| EVENING SESSION.
The convention reassembled at eight o'clock,
with Rev. Mr.. Chichester presiding, and after
the singing of the hymn "Coronation" aud
prayer by the Rev. A. J. Stokes, an address
was delivered by Professor Jas. b. Carlisle, of
Wofford College, Spartanburg, upon The first
subject upon the evenings programme, "The
deslitution and exposure of children an ap.
| peal for Sunday-schools ?" he drew graphic
picture Of The condition of child in a great
city actuated by all the passions and Influences
Of childhood and surrounded by all the tempta-
tlons that beset the path through human life,
and enforced the duty Of going Into the high
ways and byways and gathering these chill
dren within the influence Of such agencies as
shall arm them against the perlls of life and
save them from becoming moral wrecks.
The hymn, ''savlour, like Shepherd lead
u.s." was next sung, and the Rev. T. d. Le-
gare, of Orangeburg, followed with brief ad-
dress upon the same subject that had been
treated by Professor Carlisle. Mr.. Legare re-

ed him to visit. Many OF these incidents were
exceedingly affecting, and were listened to
| with great attention aud interest by The au-
dience, and they argued, perhaps as powerful

labor In the cause of moral training.
The "Sunday-school Volunteer Song" was
then sung by the choir and congregation.
after which Colonel A. A. Gilbert, Of Sumter,
addressed the convention. urging the same
lesson of earnest, practical, persistent labor,
the reclamation of neglected children to the
paths of Gospel truth. He portrayed, with
much feeling and effect, the insldlous tempta-

OF all communities, alike dangerous perhaps

leave no room for the blessed teachings
of Christ and His church to enter their mlnda.
The temptations, he said, were confined to
neither sex and TO no condition In life, and
the mission of the sunday.school was equally
to seek and to save those of the community
who had never heard of Christ, and those
whose religious opportunities had been ample,
but had been neglected by the tares of the
world springIng up and choking the growth Of
| the good seed that had been sown In their
hearts.
Another hymn was then sung and after q
prayer and the doxology the crowded congre'
cation was dismissed with bsnedictlon.
