The Indian brethren then sang
another song. after which Brother Nc
lntosh addressed the convention on be-
half OF Brother Jumper
Brother Mcintosh said: what I
want to say by the grace Of God
would take year TO say, but l shall
talk just minute We all must pray,
brethren; we must pray for more grace.
Grace comes by your own work, and

have the grace of God we are sure
TO see that beautiful mansion We
! must all pray for the grace OF God.
The grace of God cannot be drowned
out or burned out. The grace OF God
was in the Hebrew children and they
could not burn It out. Jonah had the
grace OF God, and he came near drown

Brother Sewer, German pastor OF
Kansas city next addressed the con-
vention, detailing the progress Of work
among the foreign population.
At the conclusion of Brother SEWERS
address, Brother Marchand. ian ex-
Catholic priest Of El Paso, was intro
duced to the convention as one who
was doing phenomenal missionary
work among the MeXicans. Said
Brother Marchand: Brethren, was
In the darkness OF Romanism for forty
years. received the grace OF God a
few years ago and became BAPTIST
minister, From that time l have not
been able to see how could give these
twenty latter months for the whole
forty previous years OF my life lived
in the darkness of Romanism. have
been appointed minister among the
Mexicans."
The language IL very easy to me.
and with the grace Of God and the
help Of your prayers have been able to
baptlze 167. and right now we have 90
new converts received into the church
to be baptized next month. This work
IL very simple. with proper means we
could have 100000 converts from them
every year"
Brother Marchand then closed with
an appeal for money to erect a house
OF worship. Two thousand dollars. he
thought, would suffice.
Brother Hatcher OF Richmond wanted
TO know II any one would verify what
Brother Marchand had said,
A brother from FL Paso said IT was
all true and that the success OF Brother
Marchand's work was wonderful. In
credible His congregation. he said.
had often TO be turned out of the church
to permit the Mexican converts TO enter
and hear the word of God.
Brother Hatcher then called on the
convention to contribute money enough
TO build n house for Brother Marchand.
Subscriptions were made and finally
the hat was passed and between $1,000
and $500 were raised.
Brother Kincald then offered up
prayer and the convention adjourned to
3 o'clock.
The heat was the chief feature OF the
afternoon session; II played a star en-
gagement, and everything that could
be pressed into service as fan was
used vigorously.
As is usual the audience was much
larger than the one OF the morning.
The choir, too. was In good trim. Its
music swelled and rolled through the
building like the waves OF the ocean.
Brother White did the praying at the
afternoon session.
The afternoon session was record
breaker for disorder. The big crowd
was hot and its exclamations and fruit
less efforts to keep cool created much
disturbance and President Harralson
had to call the convention to order
several times.
when Brother White finished his In
vocations Brother Nunnally arose.
Brother Nunnally was still unsatis-
ned with the treatment accorded his
