THE sUNDAY-sCHOOL CONTENTION
Final Arrangements for tho Grent
Gathering Tc-aay-Mo fore Homes
Needed for Delegates.
The final meeting of the general committee
having in charge the arrangements for the
State Sunday School Convention was held last
evening at the hall Of the Young Mems
Christian Association, Mr.. George s. Cook
presiding, and Mr. J. Bachman Haskell acting
as secretary. Reports were received from the
various sub-committees, all of which were OF
the most encouraging nature, and indicated
that the most complete arrangements had
been made for the success OF the convention,
which assemblies this morning, and will re-
| main in session until next Saturday. The
committee on homes, however, reported that,
Notwithstanding the generally liberal re"
sponses that had been made to their
applications for homes for the dele.
gates who are expected to be In
attendance on the convention, they still
needed accommodations for eighty-one gen.
tlemen, most of whom were expected to ar
rive In town this morning at o'clock. In
! order to secure homes for these delegates
number of gentlemen volunteered to provide
themselves with conveyances and drive about
the city this morning TO secure the necessary
accommodation. and 1t Is to be hoped, as well
for Charleston's od.time reputation for hos
pitality as for the merits of the present de-
mand, that all who can do SO will cheerinuy
and literally assist 10 the suitable entertain
ment of the gentlemen from the interior oi
,hs State who have been sent 10 represent
their respective churches 10 this convention.
Some discussion arose as to the advisability
of holding the mass meeting Of children,
with which 1t had been proposed to conclude
the exercises of the convention; on the Clta-
del Green, and opinion seemed generally to
prevail that the location was too pubic TO
comport with the nature of the services
intended to be held. It was, therefore, upon
motion of Mr.. A. T. Smythe, resolved THAT II
a mass meeting be held after the Saturday
services, 1t take place on the mall In front Of
DR.. Smythe's Second Presbyterian) church."
