The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1889-03-21

The Southern Baptist Convention, which
meets here in May next, is keeping the
Baptists OF the city busy in the work OF
preparation to receive and entertain the
delegates.
There are expected between 600 and 500
OF these visitors, from the Southern States
in particular, but nearly every State in
the Union will be represented
While the sessions OF the convention are
to be held in the First Baptist Church,
the Central Baptist, Rowan Memorial con.
gregatons are to cooperate fully aud
heartily, All the Protestant Churches Of
the city have assured their Baptist friends
that any assistance in the way of en-
tertaining the delegates that may be desired
will be cheerlully extended, therefore 1t IL
settled that the guests will find Memphis
the peer OF any city where former meetings
have been held. The sessions generally
continue about four days, and it will be
possible for the outside public to lend u
hand in showing the visitors the city, and
other hOsUitable courlcses. The charac-
ter OF men who will be here deserve this
much, and the city has had no better op.
portunity for years TO extend its fame.
Although IL is nearly two months until
the convention meets large number of
names have been sent in TO the Reception
