Tho 8ubject, "Educatonal Work," drew a largo crowd to 'Jarnoglo Hull Wednesday mornng:. Tho nature and tho amount of educatonal work whch our mlsalonarlos should (fvo tho hoathon s a practcal and mporunt queston wltb all mssonary socetes. No word wan uttered to undorostmate tho supremo mportance of proaohlng tho gospol, and gvng sprtual nstructon, but there was a unanmous sontmont and exprobson n callng for adequate secular educaton as wull. Tho followog from the address.of Rov. W. T. A. Barber of Cambrdge, England, expresses the tompor of all the speakers: "When Chrstanty sends ts amlhusodors to heathondom t s wth the am of radcally changng the character of that heathendom, of buldng up a Chrstan State. Tbe church must be shaped as an deal edton n duodecmo of tho sumptuous folo whch the naton s to bo. "What Is to be tho stylo of the school thus shown to be essental? Frst and foremost, t must gve the very best educaton possble. The teachng of secular sub- JeotB s not to be thrown n as a brbe to secure' an opportunty for addng a Bble lesson. The Chrstan school must stand so hgh aa a gver of knowledge that no secular nsttuton can afford to pont the lnger of scorn at ts equpment or Its alumn." Unted States Commssoner of Educaton n ha addross showed how theologcal and sprtual nstructon should be put flrst and hold the foremost place, but that secular educaton would delver from tho power of ancent habts and superstton. He sad: "The Beoular educaton of te msson staton flts the convert from hoatbon»m to enter tbe world' of productve ndustry and contrlnte to the mtebf* dsunt peoples who go to the.world nwrkct forht^! Buppes.' They receve n-return ther ^Qot* 01 the wordl g^a.

Tbe afternoon sesson was flled wth fve sectonal meetngs n neghborng ohnrchos, and such questons as "The Natve Church and Moral Questons," "Wdor Rotatons of Mssons to Dscovery, Geography, Commerce, Colonzaton and Dplomacy," "Vernacular Lterature," "Medcal Tranng of Natves," etc., drew large audenccs to tho several places. The dscussons wore of a practcal nature, and deeply concorn all mssonary workers. In lstenng to these and smlar dscussons the convcton was overwhelmng that our mssonares on tho feld must be loft large lberty. Those workers are wso and arc faco to faco wth the ssues. Ther wsdom Is worth more than tho theores of some newspaper correspondents In the homo land. Mssons and Oovemments. Ths subect, and tho names of the speakers, packed Carnege Hall from pt to domo on Wednesday evenng long before the tme to open the meetng. Presdent James B. Angoll of the Unvflrslty of Mchgan n makng the frst address was heard wth enthusasm as ho dscussed, "Some Present Problems n Relaton of Mssons to Governments." The mssonares have the same rghts, no more and no less, as all other resdents accorded by treaty agreements. And governments must protect them just as they protect all others. The speaker ad^qcated, Jf necessary, makng a demonstraton before, ponstantnople to brng the Sultan to hs senses. Ths fentlment was applauded. The straned relatons at tbe tme between ths government and the Ottoman Empre made Dr. Angell's spedch almost sensatonal, and the subject of New York edtorals the followng day. Tho other speeches of the evenng by Maurce Phllps of Inda and Bshop Rldloy of Caledona, B. C., were of a popular sort, as they recounted tho trumphs of the gospo tlrough ther hands and under ther own eyes. Woman's Work In Foregn Mssons. Women had been holdng sectonal meetngs and takng part n other mootlngs almost every dav, but Thursday, wth tho excepton of tho mornng mootng n Carne^e,Hall, was devoted to tho dscusson of woman's work. The meetngs of tho day under ther supervson wore numerous, Interestng, always nstructve and enthusastc, and sometmes spectacular and pleasng. Ths was especally so n the afternpon meetng wben Mrs. A. J. Gordon of Boston ntroduced the mssonares^ addng an Interestng Ilt of bography as eaoh'one arose to be ntroduced. The enthusasm became almost uncontrollable. Such veteran workers as Dr. Sarah Pearaon Eddy of Turkey. Mrs. J. Hudson Taylor, of ;tho Chna Inland Maon, Mrs. Jenkns of Inda, Mrs. J. C 1 Hepburn lof Japan, Mrs. Wm. Ashmoro of Chna and Mrs. Guck of Formosa were 7oudly applauded as they were ntroduced. The nterest and enthusasm of the day culmnated n the" cranng sesson n Carnb/e Hall. Mrs. J. T.. Gracey of Rocheer, N. Y., presded. All rogretted the absence of Mrs. Isabella Brd Bshop, ^a cultured and weaubychh^ln ^^an'b now ^Telng n MH^'pe^ ^ wn. ^ Chrstendom bows the adm^ knee, llmtfreug^^s^^ll^ her^l^ou,:^ Utk.

There are polygamy and polyandry, wth ther nfnte degradaton, and the enthonement and defcaton of vce, many of tbe detes of Inda beng tho ncarnatons of unthnkablu wckedness. There are unbrld!^ mmoraltes and corruptons, and no. publc opnon to condomn them or to sustan men n dong rght. Infantcde s openly practced. There s no truth and no trust between man and man, and no man trusts any woman. Every system of medcno jn tbe East Is alled wth wtchcraft, sorcery and demonolatry. Immoralty prevals unvorsally Some of the natves are gven up to unmentonable nfames, and nearly always the prests and monks are n advance of t^e people n mmoral practces. "^t us steadly bear In mnd the fact that, though durng ths century nearly 4,ro0,000 persons won by mlmlonary effort have lx>on baptzed nto the Chrstan Church,there are now mora than 100,000,000 more heathen and Moslems n the world than when the century began. We must face the truth." --.Btu Interestng speeches were made by Mrs. Duncan MoLhren of Ednburgh and Mss IsalMla Thobum of Inda, but tho speech and song of Mss Llavat Sngh, a young Hndu woman now teachng Englsh^ n Lut^now College, Inda, wll never be forgotten by thoto wbo werw pr(>«oa>- The closng address by Mrs. W. A. Montgomery, I^hester, N. Y., of tho W. F. M. S. of the BapUst denomnaton, was possbly the brghtest Md most captvatng of any speech delvered durng the entre Conference. She spoke on "Iho Outlook In Woman's Foregn Mssonary Work." The thought was t^^ found, the dcton elegant and the deve^ was gr«m Itself. Sho made an unanswerable defense of the organzed work among women. "Thesurost proof of the vtalty of mssons was to be found u tho crtcsm t provoked. All men unte to prase the dead," sad she, "and we may solam ourselves when our good Is evl spokon of, for wo may assuro ourselves that what we are dong Is beng felt. Ibo fragrance of Mary's box of alabaster ontment wll always be an aggayr tlon to some, who would have had Mary sell the ontment and gve tbe money to the poor. The mssonary boards sometmes say, 'You ara robbng Peter'to pay Paul' or should I say Paulna? but we all know that tbe women who gve most largely to mssons are the very ones who ara most lheml n the support of the Churob.

2 baptst a»d RKrBcrroB, may 24, 9od atantal agreement, anmated by a common purpose, and workink together n cordal am fraternal relatons, free fwm al rvalrea and dasenaons and anmostes, gve to ths subject a recognlred Importance and an nevtable promnence In every mssonary conference. "The varous conferences have givm much attenton to the subject. All the spealera have not been n exact accord as to the condton of thngs abroad, owng undoubtedly to the dfferentfeldsof..jworvaton, nor In perfect agreement as to the detal of any plan of co-operaton; but In one thng there has been absolute unanmty of th(^ught and sentment, vz., that n ths holy, sublme, and dvnely apponted worlt of preachng the Gospel of the kngdom to heathen natons there ought to be, there can be, there nmstbe, among the followers of Chrst the most cordal understandng, a generous sympathy and good wll, confdence la the sncerty of each other's motves, regard f.»r each other's conscentous convctons, and a never-falng courtesy and respect. It Is beleved by many that the sprt of comty among Chrstan churches s fndng freer expresson and fuller exercse at the present tme than ever bv^fjre. The recent remarkable meetng of the representatves of dfferent mssonary boards to consder the sprtual need of those sland populatons, numberng 12,000,000, who In the provdence of Gotl have been thrust upon the care of Chrstan Amerca, and n the most amcable and fraternal manner to dvde the responsblty of meetng tho«needs and supplyng the great desttuton all these thngs are but ndcatons that the dscples of Chrst are comng more and more to emphasze the essentals of savng fath, to recognze the broad bass of Chrstan unon and co-operaton that exsts amd some dfferences of belef and practce, and to feel that the frst great duly of the churches of Chrst s to make known as quckly as pocsble the transcendent truth of God's pardonng love to every naton and people. Mssonary comty s, n ts essence, the sprt of Chrst manfestng tself In al the forms and methods and actvtes of foregn evangelzaton, and In all the Intercourse and relatons of those who are seekng to prosecute It. It Is the Illustraton of that sprt whch evangelzaton s professedly seekng to realze n all human socety. "It does not necesstate or contemplate any organc unon of churches under one partcular form of government or one prescrbed rtual of worshp. As another has recently and wsely sad, 'organc unty, on lnes accepted by any one of the exstng Chrstan bodes,' s clearly for the present out of reach. No plan of unon has been or can be suggested whch wll not nvolve the surrender on the part of some of truth whch they hold vtal. "There Is tme only to suggest a few practcal applcatons and proper lmtatons to the sprt of maalonary comty: " (1.) All branches of the same general church dvson, and all denomnatons n whch a anon could be efltected wthout the surrender of any fath or practce that s held to be vtal, ought to unte ther work when prosecuted on the mme mssonfeld. (2 ) Where a feld has already been taken poaaeaslon of by one mssonary body, that body should have the exclusve rght to cultvate!t, no matter how acceceble and attractve the feld or how rch the promse of the harvest There should be no Interference and no competton. The clams of the orgnal aetuers should be carefully acknowledged. Mladcnary expanson does not gve the rght to enter apon terrtory that s already pre-empted. "(3 ) In enterng upon a new terrtory there should be an amcable dvson of the feld, a care* ful and frendly drawng of the boundary lnes, not far the sake of restrctng mssonary actvty, bat for the sake of extendng the preachng of the Gospel, of scatterng more wdely the seed of the kdgdknn, and of brngng more speedly under Orlstlan cultvaton the barren wastes of the heathed word. Otherwse some may be fed and othen persh wth hangn^ some may be enrched wth the rces both of the wsdom and of the knowledge of God, wuhe othen reman n adstnwng povertjr ofal^ qprltnal Ignonuce. But Ifao be that aor sodetj, by reaaoo of lmted resources or the preasng demands of Its other felds, fnds Itself, or Is found, unable to culuvate the new feld the responalblllty for whch It has assumed, t may ask for ad or surrender tar clam. Mlssonay comty most not long be auowed to hnder the carryng of bread to the starvng or water to those who are dyng of splrtoa thrst. Government gants of lands are condtoned upon ther beng occuped and Improved. Mssonary ttles are Invaldated by contnued neglect. (4) Among mssonares of dfferent socetes occupyng the same or a(!uacent felds the common love for Chrst and the supreme regard for the comng of Hs kngdom whch that love engenders wll prompt to frequent conferences. In whch the Interests of the common work shall be frankly and fully consdered, and all matters whch mght lead to frcton, and about whch there Is any possblty of msunderstandng, shall be examned In the sprt of prayer and In the holy lght of Chrst's radant presence." Self-support of Msson Churches was the subject under consderaton Frday mornng at Carnege Hall. Ths sentment Is growng upon all the foregn felds, and our mssonares are Inauguratng self-support as far and as fast as practcable. But the churches at home cannot force t too fast wthout grent damage to the general work. Ths lepresents the tendency of al the dscussons. The evenng meetng was denomlnatetl, ''The Busness Men's Meetng." It was entrely In the hands of laymen. The platform of nearly 400 seats was largely occuped by college presdents, professors, bankers, merchants, ralroad magnates and busness men generally. It was a sgnfcant meetng. Speeches of genune power were made by S. B. Capen of Boston, J. H. Converse of Baltmore, D. O. Barkley of Ireland and others. In closng Pres. dent James B. Angell nvted pastors to urge and keep the busness men up to ther duty n gvng, and sad f the churches and men of means would furnsh the money, the colleges would Immedately doable the supply of mssonares. Ann Arbor, Mch. A CHURCH AT WORK. lv BBV. J. WIIITCOMB BRODOHEB. III.-The Men's League. There s probably no more Important work beng done by the Frst Baptst Church of Chattanooga than Its speclp work for men. The Men's League has lately been re-organzed and the scope of Its work enlarged. The object of the League, as defned In ts Consttuton and By-Laws, s ''to exemplfy the brotherhood of man' by seekng to 'do good to al men; '«to promote the sprtual, moral, socal and ntellectual condton of ts members; to set before the world an example of manly Chrstan lvng; to cheerfully undertake every Chrstan duty, and strve by unted, aggressve efforts to wn souls to Chrst; to seek by prayer and sympathy to walk together n brotherly love and help bear the burdens of one another." The motto Is, "As we have therefore opportunty, let us do good unto all men." (Gal. vl 10.) Any man of good moral character over sxteen years of age s elgble to membershp. The extent of the work undertaken can best be seen by the number and names of the commttees apponted. ~ Executve Commttee has general supervson of the work of the I^eague and s composed of the ofllcera, the pastor, and the charmen of the dfferent commttees. The Membershp Commttee seeks to Increase the membershp of the League, looks after absentees and any that seem Indffrent to the clams of both the lcague and the darch. The Socal Commttee endeavors to promote the socal nterests of the men by provdldg for the mutual acquantance of the members and arrangng for oocadona socals. Ths commttee, wth the ad ofthe Woman's Assccaton, gave a banquet to men that proved one of the most dellghtfkl and ' succeflsful occasons that has ever been gven n oar dty.. The Devotonal Commttee condpcta a prayecmeeung for men on^ ead Moo^ nght. Atopc and a leader l wgned far each meetlng and pedal mnalc s provded by the Hade Oommlttee. These meetngs are largely attended and the development ofthe men sprtually Is very notceable. The Personal Work Commttee endeavors to Interest every man In the League In wjnng souls for Chrst y It organaes and conducts tranng classes for p ^ n a l work among naen. ThemembeB agree to pray^ily for the qpteadof Chrst's kngdom among mm and to make an earnest effort each week to brng at least one man wthn the hearng of the Gosper of Jesus Chrst. The Employment Commttee seeks to ad In every possble way those who need employment. The Commttee on Sunday-school work sees that every man who enters the church has a sfeclal Invtaton to Jon one of the youug men's classes n the Bble School. Probably the most mportant work ofthe League, n some respects. Is that conducted by. the Strangers' Commttee. The members of ths commttee nterest themselves In every man who comes to the cty as a stranger. They vst the hotels of our cty every Saturday nght and leave a neatly prnted Invtaton for each guest, cordally Invtng them to attend the servces of the church. About 150 uf these Invtatons are dstrbuted each week. A number of strangers have responded, and It s l» lleved that a great deal of good wll l>e accomplshed In ths way. Wth a vew to enlargng ths work, the followng nvtaton has been Issued by the commtlec on strangers, whch they hope to have prnted n the newspapers all over the country: "STllASOEKS TAKKN IN." "The Men's League of the Frst Baptst Church, corner Georga avenue and 0.k street, Chattanooga, Tenn., cordally nvtes al young men who come to Chattanooga ether to study, engage n busness or take up a professonal lfe, to attend the meetngs, whch are held In the parlor of the church every Monday nght at 7;30 o'dock. If the reader wll send to the charman of the strangers' commttee, Mr. Frank G. Merram, Chestnut street, Chattanooga, hs own name, or the name and address of any mah he knows to be In the cty and wthout a church homp, w>ne of the mcnbcra of the League wll be glad to call and place themselves at hs servce. Pastors of churches, secretares of the Y. M. C. A., and Young People's Socetes, outsde of the cty, are urged to notfy thn commttee whenever they know of any young man comng to Chattanooga to whom the League would be of servce." The Laague Intends to make Its nfluence felt not only n the cty, but f possble throughout the entre South n Its efforts to reach and help men. Chattanooga, Tenn. SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION.

Barton of Arkansas spoke to these reports: tev. T. B. Ray of Tennessee made amoton that a further advance In contrbutons of 25 per cent, be made. Ths was amended by makng the amount to he contrbuted <200,000. Hon. Joshua Leverng of Maryland spoke strongly favorng an advanced move. Dr. T. T.

That we reaffrm our trucdess hostlty to the lquor traffc n all ts forms. 2. That we regard It as one of the most appallng evls that ever cursed manknd, as well as one of the greatest barrers to successful msson work In both our Home and Foregn FIdds. 3. That In the nullfcaton of the law abolshng the army canteen, whch law was passed by the last Congress n response to an Irresstble demand of the Amercan people, a great wrong was perpetrated aganst Chrstanty, good morals and ctzenshp. 4. That the establshment of the Amercan saloon n addton to the army canteen In our new possessons s a dreful blot upon our cvlzaton and our professon that oars s a Chrstan naton. Presdent Schorman hmself acknowledged ths fact In ths fact These developments In the lquor traffc should mpress our hearts anew wth our grave responsblty as Chrstan ctzens and the tme has arrved when It becomes the duty of every mnster of the gospd to take an open stand aganst ths great obstacle to the gospd of our Redeemer's Kngdom, and to algn hmsdf wth every agency In the church for Its object annhlated. In.bref, we favor prohbton for the naton and State abstnence for the Indvdual, and we beleve that no Chrstan ctzen should ever cast a ballot for any man, measure or platform that Is opposed to the complde annhlaton of the lquor traflc. The Commttee on Tme and Place of next meetng reported through Its charman. Rev. T. M. Callaway of Alabama, that the next sesson be held at Ashevlle, N.

Thus was brought to a glorous termnus one ofthe greatest. If not the greatest, sessons ofthe Southern Baptst Conventon. TEXAS LETTER. The current year Is makng a hstory wthout precedent. Nature seems to be astrred, and commoton prevals generally. The rans and floods have been more Incessant, unversal and destructve than snce we came to the State, nearly 25 years ago. The loss of property of varous knds cannot be computed. The loss of human lfe has been comparatvely small. The many dfferent contagons of sckness have prevaled contnuously, and most al over the State. The schools have made the poorest record posbbly In the hstory of the State, owng to the many contagous dseases nterferng. The mortalty from the great amount of sckness, however, has been the least, far less than mght be expected The publc schools are closng early ths season. Matters of a denomnatonal character are movng along very well. The contrbutons to the Home and Foregn Msson fund are largely In excess of last year and presumably of any prevous year. More successful revvals are beng reported than for a long whle. There seems to be a general settlng down of thought and sentment and a sprt of peace and prayer for sprtual thngs extendng. A few new men are comng nto the State, but so far the several vacant pastorates are beng flll^ by home preachers. The young men from the Semnary are takng several of the vacant pastorates. Uur denomnatlouhl scluula aru gettng^ through the present term splenddly. But lttle embarrassment has occurred from sckness. We beleve all have been well patronzed and wll close the current year wth fne results and brght prospects. The Educatonal Commsson s vgorously pushng the great work, and a sympathy and co-operaton s beng manfested. Texas Bptsts may be expected among the advance hosts n crownng the ciomng century wth achevements to the Gol of ages and betterment of the human famly. From Indcatons,. there wll evdently be a "Preachers' I^fe Assocaton" organzed n the Stae. The nterest manfested In such an nsttuton Is growng. Names are already bdng sent In! to Rev. K. A. Baten, the Secretary of the State Conventon, as an ntal organzaton, to be perfected at the next meetng of the State Conventon; Some protecton to the famles of dec(»aed, mlnls-^ ters Is surely neetlcd. ', ^'' ' At the recent meetng of the State Board, the n-. vltatlon for the next sesson ofthe State Conventon, to be held at San Antono was accepted, and the, Conventon wll therefore meet n the hstorc clty^ of the "Alamo" next November. The meetng wll be upon the pay plan. «' ' J' Agan we wsh to speak commehdably of your artcles on Mormonlsm. 'Ts a matter of astonsh-" ment to ourself to Iwm of the true Inwardness of J the desperate system. The tremendous organlza- ' tlon and fearful object In vew s alarmng. It's power and progress cannot be put down by materal force. The people must be educated to a knowledge ol the system. The people of the, country, the^ Interor settlemoqts, must be fur.l9hed wth such, matter as wll thoroughly enlghten and expose the monstrous evl. We don't beleve the preach^ ers and emssares of Mormonlsm should be countenanced or entertaned In publc or n prvate homas.

3 IMPRESSIONS Ot^ THE CONVENTION. BEV. T. B. RAY. There four polnta In whch the recent Conventon WM grest. 1. Great In the upeecheb. lurely have we ever heard luch a auccestlon of magnflcent addreeecs. 2. Great n tta mlmlonary nprlt. The achlevementa of laat year sumuiated our fath, and the advance decded upon dd not grow out of the enthusam of an Intense moment, but out of an ncreased fath In God. 8. Great n U fellowshp. It was evdent that the man who desred to uncover old contentons was consdered to be an anachronsm. Ths was a Conventon, not of dscord, but of co-operaton. 4. Great n ts forward look. The launchng of the centennal movement, whch has for ts oljectve the enlstng of every Baptst n the Bouth In our enterprses, Is perhaps the most sgnocant movement the Conventon has underuken In.rears. The magntude of ths Conventon wll be known only In after tmes. Nashvlle, Tenn. BEV. HABTIN BALL. My mpresson Is that tbe Conventon at Hot Sprngs was tbe greatest we ever had. It was great because of the excellent condton our Boards were able to report. All out of debt and a balance on hand to begn the new jear. That stale of thngs mpreeaes one that all our work s conducted on busness prncple*, and no one need fdar to trust our brethren n whose hands we place ths work. Another thng that mpressed me was the hgh Older of the speeches made. It seemed that each brother who spoke tred to surpass the other In sayng thngk for the glory of God. The magnflcent sprtual power felt everywhere Impressed me that God was present and Hs blesbngs were restng on Hs servants. Hopefuluess for the future abounded In every speech and n the prvate conversatons as well. '* All the word for Chrst" was besrd everywhere. I was hnpressed wth the enlarged trust n God whch seemed to fll every soul. These thngs made ths Conventon truly great f not the greatest Conventon I ever attended. Pars, Tenn. BEV. 9. H. I'RICB. Hy mpressons of the Conventon were pleasant, satsfactory, enlghtenng and nsprng. I carred home wth me convctons, stronger than ever, that God Is wth us and magnflee our contrbutons and multples our eltorta. A 25 per cent, ncrease n contrbutons, a 60 per cent, ncrease n resulu, wth an Incalculable ncrease n fath, hope, love, courage and conscousness of our Father's approval, ahould make us launch out nto deeper water n all departments of the Lord's work. I was mpressed wth tbe unanmty of convctons and feelngs and the magnanmous submsson to tbe wll and Judgment of the majorty when dflerencea dd occur. Negatve votes were beard on some measures, but all were unanmous In submsson, co-operaton and acton. There was no sgn or ndcaton of bttemeea to be seen any where. It was not fmce of habt that we all came home sayng that It was tbe best Conventon n cur hhtory. In tbe very nature of thlnga we should expect every succeedng Conventon to be better than the last one. If we cannot grow we ought to go out of busness. Bprtuallty and deep devoton were manfestly strong and powerful throughout It was a mghty wave on whch we shall rde Into the aoth century. Another thng that atmck me was the great number of pastora wbogratefuuy and joyflally aad that ther churches gave them the money,and told them to go to Hot Sprngs. Among that number I was the most grateftal, for my chnrchea dd that for me. The churches arahegdbngto feel deeper nterest n Conventon work, and to seethe value of havng ther pastors at. tend. I am tempted to wrte my predctons of the next Conventon, but that la not n order Just now. Lewlaburg, Tenn. BBV. A. J. no/r, D.D. It waa In many reapects a great Conventon. 1.

Tba maatarftal pmoh of Dr, KafNt on our wok of oo^pantkn at BAFTIST AlfID RETLBOTOB, MAY 24,1900 should go to record as one of the greatest and grandest n the hstory of Southern Baptata. 4 It was a Conventon of great apeeches. McDonald, Carroll, Felx, Kerfoot and Hatcher all made great speeches. The Introdnctoy aermon waa full of Chrst, and coneequently a sermon of unusual power. Tbe address of welcome waa nnlqua, gvug the pecular vews of Pastor Moody wth dlcotness and vgor. 5. It was a mssonary Convotlon. The bref 8pe<ches of the mselonarea were of a hgh character. Smth, Smmons and Perce an great mlaalonares. Morrs captured tbe Conventon bodly. Never n so bref a tme In tbe twenty-lve years of my attendance on the Qonventon has there been made a more captvatng speech. 0. The convenence of the arrangementa waa almost perfect. The ball, the hotel, the commttee rooms, the boanllng houses, the batha, the fmous hot sprngs, all were superb. And these an only a few of the many ponts of excellence concernng ths Conventon. Nashvlle, Tenn. BKV. QKO. A. LOFTON, D D. The Hot Sprngs Conventon Is perhaps the most memorable sesson of tbe Southern Baptsto. It was an uplfc n hgh purpose and Inspraton for two reasons. Frst, the great work accomplshed In the past year n mseons, and second, because of the outlook of the 20th century, whch broadened tbe vson and Invted to grander thngs. We had reached tbe hgh water mark of our hstory; and tbe great objects of the body, n vew of the fast blessngs of God and tbe possbltes and promses of the future, brought on tbe hgh tde of enthusasm whch projected us upon a stll hgher wave and water mark for tbe yean to come. It was a revval of conventon grace a great protracted meetng-for four days, wth only an ncreasng ntensty of power to the end. Past dvsons or alenatons were forgotten, and never^ In the hstory of the Conventon dd Southern Baptsts seem so nearly one n purpose and fraternty. Havng advanced 23 per cent, n msson work durng the past year, t was determned to advance 25 per cent, mote; and tbe great brotherhood advanced 100 per cent, n tbe sprt of love and co-operaton. Never such speeches, never such harmony, never such progress. For once Baptst ndependency melted nto Baptst collectvty wthout tbe compromse of ether upon tbe word-wde arena of benevolent, evangelaatlon and educaton; and we have only to grow n tha drecton to capture tbe natons for Chrst. Tbe 1U41 ({uestlon was not mentoned except prvately and kndly to your humble servant; and whle he took occason to enlghten tbe brethren on that subject, be tred to exemplfy tbe true Baptst sprt and genus whch foster Baptlat fraternty n spte of Baptst dfferences whch are many f not snhbtantal. Ths Conventon made me all tbe more thankful that the Bble bad made me a Baptst. Hot Sprngs hospulty and unqueness were falry captvatng and overwhelmng; and whle nobody can exceed Moody and hs people for orthodoxy, they cannot be surpassed In the splendd management of tl:e Conventon's entertanment. Many wanted the body to go to Hot Sprngs forever; and but for tbe denomnatonal necesetes of other places, Hot Sprngs hsd been our future Mecca. The reputaton of the place has been completely revetaed. To menton names n the work and advancement of the Conventon la tbe numercal and qualtatve mpossblty of Justce and honor where all who dd anythng dd so well, and when, for once, one could not help dong well f he dd anythng at all. The Boards and Secretares and the great workera of the Conventon wen all on bp and passed wthout crtcsm or frcton; and wth them, upon the hgh tde of enthusasm and hope, we al passed wth eyes doted to any and everythng except the glorous outlook of the 20h century. Nashvlle, Tenn. REV. J. H.ANDBBBON. 1. I waa mpreaaed from the fltat wth Its devotonal sprt. Many of ta members bad prayed fervently for the prcaence and power of the Sprt, and they took along wth them that Influenoe under whch they bad been brought Never waa I more mpreaaed wth the unfyng and cementng power of rdglon. Nothng can take Ita plaoe among Baptata.! Presdent Ndrtten atmok the kefv-note when be apoke of tbe need of dvne guldan 3a throoghont the nealon. Ha own ChratUke sprt showed that be meant what be sad., 2. I waa alao greatly Impreawd by the anataned Intereat. What elae than the Bplrft of Chrat and the Klng'a bndneaa conld have kept tbe people fogetber nne or ten hours day by dayt Many fogot all abont algbt-aamng and eame away wthout Ttoltlng objeeta of btowt 10 and abont the dty. 8. I waa alao mpresaed wth tbe Conventlon'a unty n dveralty. I note eepeolally tbe debate and vote on the appontment of a Commttee of Co-operaton, Ita secretary to be apponted by tbe three Boarda of the Conventon. Argument waa certanly not all on one ade. Many of us voted wth all our mgbt aganst t, belevng that we already have enough machnery, and aecnurea, and expenaea, and that anythng addtonal would mpose burdena grlevoua to be borne, and crpple Interest upon tbe part of tbe great source of aupply, the churohea and paatora. But the majorty votng In favor of the new meaaure, then teemed to be tbe most cbeeful acqolescenoe upon the part of the mnorty. To say the leaat, tme wll test the wsdom or unwsdom of the meaaure. 4. I waa also greatly mpreaaed wth tbe aplrt of democracy manfest. Tme waa when a prvleged few seemed to have a monopoly of rght to tbe floor, though ther speechm mght be dry aa snuff. But not so n ths meetng. Tbe plan mountaneer, f be bad sometblug to say. waa llatened to wth aa much nterest as f tbe speaker bad been clothed In red Upe. Once or twce the wrter of these llnee bad the audacty to start to rse, belevng that he had aomethng to say. but some one would Invarably get In ahead of hm. And yet the Conventon got through all rght. But t was pleasant for hm to feel that he waa a part c f the Conventon, and that no one had a patent rght to speak louder, or ofcener, or longer than be. 6 I waa greatly mpreaaed from the flrat and throughout wth tbe masonary aplrt. It throbbed n the hearu of all tbe messengen. It rose to the hghest ptch of enthusasm when the vote waa taken and carred unanmously to approprate 9200,000 to foregn msson work alone. For a tme the buslneaa feature of the Conventon was broken up by a hearty Baptst hand shakng, n whch the prealdent engaged as heartly as any other one. It remnded me of what I fanced Pentecoat waa. The Sprt of glory and of God was present n great power. Just aa he waa present wth that other Baptst aaaembly on Pentecoat. The fuflmen of Isaah's prophecy ruabed to my mnd: "Arse and shne for thy lght la come, and tbe glory of the Lord s rsen upon thee." "Then abalt thou see and flow together, and thne heart aball fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Oentllea shall come unto thee." All of us felt that a new. era had dawned upon Southern Baptsts and UutUm* had flly come for us to "break forth upon tbe rght hand and upon tbe left."

Luke X Tbe man who Is frst to see wrongs should be 11rat n the attempt to correct them. It Is not only worthless but unworthy to pretend an Interest that leads to questons for Infomatlon and then not try to do the thngs whch we know. Ths dshonest queston of the lawyer furnshed the occason for an mpressve leeson from tbe Lord. 1. A good neghbor s thoughtful. Belflshness s one of the meanet sns. When we have no one In our thnkng for good there s not lkely to be any good done to auy one by us. Thoughts about others wll broaden our crcle of frends as well as our crcle of usefulness. 2. A good neghbor s sympathetc. He not only thnks of us, but bs heart goes out to us In sympathy. Sympathy that wshea us well In all the good and wshes Ibr us relef when we are In need. The sympathetc soul puts Itself In the very plaoe of the one. for whom It sympathzes. 3. A good neghbor s helpful. A man may lve the next door to you and never do one thng of help to you. In Had, he may bnder yon all the tme. The person we can help Is our neghbor. Not only tbe person who needs, but the person we can help. If out thoughts and sympathlee have been gven and we can do no more, oar ofterng Is worthy. 4. A good negbbor Is solctous. He not only does what he can fbr as, but be Intercedes for us as well. He gves bs ad and solcts the attenton ofotbersfdrus. Tbe good Bamatan not only dd all he could, bat eoagbt tbe attenton of otbes toward tbe needy man whom be fonnd by tbe roadrde.

Besdes the Ircturos delvered by us on **Some Threatenng loms," Includng Materalsm, Alcoholsm, Mormonsm and Romansm, lectures wore delvered by Dr. J. B. Moody on 'Dstngushng Doctrnes of Baptsts," Dr. W. D. Powell on " Mssons," Rev. Ocar Haywood on "SermoQ Dellv. ery^' and Dr. 'Heagle on Solomon's Temple." lcavlng out ours, all of these lectures were very tne. As we have prevously announced, those of Dr. Moo<ly wll be publshed In the Batht and Rkkkectou. We shall begn ther publcaton n a week or two. We had tho prvlege of attendng some of Dr. lleagle's classes and hearng hm Iccture on teve* latlon and upon the Intermedate State and the Second Comng of Ohrlst. These lectures were <>x. ceedlngly Instructve. Dr. Heagle Is one of the profaundest theologans In the South. We were glad to learn that the Unversty has had a fne sesson under the able presdency of Dr. Q. M. Savage. The attejtdance has been the largest It has ever had. The prospects for next year are very flatterng. There Is only one thng the Unversty lacks, and that Is money. Some one sad that a school needs four b's-brlcks, brans, boys and boodle. It has the brcks. Wth the old college buldng, wth the new Powell Chapel, wth Adams Hall for the boys and Lovelace Hall for the grls, It Is splenddly equpped In ths drecton. It has also the brans. Its faculty wll compare favorably wth that of any smlar nsttuton In the South. And It has the boys not a plenty of them, but a large number of them, and besdes has also a good many grls. But It lacks the boodle. It has some endowment, but It needs mora In order to perform eflltolently the work whch Ilea before It, and make fol use of the opportuntes whch God has gven to It. It onght to receve at least' 1100,000 endowment In' the next fow years. We suggest that a movement be started at once to seoara that amount, the Ame^ lean Baptst Educaton Socety, we presume, woald gve part of It, but not all. The bulk of It must oome flrom the Baptlsta of Mddle and Weet Tte. neaaee. They can gve It. Wll they do aot It WM qute a plearare whle In Jackaon to be n thehobpltaue home of Prof. H. O. Irhy.

It orystatfes Into thoughts, character, acton, lfe. Ths beng so, what care should we exercse In what we read and what our chldren read. Too often we read a book because t Is popular, regardere of tho destructve effecto upon our moml and relgous nature. And worse stll, we allow the young n the famly to mbbe the moral msama from books whch gld vce, brbe pety, present false standards of success, teach wordlmess, and gve false vews nf the meanng of lfe. As well expect anyone to read such lterature and have a healthy relgous nature as to expect anyone to drnk mpure water or breathe Impure ar and be healthy. Wo wouk not condemn all other lterature, but wo would plead for moro relgous readng. If relgon s anythng t s everythng. Why then spend the bulk of our tme and energy on other readng and neglect the most Important? If we want to lve a deeper relgous lfe, let us do more relgous readng. The taste may have to be cul. tlvated at frst, lut It s soon found that books of ths knd are aa nterestng, nstructve, more wholesome, and far more benefcal than the others. After readng such a book one feels that he s stronger, that he has a now vew of thngs, that ho hat) receved somethng of promnent value. We thnk no one can do a better deed than to put good, relgous lterature n the home and n the communty. Drve out the bad wth the goo<l. Cultvate a taste for tho goo<l and there wll be no desre for the bad., L^ us spend less tme'tryng to keep up wth the latest books and more tme on books and lterature whch wll strengthen our relgous nature. How can we expect to be relgous when we abstan from a relgous det? And how can we ex>ect not to be worldly when we lve on a worldly det? As a man, a woman, a chld reads, so are they.

A very loug tme Hgo snowdrops and otocuaee grew only In one beautful garden; and all the crocuacs and all the snowdrops In all the world are sprung from those frst ancestors. In the earlest days, nstead of droopng ther heads, the snowdrops grew straght up. Indeed, they were pert lttle flowers, and excessvely proud of the delcate green markngs that releved ther whteness. Crocuses, too, n those days were not as now. They were smaller, and pure whte, wthout a touch of color. Even the lttle stamens and pstls were all whte. One mornng, n the wonderful garden, where would t>e many, many flowers later la the year, crocuses and snowdrops were bloomng together. "You poor thngs! *' sad a tal lttle snowdrop, swayng back and forth on her slender stem above the crocuses. "How cold you look! It Is you should be named fbr the snow Instead of I. It really makes me shver to look at you, you are so whte! Now I, you see, have beautful green embrodery on my frock, green as the grass and trees wll be by and by. Every one who sees me cres: 'Oh, sprng s comng! Here Is a snowdrop I But you I don't wonder they hardly look at you." >m sure we all have green thngs growng up around us," ventured one newly opened crocus, bolder than the test. "Pooh! Thoseareonly leaves. Every cne ha* leaves," sad snowdrop, tossng her head. " Grass-blades ate leaves, too," mu^ muted the crocuses. Yet they could not forget the words of the snowdrop; and they became very sorrowful, for they wanted vetyone to love them. And nut mornng, whea the angel of the flowers came, there was a froen tear In each lttle pale cup. It was very cold that mornng, but the crocuses dd not mnd the cold. "Why^ do you weep, chldren?" asked the flower angel. *fecause suowdrow has been tellng us we don't belong to sprng, but are only bt of wnter that's left over, d people wll be glad when we are jon^",1 " ^"Bobwdtop to very vftln of her green markngs," sad the angel. "But be ptlant, oblldten, and we shall see." It was auii dark, for It was very arly. Just a flunt (low showed In the Mut, where the morolng star shone brghtly; and below the star, as If,«aI^[ fh>m It lke a pal*, golden, o*d< n, hang, the alendet ormcent of the old aoon.

"Great kng," she ended. "They ate very sad--tb* poor, wblta crocusek. I would some new gft mght be grant* ed to cheer them." "And because tb«y ate sad," asked the kng, "do they droop and flade, refusng to lve the lfs I have ordaned?" "Th«ylrt ther heads qute bravely," sad the angel, "and awat your comng. Only the ftoun tear lleeat the heart of each." "It U well," sad the kng. "Go southward now, for the peach>trees bloom and the magnola begns to bud. They need your care." The angel bowed, and went. Then sunrse came to the great garden. In the east tbe sky grew brghter. Now It was soft rose, blendng to gold toward the horlson. In tbe mdst of the rose glow stll hung the moon and planet, tnged wth fantest golden green. Southward volet clouds were turnng gold and saflton at ther edges. As the color grew n the sky, what was happenng to tbe sad lttle crocuses? They were surely growng Uller and mote exquste n shape; and was It a rellecton from tbe volet clouds that tnted some of them? fut t stayed when tbe clouds burst Into flane.. Then the sunbeams came; and, as they touched each cup-shaped flower, they drooped Jewels of gold wthn. Even those that bad stayed whte receved the Jewels, and those that bad caught tbe tnge of volet deepened; whle one whole famly, where the sunbeams came last and stayed tbe longest, turned to gold all over. What a show tb«y made tbe gold and the volet, and tbe whte streaked wth volet, and tbe pare whte, wth gold at tbe heart of them I And how they shouted and sang! "The sunbeams, tbe sunbeams, are pantng us! Oh, shall we be always thus?" "Yes," whspered the sunbeams, "Ic s because you Were humble and obedent." When tbe pert snowdrop beard that she bung bet bead, ashamed to look the great sun-father In tbe face. And, as she gas«d at the glowng crocuses, she grew very meek, and sad: " I was wrong; and ob! you are more beautful than I can ever hope to be." " Nay, not so!" cteu tho generous crocuses. "Never before were you half so lovely as now, wth your sweet, bended head." And the lttle sunbeams caressed the snowdrop gently, bddng her be of good oheer; for tb«knd sun-father loved to forgve bs chldren. But snowdrop never rased her pretty bead. All tbe other snowdrops bung' ther heeds, too; for had they not applauded ther alster? And, by and by, as the years went on, people grew to love the anowdtops for ther meek and lowly sprt as much as tbe croonsee far ther gay col* ors; and always tbe two flower trbea dwell close together n most perfect harmony.

When thoy n turn havo lot ther daughters be taken as wves, and thor sons have gono out to serve ther country as solders, sutesmen or as busness mon, the mother feols that her work s dono.

Sho s honored by all tho household and adorod by thellttlo ones, who aro carrlcd upon her back as long as her strength wll allow, and potted and loved oven moro ardently than hor own babes. Now these lttle ones do love obasan, and how they delght to hoar hor stores, frghtful though some of them aro. She has no lovely Bble stores for hem as your dear grandmothers had for you. There are some of noble warrors who gave ther lves fur Jap^n, but mostlyghosts and hdeous monsters tll tho lttle one's bran wth suoh Images that thoy fear to go to sleep. But all the obasan are not so blessed as ths one I am tellng you of.

And then, agan, wo meot the poor, tred ones n the street bendng beneath heavy burdens, and we know that ther's s a btter lot. And yet how wonderfully brght and cheerful these lttle women aro, even the poor and afflcted. Wo moot them overy day, and our hearts aclo for them, for thoy wll soon havo to lay asde thor burden, and they know not of tho "rest of heaven."

Washngton at ths season s n ts greatest glory. Its clean and shaded streets and avenues, ts beautful parks and Its magnfcent buldngs combne to make It a most attractve cty. For recreaton I can conceve of nothng more delghtfhl than bcycle rdng on Its smooth street.. I devoted a week after my return to sght-seeng, and now thnk I have vla'ed about all the places oflnterest here, and there are many. I enjoyed a vst to the Senate ths week very much. I had been frequently before, but found the proceedngs on ths occason especally attractve because of the able and sprted dscusson of the subject as to whether cadets should be re<ure«l to take a four or a sx years' course at the Annapols Naval Academy. Senators Chandler of New Hampshre, Tllman of South Carolna and Hale of Mane favored sx years, whle Foraker of Oho and Lndsay of Kentucky advocated only «four years' course. The longer course was adopted. I was In the House when the vote was taken on the Pearsons-Crawford contest casp. Crawford, who had been seated on a certfcate of electon, was retred by a vote of 129 to 127, and Pearsons was mmedately sworn n amd mngled cheers and hsses. The nterest ran hgh. They come from the nnth dstrct of North Carolna, n whch A^evle s located. Crawford s a Democrat and a Baptst. I heard some of the dlscuralon, but dd not get AUy nto the merts of the case, and yet my sympathes were much enlst^ for Crawford. Party preference played no part wth me. The meetng of the Amercan Socal Scence Assocaton In the audtorum of the Columban Unversty ths week brought together some of the foremost educators of Amerca. I attended but one sesson, at whch I was much Interested In a paper on "The Aesthetc Factor In Blucaton' by Prof. E. H. Soeath, I'h.D., of Yale Unversty. H. L.

The organuktlon of tbe entre Conference moved lke clock work. Saturday was devoted to dlsonsslons of the work of Students and Other Young People. John. R. Mott, whose name and Atme have grdled the earth, presded hroughout the day In Carnege Hall. The Intereat eeemed to Increase rather than dmnsh. The addresaea of Prof. J. R. Stevenson of Chcago aud Mr. H. C. Duncan of London traced the rapd growth of the Students' Volunteer Movement In ths country and In England. The century began wth three atudenta prayng beneath a hayalkck and consecratng thenuelvea to foregn msson work; It cloeeawlth more than 6,500 standng grded, spyng to the churchea, "Here am I, send me." Tha oflteng of the college atudenta la a challenge to the churchea. The crownng apeech of the day waa by Dr. Charlea Cuthbert Hall of Unon Theologcal Semnary on «'How to Fre the Young Men of the Futnre Hlnlatry and Make them Leadera of Mlaalonary Churchea.*' Hs entre apeech ought to be studed by every young nlnlater. Dr.HaUsald: "Our Lord aaw all human lfe clearly. No mlsta of optlmlam deceved hm-no vela of peealmlam blnded hm. Wth tha cleat vson our Lord Joned deep feellnga of apprecaton and dvne compaaron. Upon ha own holy aoul he bore the grefs and carred the aorrowa of bnmanlty. And to ths clear vlalon of the world and ths deep feelng toward the world our Lord added actual ellbrt for the world. Hs sorrow waa not tbe Impotent lament of one whoftunwould do yet cannot. Hs burden was not the cmahlng bnr> denofpeaalmlata.

In tbe last analyss It la a secondary consderaton whether any ndvdual student In the dvnty acbool baa volunteered for servlcea abroad.

"He requres tha msaonary passon not so much for blrna^ alone, but n tbe name ttf tbe ebarcb lwv seeks to serve. It Is ha to overcome tbe reststanoe of unrestrcted prejudce. It la hs to awake the attenton of apathetc mnds, whch, content wth the form, rather than the lfe of Chrstanty, are blnded by local relgous ntereeta to the larger questons of the world's evangexston. It Is hs to educate the churcb'a Intellgence; knowledge Is the true and eubstantal bass of au Interest In mssons.
