National baptist Convention - one
Thousand Delegates from Thirty
ave states =. Important Action IN
Regard to n Teachers Paper &c.
ST. LOUIS. November D, 1863.

ST. LOUIS. November y, lce9'
One OF the largest religious conventions
ever held west of the Mississippi river is
now in session in this city. There are pre-
sent over 1000 delegates from thirty-fve
States. deliberating in regard to the Baptist
sunday schools of the United States. The
dnnsus of the meeting Is excellent, aud Its
results must be good.
The chief discussion to-day was upon the
question Of establishing teachers paper
for the whole Union. Many were In favor
of adopting the ,Sunday-Sckool Banner Of
vour city. Others thought that Richmond
was not the place-some preferring phila-
delphia, others st. Louis. A committee OF
six was appointed to take the matter IN
hand and decide It for the denomination.
Three of the committee are from the South,
and their names arc as follows: Rev. a: Z.
Dickinson, of Virginia Rev.J a. Broadus,
OF South Carolina and Rev. W. L. Brant-
ley, Of Georgia.
Money is Very scarce in this region, ana
there have been numerous failures among
business men. The low price OF wheat ana
the destruction Of one-half Of the fruit crop
by the early frost have greatly embarrassed
business circles.
7 Many and great Improvements are being
made in this city, and that it is the great
city Of the West there can be no doubt:

s{ctRn.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, some years ago,
wrote as follows to q young man who re-
quested his advice about becoming doctor
MY Dear Young Friend,-To be physi-
clan, the following requisites, if not abso-
lutely necessary, are very desirable.
FIRST. A sound constitution. The wear
and tear are very great; and cares, broken
rest. irregular meals, and exposure of all
kinds, demand great stamina.
Second. An unselish nature. You must
always think of your patients welfare, not
Of your own comfort or habits.
Third. You must be content to wait
long time before you establish paying re-
putation. :.
Fourth. Much of your work being dis
tasteful, wearisome, wearing to the body
and almost fruitless to the mind, you must
gradually harden yourself to the routine,
and for this you ought to have an easy and
accommodating temper.
Fifth. You must be in constant familiarity
with suffering Of all kinds, which must
either make your feelings tough or keep
YOU in distress. Medicine is very exacting.
! don't believe much in literary doctors. ]
would not have one that was in the habit Of
scribbling verse, or stories, or anything OF
the kind.
Yours, very truly, o. W. HOLMES.
