The Singing Convention.

I The Pope County Singing Conven- l tion, which WAS held at Hopewell church on August 4, 5 and 6, was irl-
 deed grand affair. The convention
 was called 10 order on Friday at II o'clock by the president. Bro. c w. Coleman led in prayer. after which the i introductory lesson was conducted by Prof. J. NJ. Boyd. The afternoon was spent in the transaction of business of
 the convention and in singing. Your scribe was reelected president, Bro.
 Robert Talley yice-president. and Prof.
 J. IT. Rushing, secretary. On Satur-
 day there was a large congregation
 present, and there not being much iu-
 portant business 10 transact, the greater part of the day was devoted to singing,
 Hon. Lawrence Russell delivered the annual address in the afternoon to large and appreciative audience. Bro. Russell came on the floor in his usual graceful style, and in his lecture wLich was indeed grand one--he dis-
 played great deal of eloquence. His lecture was received with much inter- est by all We are always glad Co h ave such men with us. On Sunday morn- Ing at an early hour the house was fill ed to oyerflowing. Nearly the entire day was devoted to song service. It
 was day long to be remembered. We
 were entertained by the good people of Hopewell in the very best style. They
 were all ready to bid us welcome in their midst, and not a thing was want ing to make the session pleasant one. There was dinner on the ground each day in abundance, and good enough for a king, and they did all eat and were filled, and l don't know how many baskets were taken up.
 It Is not the purpose of this conven- ton to discuss theories, "ismsn or hob bles, but to do all we can to increase the interest in vocal music and lift it from it's fallen condition to a higher and nobler plane. Theories never dem- onstrate truth; truth always demon- strates itself. A truth IS stone in the wall of creation. Music Is an exact science, and does not conform to any theoretical rules, but theoretical rules must conform to it, or they are of no value. There IS no work man may en- gage in that is higher or holier than singing the praises Of his Maker. We hope the time Is near when Christians will make better use of singing in pub- lie worship, and when this great means of grace will have it's rightful place in Christian services. And we think we have some evidence now of the dawn of that glorious day.
 Fraternally, D. c. HOPKINS.
