THE COMING CONVENTION.
MEETING OF THE BAPTIST COMMIT
TEE OF ARRANGEMENTS

Progress or WORK TO Receive anu buter-

Tho committee OF arrangements for the
Southern Baptist Convention, to meet
with the First Baptist Church. beginning
May 10, next held meeting at the store
OF Mr.. r. G. Craig yesterday afternoon.
Reports from many members having
special branches OF the arrangements in
hand, were made, showing that the work
was progressing Systematically and with
rapidity.
Mr.. J. NJ. steen, secretary, reported the
enrolment of nearly 500 delegates who
would attend, with the mails bringing
numerous additional ones daily. AS is
the custom in every city where these
annual conventions have previously been
held the Baptists have taken upon them
selves the responsibility OF caring for the
guests during their stay, and are receiving
the hearty cooperation OF other church
members and many belonging to no
church at all. With several committees
yet TO hear from, homes have been pro-
vided for about 400 delegates, but
this is only about half what will be re-
quired. 1t therefore devolves upon every
citizen who can conveniently take 10 his
home anywhere from one TO dozen dele
gates TO notify the committee, through
Mr.. r. G. Craig, chairman. There should
be no delay in this matter, as the task Of
assigning TO homes will be commenced at
the committee meeting Saturday night.
This, too, will claim the best efforts OF the
committeeman, since discrimination must
be made between ages in the matter OF
distances OF temporary homes from the
church.
The convention that ia TO DO called to
order in this city will be one OF the largest
aud most intelligent bodies OF men ever
assembled. All the great lights in the
denomination arc coming together with a
deputation OF English Baptisls and other
visitors from all sections OF this country.
The convention proper will be composed
Of about 500 members. but altogether
there arc expected to DO not less than
200 in attendance, beyond the local
church members. The business of the
session will interest the large and infuen-
tal denomination the world over and turn
all eyes for the time being upon Memphis,
from which fact alone 1t may be seen at a
glance that the city has rare opportunity
for the exercise Of its notoriously generous
hospitality.
