The twelfth annual convention of the
Sunday School Society Of the Baltimore
Conference of the M. E. Church South,
met at the Methodist church here Monday
night with Mr.. 7. J. Magruder of Balti-
more, the President, in the chair. The
first meeting of this body was held in Bal
timore in 1867, and its fourth in Staunton
tended that the members were greatly dis
couraged, but since then the society has
gotten new life and power and at its pres
ent session nearly two hundred delegates
and visitors are present. At the Staunton
convention DR.. s. III. Williams of Balti-
more, the President, declined reelection
and Mr.. I. j. Magruder of Baltimore, who
has been an enthusiastic Sunday school
worker for many years was chosen to the
position and has held it ever since. He is
the Superintendent of the Sunday school
of Trinity church in Baltimore, is a gen.
tleman apparently about forty-fve years of
age, whose profile resembles that of the
late President Duncan of Randolph Macon
College, and whose manner is engaging,
and seems to fit him peculiarly for the
work of which he is the head. His short
little addresses, which he throws into the
body now and then, have the snap ola pop
cracker and stir even the most listless au-
dience up.
THE DELEGATES
are a fine looking body of gentle amen and
ladies-for ladies are also members of it
and decidedly the most business like re-
porting for duty was made by one of them
from East Baltimore in a crisp, business
like manner that most of the male men,
bers must have envied. None of the ladies
spoke on the topics under discussion
though on Wednesday afternoon an effort
was made to get some from Baltimore dis
trict to say something. The utmost
courtersy characterized the bearing OF
members to each other and the addresses,
both the set and incidental ones were brief
and to the point. That of the President,
called his annual report, was very brief but
very full of an earnest Christian spirit.
