He studied at the Berkeley Divinity
| School, Middletown, Conn. While at
| Yale Mr.. Strong Was a member of
! The Skull and Bones" the most ex-
| elusive of the societies of the Sons
of Eli"
The first parochial work of Mr..
| Strong was as assistant rector of
| Grace Church, Brooklyn. L. l., and
| later he came in charge of the church
as locum tenens. Later he was chosen
rector of Christ Church. Stratford,
Conn. From the latter charge he was
called to st. Johns Church, Savan-
nah, and entered upon his duties on
Ash Wednesday, March 6, 1878.
He was at once recognized as man
of marked ability and learning, and q
series of sermons delivered by him
three months after entering upon the
duties of his new parish, on the SUBJ
ject of Endless Torment" attracted
general attention and placed him in the
front rank as a preacher. These SER
mons were published in pamphlet form
and were read by thousands throughout
the land. They contained the key note
of Mr.. Strong's teachings in years to
come and he continued to preach the
doctrine of the ultimate saliva ton of all
men, through the goodness and mercy
of God, after being purified through
suffering" t@ 81
Mr.. Strong, in addition to his church
duties and the cares of large parish,
has kept abreast of the history and lit
erature of the times, and has himself
contributed to the best of the output of
the American press. His second volume,
In Paradise, or the State of the Faith
full Dead" has just passed into it's third
edition. But in the midst of his busy
| life he has not forgotten his social and
political duties. He has been an hon
| ored guest at every public entertain
ment when health and his duties per-
mitted, and sturdy advocate of such
political views as appeared to him to
be best for the countrys welfare.
His Sunday sermons, always we'll
thought out, are delivered without
notes, and are replete with the liberal
and conservative ideas that are char
acteristic of him. A dull sermon from
Mr. Strong is yet to be delivered, and
it may be said of him. what cannot be
said of all who aspire to teach the way
to God and Gods ways, that the SER
mon is looked forward to with greater
interest than readings prayers and
praises. This is not said rrevently;
it is simply a statement that will be
borne out by his congregation. 1t may
be said of the beloved rector of St
Johns Church that he is religious with
out sanctimoniousness, and sociable
and friendly without ostentation. He
is a man who is doing his duty to his
God, and tto those to whom He has
been assigned, by His grace to teach
the way to heaven. r. r. a
Mr.. Strong is married. His wife was
Miss Jennie B. Rich of New York.
They have three children-Messrs.
Pasohal N. Strong, a civil and me-
chanical engineer, now employed in the
government work on the river; Or
mond B. Strong, principal of the Pre-
paratory School, Savannah, and Charles
H. Strong, Jr., now student in the
Georgia School of Technology.

I1rousI>on's Spring opening.

Krouskoff made a big show of hats
yesterday. Krouskoff is a milliner,
pure and simple and he can show
nothing except hats and what per-
tains to a hat. He has been before the
people of Savannah so long that the
mere mention of his name means a
hat to them. He has always carried
good and stylish things. He has made
his reputation along this line. Ills
display yesterday was pretty, beauti-
full. He selected the best hats be could
get and the styles are lovely. He is
showing now 800 trimmed hats, as
many untrimnlmed and as many
ready-to-wear hats. This is quite a
stock. And the array of these things
in the store whets the desire to own
one right away. The prevailing color
this season seems to be red. Purple
is worn, too. The shape is fiat. Mill
tary turbuns. the milliners call them
They are without crowns you might
say. But men think they are mighty
pretty.
Krouskoff never displayed a pref
tier line of trimmed hats. He does
not show. one that is without abundant
attractions. And he shows many that
are, in the language of milliners,
dreams, dreams. His store was throng-
ed with people who looked and adj
mired and bought. And these hats
are going to help the looks of pretty
people amazingly and they are going
to hide the blemishes of ugly ones,
scandalously. And the people know
it. The display of trimmings and
silks and plumes and flowers was
larger than usual. Peoples, bluetts,
violets, roses, moss and foliage was
fine.
Ombre silks, Dresden silks and rib
bons were lavishly displayed. AS well
as the applique chiffon, embroidered
chiffon, laces, ornaments, rose petals,
novelties, spangles and jets. Milliners
from Jacksonville, Macon Atlanta,
Americas and all over the country are
in Krouskoff's work rooms getting out
novel hats.
The display of ready-to-wear hats
will take place Monday owing to a
lack of space to show them yester-
day.

THE RECTOR OF ST. JOHNS.
The ST. Johns Parish News. in it's
initial number, issued few days ago,
prints the following sketch of Rev.
Mr.. Strong:
Rev. Charles H. Strong, rector of
st. Johns Church from 1878 to the
present year, and, it is hoped, for the
remainder of his life. is a Louisianian
by birth, having been born in New
Orleans, where his parents had made
their home. His father was Col. Pas
chal N. Strong, a cotton factor of that
city, and his mother Miss Louisa H. ii
of Augusta, Ga. His grandfather was
the Rev. Paschal N. Strong of New
York, a pastor of the Old Dutch Re
formed Church of New York, and his
uncle, Rev. Charles H. Hall of Brook
lyn, L. l.. for whom he was named
1t may therefore be said that he in
herited his ministerial attributes, and
also a broad Christianity Christi
anity which is in keeping with the lib
eral tendency of the age; a religion
which raises man to a higher sphere,
thereby bringing him nearer his Max
err, and giving him a higher concep-
ton of Him by teaching that He is
God of love. not of hate.
Mr.. Strong was educated at Yale
College, and afterwards attended lee
lures at oxford University, England.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
Triton, Ga, March 5.-A marriage of
rather romantic interest occurred at
Sparks, in this county, early in the
week. Miss Fannie Shuman, daughter
of Mrs and Mrs. C. H. Shuman, has
been an invalid for nine years. How
ever, except for a constitutional weak
ness, which kept her confined to her
bed, she was very attractive in per-
son, highly educated and refined. A
year or so ago, through the medium
of an invalid journal in which they
were both interested, she engaged in
a correspondence with Mr.. w. H. John
son of Iowa. This continued for some
time, and through the medium of the
correspondence both were mutually at
tracted to each other, so much so that
when Mr.. Johnson decided to take a
trip South this spring for the benefit
of his health, he made Sparks his OBJ
jective point. AS soon as he met Miss
Shuman the attraction ripened into a
warmer feeling, and they were united
in marriage last Thursday, Rev. ]. C.
Flanders of the Methodist Church Off
ciating. The brides health is rapidly
improving since they married and they
propose leaving for their Northern
home within a week. 1t is a fact
worthy of note that Miss Shuman was
born, was taken i'll. for nine years and
was married on the same day of the
month.
