sented to the visitors, and grasped them
warmly by the hand.
DR.. John A. Broadus, president OF the
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary,
selected to respond to DR.. Parker and Mr..
Show, was then presented to the conven-
ton. He deplored the absence from his
mind OF something to say, since his heart
was so DESTROYS OF speaking appropriate to
the occasion. He assured the ministers
that the hearts of the convention had
warmed toward them very, very much.
DR.. Broadus, as he warmed up, found no
difficulty in saying something, ard held
the audience to closest attention. In con-
cusion, he turned and feclingly extended
his hand TO DIR. Parker and Mr.. Show in
behalf OF the entire Baptist world OF the
South. The procession OF individual
members was again taken up, while the
vast audience sang, There's land that
is iairer than day." and the visitors had
their hands subjected to numerous and
vigorous shakings, which was continued
during the singing OF "Am | q soldier of
the CROSSE" both standing.
