Chas. Manly, D. D., President Of Furman {
University, Greenville, 8. c., and Capt.
John d. Patrick, Of Patrick's Military In q
stitute, OF Anderson, 8. c., who made
some very interesting speeches on the diff
ferent subjects before the convention. On
the subject, "What are Baptises doing for
Missions" DR.: Manly, who was for long
time Vice President Of the Foreign Mission

but very interesting talk.
On the subject Of "Who should teach

teach some Of them, although church

discussions was morally elevating, very in-
otructive and interesting, on all the sub

The second day was devoted entire,y to
miscellaneous business, and receiving re-
ports from the various committees During
this time an opportunity was .xtendad

On Sunday morning a large number ri
delegates and visitors asaamhisd to Xilp/
the Sunday School exercises, which weyo
conducted very oreditably. After short

English, and was easily understood by ALI.

amounts sent by the Sunday Schools, made

was from the Schools, plainly showing that
the Sunday Schools are doing noble work

Ngious causes. If the churches would do
as much as the Sunday Schools, which are
composed mostly Of little children, how :
