GREENSBURG, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE last
two days of the Baptist convention We're
largely attended on account of the young
peoples meeting. The trains of Friday
afternoon and Saturday brought new
rivals for the meetings of Saturday and
Sunday. The forenoon session to-day was
devoted to the work of the American Bap-
fist Publication Society," whose headquar-
ters are at Philadelphia This work is un-
der the direction of s. H. Huffman, of Sey-
mour, who is also the Sunday school mis-
sonary for Indiana. He has represented
the Publication Society in Indiana since
1888 and is one of the strong men of the
denomination. The society does consider
able work in a missionary line through it's
Sunday school missionaries and colpoTteurs,
Some of the great admirers of this society
would push it's interests so as to make the
missionary department appear of equal i'm
portance with those of the great missionary
organizations that spend three to four
times as much money in missionary work.
An effort has been made by a few persons
to induce the convention to instruct the
churches to give equal time and as large
contributions to the work of this society
as to any Of the other missionary organl-
cations, but the leaders in the State are
such a movement. An effort was made to
bring this before the convention for ac-
ton, but after consulting the leaders of
other departments it was decided not to
press it at this time
The young peoples meeting began with
an address by Hon. E. E. Roland of
Greensburg. He spoke on "a Forward
Movement" Rev. Fuller Swift, of Column
bus, spoke on Young People in Revivals."
The address was heard with closest atten-
ton and made fine impression. "Prac-
teal Possibilities was the subject of an
address by Rev. r. D. Trick, of Crawfords-
vile. Mr.. Trick is a young man, filing his
first pastorate, and is a man of ability.
How to Conduct a Christian Culture
Class was the subject of a paper by Mr..
Frank Bachelor, a young layman Of Bluff
ton. The discussion of this subject was
introdced by Rev. j. A. Haynes of VOL
colt. The afternoon session closed with
addresses by Mrs N. b. Leslie, of Mum
Gle, on Training and Teaching" and Mrs.
Lula Moore Finley, of Laporte on Reflex
Influences. Miss Rose Glenn Webster,
who attracted such large audience at the
Woman's Home Mission meeting, also
spoke.
Everybody was on the tip-toe of expecta-
ton about Bob Burdette's lecture on Good
Medicine" More than five hundred tickets
had been sold, and they were still in de-
remain in the city over Sunday and the
pulpits of all the denominations will be filled
by the visiting preachers All things con-
sidered, this is regarded as one of the best
conventions ever held by the Baptists of
Indiana. Hon. John H. Chapman, of Chi
cago, speaks at the closing meeting of the
young people tomorrow night
