THE CHURCHES AND SOCIETIES.

After an adjourned session of the
Sunday school convention, the asso-
citation re-convened in the church
yesterday morning. 1t was called to
order by the moderator, Rev. Alexan-
der Harris After the usual devotion
al exercises, the roll was called and
the delegates present responded by
paying the 81 assessment.
Rev. L. p. Pinkney, principal of the
Baptist high school of Brunswick,
was present and represented his
school very ably. After his. speech,
donations we're made by those pres
ent, amounting to 81 cash, amount
subscribed to be paid in thirty days,
$l6. Those subscribing S. were Rev.
F. M. Simmons and Mr.. Sam Nc
Gilbres.
Rev. Curry, of st. Paups A. NJ. E.
church; DR.. Johnson, and another
minister we're then introduced to the
convention. and all made speeches.
The speech of Rev. Curry was an ex-
ceptionally good one, and he Is an
orator of fine type, too. Besides hav-
ing a correct and easy flow of speech,
grace of posture and gesture are in
dispensable parts of oratory. These
Rev. Curry has much to his advan-
tage. DR.. johnson also spoke, and
suggested such practical ideas that
they were put readily in use by the
convention relative to the high school :
that committee be appointed to make
a house to house canvass in the inter-
est of the school. This suggestion was
referred to the school board to act
upon and appoint that committee.
Rev. John Williams, chairman of
the board of the Baptist high school,
offered a motion that the school be
adopted into the association and
placed upon the statistical table of the
association, to be fostered and sup
ported by Its members and friends.
The motion prevailed.
Rev. F. NJ. Simmons, corresponding
secretary of the state Baptist conven-
ton, was accorded the floor at noon,
and in an able speech presented the
cause he epresented-that of mis-
sions. He spoke of its work, and
asked the association for help, where
upon SIS was voted to him,
