UNDER HE SPIRES LARGE AUDIENCES ASSEMBLED
 SUNDAY. Over Fifty Baptist Preachers Occapied Local Pulpits Yesterday.

morning and evening, were attended by large congregations. Excepting two, every pulpit in the city, both white and colored, was occupied by one of the visiting preachers in at tendance upon the Baptist conven- tion.
 As might be expected, there was q variety of sermons preached on these occasions. There was the Baptist preacher whose heart is filled with the love of Christ and Christianity, whose very heart went out to all mankind, and who regards all Chris tians as co-workers In the cause of Christ. and who loves his brethren for Christ's sake. Then there was the Baptist fire-eater of intOlerant spirit, wrapt in the isolation of his matic views and circumseribedc creed, who regards his way as the.sole way to heaven and Ghrist's Kingdom. All of these the people heard and they wondered. There are broad gagged and bigotcd men in all denom- nations and professions, and there should be no blame or eensure be- cause all men do not see alike or req son alike.
 All the services Sunday morning and night were of highly interest ing and instructive character, and 1t is needless to say that all were en- enjoyed by the immense congrega- tions in attendance. Altogether the Baptist convention will be q mem orable occasion in the religious cir cles of Pine Bluff.
