New Appointments of Conference
Boards at Baptist Convention.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PERU. Ind, Oct. 15-Nothing connected
with the Baptist Convention aroused more
interest than the election of the new off,
GERS. In past years very little attention has
been given to elections, but this year was
different and the choice of a laymau in
place of a minister increased the interest.
The new president, Mr.. W. T. Wilmington,
has not been prominent in church matters,
although an active worker in his own
church in Charlottesville. He rs we'll estab-
lished in his law practice and is hard stu
dent, so that all have confidence in him.
After the election he took hold of the
business in earnest and showed by the
prompt appointment of his boar s that he
knew how to plan the work. With the in
creased attendance to-day about eight hun
dred people are at the convention. The new
