moderator of the central association for
eight years. His standing among the
brethren and his manner of ruling is un-
questionable and very much appreciated.
This session of the Central ASSOCIATION
in every respect has been one of the most
successful in its history.
The delegation was very large, full of
enthusiasm and activity.
Means enough were raised during the
session to liquidate all former and present
Indebtedness. besides sending SIC to the
Home Mission society at New York
The hospitality shown to the delegation
by the pastor, members apd citizens of
the great metropolis of the west (Wichita)
has not been surpassed in any previous
place of meeting. The music furnished |
by the choir was extraordinary. The ex-
hililarations were drank down with great |
pleasure and much appreciation. Never |
before in the history of the Central |
association has any white daily |
paper shown such respect as the EAGLE in /
publishing the daily proceedings.
The following resolution was read by |
Rev. j. w. Brown and adopted:
Whereas, The pastor, Rev. o. p. Sims. |
and the members OF the Second Baptist
church and the kind citizens of Wichita
have so pleasantly entertained the messen-
gers during their stay with them; there

thanks to them for their invitation, cor
dial welcome and hospitality. We shall
ever hold them in grateful remem brance,
and pray that God may give them double

houses with wealth, and giving them
every necessity for life; also we would ex
press our appreciation and thanks to the
choir for entertaining the delegation dur
ing the session with their attractive and
music. We further extend our
heartfelt thanks to the EAGLE for its daily
report of the proceedings, and to the rail-
