 The report of the committee on impor- tant topics contains this paragraph: "The large number of societies that have accepted the Baptist Young Peoples union form of organization indicate the appreciation of our constitution as a working method for our Baptist young people And we hail with pleasure the growing sentiment that the Baptist Young Peoples union is broad enough and haptistic enough to hold in itself
 
 America and the province of Canada, and we trust, in the near future, the Baptist young people of the world. What is Nnod enough for our own beloved Amer "a is good enough for every land"
 The programme was changed so that the salutation of state flags and minute speeches by representatives of state and provincial unions preceded the historic address of Mir. Carroll of Texas. With simple hymn of divine worship, intoned by thousands of voices the young ladies bearing the banners. and the speakers from the state unions marched through the aisles and on to the speakers plat form. where front rows had been re- served for them The flags were ar ranged across the platform, producing very handsome multi-colored effect As the name of each of the thirty-two states and provincial unions was called young lady would hoist banner high above the others and the chosen male repre- sentative would step forward and briefly review the work in his territory for the past year. The state of Wisconsin was called first and gentleman from Mill waukee responded. He was so imbued with the desire to secure next years con vention that he forgot his text and talked of nothing but the attractions Of his city When he concluded the Wisconsin del- egation scored a hit by singing a song to the tune of Maryland, My Mary land" which was an invitation to Mill waukee.
 John Garland Pollard of Richmond, Va, of very youthful appearance. put the convention in a roar of laughter by his inimical delivery of negro anecdote. The balance of his address was particu- Iarly happy and we'll delivered and he was roundly applauded.
 When New Yorks review had been pre- sented its delegation and numerous sup porters sang another song of invitation to Brooklyn. =
 Not to be outdone, the Colorado and other western delegations sang their in vitations to Denver to the melody of .sOpxxord (rbricfian ColdierS
