Interesting Session.

The Sequachee Valley Association OF
Baptists WAS in session here four days
last week. Since the body adjourned
Pastor Alexander has been conducting
revival services, much interest being
manifested in the meetings.
The meetings Of the Association were
interesting and, we trust, profitable.
The subjects up to discuss were ably
handled.
The only drawback was the fact that
several churches were not represented
by delegates and ON that account little
break was noticeable in the proceedings
here and there. And, tOj, the attend
ance from distance was not what 1t US
ually is and there was disappointment
much along that line, Many delegates
came expecting to hear sermons and
talks from such men as DR.. Garrett, OF
the First Church, Chattanooga, Rev.
j. o. Rust, of Nashville, Prof j.
w. Terrill, president of Terrill College
Dechard, DIR. A. ]. Holt, Nashville, and
others, but aside from these disappolnt-
ments this Association was the best ev-
err held, and most If not all, of the dell
egates returned to their homes encours
aged with the work Of the past year and
encouraged with the outlook for the fu-
ture.
Rev. J. b. Alexander was modera tor
of the body during It's sittings. Rev. j.
c. Lambert, of Marion County, was
clerk. Both were very efficient in the
performance Of the duties deVOlVinR up
on them,
