rev. t. II. Martin VIII Conduct
MInisteriaI Association Meetings.

Ministerial Association Meetings.
Rev. T. T. Martin of Louisville, KY,
a prominent Baptist minister who for
the last several years has devoted his
time entirely to the conduct of revival
services throughout the country. will
conduct those of the Savannah Minis
terial Association, which are to be held
in this city during the last two weeks
Of May.
Mr.. Martin was for a long time con-
nected with the ministry in Texas. He
was called to the pastorate of church
in Louisville, a position that he held
until failing health compelled him TO
seek a different climate when he chose
Leadville. Col, and remained there un-
til some three years ago. He returned
then to Louisville. but so great had
been his success in conducting revivals
that for the past three years all his
time has been devoted to this sort of
work.
The exact date of the beginning of
the meetings in Savannah has not been
settled, but they will probably be start
ed either May Is or II. This date,
though rather later than that of for
mer years. has been found to be nee
essary to prevent conflict with the
meetings of the Southern Baptist con-
Ventions.
The meetings will be held in the tab
ernacle that was bought last year for
the Crittenton meetings. 1t is hoped
TO erect this in the Park Extension,
and permission from the city to do so
will be sought within a day or so. 1t
is expected that the city will be asked
to allow the erection of the taberna-
Gle about May or 7, and if this is
granted the building win be put up and
rendered to the Southern Baptist Con-
vention for it's night meetings, and at
the conclusion of these. will be allowed
to remain until the revival services are
concluded.

"WHAT MAKES A HOME"
Explained by Rev. j. A. smith at
Epvorth Church Last Night.

EpwOrth Church Last Night.
what Makes Home" was the SUBJ
ject of Rev. ]. A. Smiths sermon last
night at Epworth Methodist Church.
The text was taken from Joshua, 24:16:
And the people answered and said,
God forbid that we should forsake the
Lord, to serve other gods"
Home is, where the heart is" said
Mr.. Smith, ''It takes more than brick,
costly carpets and pictures and ele-
CANT surroundings to make a home.
They may beautify and improve the
conditions. but do not make. the home
in the true sense and acceptability of
term. The most humble cottage. with
it's rude interior and dingy outward
appearance, may be the purest, hap
home is where the heart is. I can
gather up the boys and men in the
boarding houses and hotels of this
city, who still cherish the remembrance
of their tender raising and devoted
parents, and they will one and all talk
of the old home, the scenes of their
raising and youthful training. That is
home to them. Their heart is there"
1.-The real home is not made UP of
material things. These are all good in
their place, but the point l want to
make is that money expended on cost
ly and worldly things does not make
the home. If the walls of many of these
elaborate structures could talk what
tale of sad experience they would tell.
Our Saviour lives in a lowly home, yet
its surroundings and interior were hap
by and He often sought this home.
Why? Because it was a home in every
sense and He was happy there
Love is what makes the home" con-
tinued Mr.. Smith. Love. makes the
union of action a sweet appreciation of
Christianity that calls the husband the
wife and the child to help bear each
others burden. The house that is not
united cannot stand. United we stand.
divided we fall. The scepter of love
and authority is welded as one. Di-
vine influence is called fove: the op-
posite force. tyrannical power
Mr. Smith then told of the neglect
of men to their home duties. He pic
tured the man who leaves home in the
morning TO strive and delve for liv-
ing, leaving his wife without the ten
der affections he had pledged to her.
He might love her, yet the symbol and
appreciation was absent, and she was
not happy. He also pictured the scene
OF the mountain cabins with it's neat
interior and rude appearance, where
there was neither wealth nor luxury.
hut where happiness reigned, simply
because there was love and purity in
its every surrounding. This, he said.
is home as it should be-
Love was the basis of the sermon.
without which and in the proper spirit,
there cannot be a godly happiness in
the lives and surroundings of man. He
appealed to men not to neglect their
families; to show them that he loved
his household, and above all to do it
