so successful In his treatment that both

Whether the Town Shall Close
Down on Sundays.
A mass meeting of the citizens of
the Town of Warsaw will be held to-
night at the Town Hall, as was an
nounced last week. The meeting is
called by the Mayor for the purpose of
ascertaining the sentiment of the citi-
zens toward the Sunday re-
form movement. Immediately after
the mass meeting the Town Council
will meet and take some action
upon the Sunday question in accord
ance with the sentiment of the mass
meeting.
Those behind the reform movement
think that the sale of liquor on Sun
day should be prohibited, and all places
of amusement in the town closed upon
that day, including the Casino. The
opposition claims that the sale of
liquor and the places of amuseme emit
conducted in a moderate way, as they
are now, are a benefit to the town
rather than hindrance, and the town
would die a natural death without
them.
Many Savannahians are inter-
ested because of the pleasure they de-
rive from their visits on Sunday to
the town, which, to them, is the favor
lite Thunderbolt where they can while
away their afternoon and evening
pleasantly and queneh their thirst in
a moderate manner. They will watch
with interest for the result of the meet
ing.

DAUGHTERS IN THE HOME.
Rev. Charles II. StrOng's Subject Mt
ST. Johns Last Night.


Perhaps the most interesting and in
structive sermon of his series upon
Home and Happiness, was delivered
by Rev. Chas. H. Strong last night at
st. Johns Church. His subject was
The Education of the Daughters of the
Home" and was suggested by the text,
taken from Psalms, 144, u, and First
Peter 3. 3: That our daughters may
be as the polished corners of the tenn
PIE"
There were in this most wonderful
and beautiful temple two pillars-Jach-
in and Boaz-most beautifully carved
with lily work. and they were not
placed there for supports, said Rev.
Mr.. Strong, but were symbolical of
beauty and religious worship, and that
they expressed the idea of female edu-
cation.
What is this beauty? he asked Not
the outward adornment of dress, but
rather the graces and beauties of amia-
bility and character that are associated
with the idea of womanhood. Woman
had the power by her gentle and re-
timing influence to raise man almost to
the hight of Divinity. 1t is poor beauty
hAidl dbNo IiOl cultivate the SEdEeS Oh IIe
mind and fragrance of the heart. A
meek and quiet spirit and purified
heart are the beauties that woman
should possess, she should cultivate her
mind by cOmmuning with music poe
try, art and literature.
The mothers duty is to encourage the
daughter to cultivate womanly graces
and not to set her the evil example OF a
votary of fashion. The fathers part
ic TO l. i
and to teach her what an honest and
upright man is, and give her a prac-
teal idea of life. The fathers honesty
and the mothers sweetness will grow
upon her with a wonderful luster If
the father makes a companion of his
daughter, manifested an interest in her
work and studies. she will be able to
measure men as they are, and will not
undertake to reform them after mar
r1age. She will demand that they be
honest and pure. like her father.
Church influence does a great deal,
said Mr.. Strong, but after all home is
the place in which to train the daugh-
tiers as they should be trained
What becomes of home when the
daughters loose their faith in the finer
or beautiful things of life? he asked.
Social vices and national vices come
when man loses his faith in the beau
virgins of our homes should be educated
for beauty and religious service they
should be educated in the perception of
the beautiful.
Mr.. Strong said that he had hardly
touched upon the duty of religious wor-
ship. Women are naturally religious.
and one scarcely if ever hears of the
female skeptic or infde1. The quiet
sanctified influence of a woman often

man who rarely. if ever, attended
church, who, when he first looked his
infant daughter in the face, and real

The nation looks to the fathers and
sons for its defense in time of trouble,
but the influence welded by its daugh-
ters in preserving it's honor and integ-
rity, is potential factor.

IN HONOR OF WESLEY.
MethOdists Plan to Celebrate BIZ
Centennial of His Birth,


The Monument Committee and the
Programme Committee, two of those
appointed at the recent mass meeting
of Methodists to assist in arranging for
the celebration of the bi-centenniaI of
John Wesleys birth held a joint meet
ing yesterday to complete organiza-
ton and also to discuss certain mat
ters relative to their departments of
the work.
Judge S. B. Adams was made chair
man of the Monument Committee and
Mr.. w. II. Fifer, secretary, while to
the head of the Programme Committee
Rev. DIR. A. NJ. Williams, pastor of
Trinity Church, was elected, and Mr..
N. B. F. Close was made secretary.
AS has before been stated in the
Morning News, it is the desire of the
Methodists to mark with suitable
tablet of either marble or bronze the
three places in Savannah most closely
identified with Wesley and his work
OF course the buildings that formerly
marked these spots have long since
passed away so the purpose of the
committee is to place the tablets on
the buildings that now occupy the
sites.
These are the Custom House, the
postof!tce, and a building just across
Drayton street to the rear of Christ
Church. 1t is anticipated that little
or no trouble will be encountered in
securing permission to mark the last
named but because the first two are
the property of the government pr
mission will have to be secured fro
the federal authorities to place tha
tablets or them. Senator Bacon has
already been written in regard to the
matter and has informed the commit
tee that he will look into it.
The Programme Committee had hoped
to have many of the most prominent
Methodists of the world, both of the
clergy and laity, in attendance at the
celebration in this city, but has been
disappointed in one or two cases, some
of the gentlemen invited being forced
to decline because of previous engage
ments at similar celebrations in other
places. Among those who win be I'M
able to come, are Senator Dolliver, Rev.
DR.. Buckley and Bishop Hendrix.
Bishop Gambler, however, has accept
ed the invitation to assist in the ceIe-
bration, and it is hoped and expected
that Bishop Galloway also will come,
though he has not yet been heard from
relative to the matter.
The several other committees, who
are to assist in this work, will proba-
bly, meet for organization shortly, and
when this has been attended to. will
push forward their plans for the CEN
tennial. which it is the desire of all in
terested to have the most elaborate and
noteworthy of it's kind held in honor
of the great founder of Methodism.
