charitable impulses, and try to salts

other ways men strive to compass
worthy ends by unworthy means and
the attempt must always be futile.

cOBB COUNTY BAPTIST S. S. CONVENTION

Met in the MONDAY Church, Friday the
10th inst. Convention sermon was preach
cd by Rev g. 5. 1umhn Mr.. Tumlin
made fine impression on all his hearers.
On Saturday Rev Thomas Boykin, State
s. 5. Evangelist and DR. H. Hatcher, edit
or of Christian Index, were present and by
their stirring speeches and active coopera-
ton infused much life into the body. The
Convention was a success. Plans were
formed fol a thorough canvass of all Bap
list churches in the country in the interest
of Sunday schools.
The object o. this Convention is not to
antagonize any other body of Christian
workers, but it is to increase the interest of
our Baptist brethren in the religious train
ing of those committed to their charge. The
necessity for separate or denominational
Sunday school organizations was discussed
by Rev. A, b. Vaughn Jr.. aud the follow.
ing resolution written by Mr.. Vaughn was
unanimously adopted by the convention:
Resolved, That the necessity for separate
UNCONVENTIONAL Sunday school organizations
arises from the fact that the different de-
nominations use purely UNCONVENTIONAL lit
erature in their Sunday schools; that the
doctrines taught are in some respects differ
ent, that the objects AIMED at are in some
respects difficult, and that the best way to
preserve peace and good will among these
different denominations is that each one do
Its own work Ia its own way.
DIR. W. II. Deans presence and help ad-
ded much to the interest of the meeting.
Messrs. }. j. Northcutt, Jr., w. j. Man
ming, b. A. Bell, H. B. Reed, W. S Cheney
and | d. Upshaw were elected Vice Presi-
dents with Instructions to work up the Sun
day school interest all over the country.
The next session of the Convention will
be held with the Baptist Church at Smyrna,
beginning ON Friday before the 3rd Sunday
in July 1887. In the meantime the Vice
Presidents will hold quarterly Sunday
school meetings at such times and llaees as
they may elect. The Executive committee
Revs g. 5. Tumhn, A. b. Vaughn, Jr, and
Deacon George Roberts will prepare pro-
grammes and furnish such other informa
ton as will be of use to our Sunday school
workers God bless the Sunday school
work. Pax.

The st, Mary's River, in Indiana,
is usually almost without water in
the summer. But recently, without
any reason on account of rains along
its course or those of the tributaries,
the water at Decatur rose three feet.
The water is very cold and yery
eleaF, and the theory IS that springs
in the bed of the river are the cause
of the sudden rise. II the water con-
tinues cold the stream will be stock
