BAPTIST BIBLE INSTITUTE.
Largely Attended Session at Union
Numerous Churches Represent
ed Profitable Meeting.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
MEXICO, MISSOURI, Aug. 80, 1897
DEAR SIR: / send you a brief out
line of the Audrain Baptist Bible In
stitute that convened with Union
church the 9th, 2sth and 18th of Au-
gust, 1887. The churches represented
by delegates or visitors were Mexico,
Vandalia, New Hope, Hopewell, Long
Branch, Sailing, Littleby, Pleasant
Plains, Benton City, Beaver Dam,
Corinth and others, but we could not
get their names. This was one of the
most successful meetings it has been
our fortune to attend. The questions
were all ably discussed and the sub
jects relating to Bible questions or
church work we're brought out in a
practical way. The little tilt between
Brothers Pittman, Hawkins, Conner
and others on the question, "When
and where the church of Christ was
first organized" ELECTED much COM
ment and put many people to think
ing on this very important question.
Every speaker on the programme,
as well as others who were present
and took part in the discussions,
seemed to be inspired with a special
desire to make the meeting the very
best of the kind ever held in the
county. Miss Matte Sullinger, in a
blackboard exhibit of how to interest
the primary scholars inSundaySchool,
was of special interest and was very
deserving of the many favorable COM
ments passed upon her and her pre-
s~entation of the work. Mrs. Bette
Sappington read an essay on "The
Rewards of ChristianW Workers, (which
was very favorably received by the
large and appreciative audience.
Space will not admit of special mem
ton of all who performed their part
on the programme in a very credit
able manner.
Here is a list of the ministers and
others, who were present and took
part in the discussions: Revs. N. r.
Pittman, j. G. Conner, F. M. Shoush,
E. s. Gibbs, N. 8. Johnston, J.B.Haw-
kins, Ring, r. A. Jesse, Messrs. J. E.
Jesse, James Crawford, Edward Threl-
keld, Thos. Crump, Hiram Threlkeld
and Hon. Mr.. Martin, of Galloway.
Brother Jos. E. Jesse was elected
Moderator and presided with his usual
dignity and ability. He is one of the
most practical and useful men in re-
ligious work il Audrain county. By
a vote of the delegates the next in
stitute will be held with New Hope
Baptist church the last of October.
Too much praise cannot be said of the
good people of Union neighborhood
for the hospitable manner in which
they received and entertained the
large crowd of people that attended
the institute. Each family seemed to
vie with each other to see who could
entertain their guests in the m%ostroyal
style. The dinner on the ground on
Saturday was not only sufficient for
the immense crowd present, but more
than twelve baskets of fragments
were gathered up after all had eaten.
Your scribe and better half will al
ways remember, in their kindest way,
MIR. and Mrs. Kinslow and their sweet,
modest daughters, Lollie and Maggie,
for kindnesses shown. 1t is a real Joy
to spend a day or two in such a Christ
ian home. A DELEGATE.

friends and the blessing of loving re-
latives, Prof. Elmer Sharp, of Albany,
Mo-, was united by the bonds of holy
matrimony to Miss Edna Glass;, one of
the most popular and attractive young
ladies who ever made her home in
Fulton. The wedding was a quiet
home affair, as the bride preferred to
be taken as q wife from among only
those to whom she is nearest and
dearest. There were no attendants.
In a singularly impressive manner
Rev. DR.. Gordon, president of West
minister College, said the beautiful
service of the Episcopal church, which
will never grow old or monotonous,
no matter how often used.
Immediately after the ceremony the
couple came to this city on the II
O'Clock train, had dinner served at
the Windsor, and left at IL: 80 for Kan
a City, whence they go to their flu
ture home in Albany where the groom
has a good position in a college. Prof.

some time aud was generally recog-
nized as n of the brightest and most
gifted young gentlemen of this COM
munity. The bride has a host of
friends here who join with the LED
GER in wishing the happy couple long
life and prosperity, now and forever,
world without end.
The bride was gowned in a hand
some blue travelling suit, while the
groom wore the conventional black
cut-away.
Among those present from a dis
lance were Mrs. McWiliiams, Miss
Lena Pearson and w. A. Edmonston,
from Mexico; Mr.. and Mrs. J. P.
Sharp, parents of the groom, from
Concord, and Miss Alma Gass, from
