FRIDAY EVENING
The entire evening was given to
the Baptist Young Peoples Union.
Aud il was great meeting that
lasted about three hours. 1t began
with coed lively ong service of
familiar htmUs in which the large
congregation joined in a most hear
ty way.
At the conclusion OF this DIR. 7. c.
johnson of Charleston who has been
president of the State Union for
two years very gracefully introduced
J. d Springston Of Anderson as the
president for the next year.
Brother Springston came forward
and accepted the honored position
in short addrt SIS of tender hope
fulness. Then came a very inter
esting part of the entire evening
consisting of echoes from our last
great international b. Y. p. u. meet
ing held in Richmond last July.
These echoes we're heard from Ex-
president johnson, transportation
leader A. Clifford Kinkead of Fair
mont, Dr. o. F. Hippo of Philahel-
phia, j. ID. Simmons of Grafton, and
others of whom had only good words
concerning the great meeting. Then
came rare treat in song by our
two Cuban boys now in the Univer
sity, Edward and Henry Monsou-
lieu The boys, far from home sang
tenderly of their native land so dear
to them.
w. G. Shafer of Fairmont then
gave highly interesting chalk talk
showing the relation of the b. Y. p.
U. to the Pastor.
Showing in how many ways it
could help him in his work.
But the good things are not all
vet, for the G!ee Club of the Univer-
sity under the direction of Prof.
Ellenberger came to the platform
and rendered in most impressive
way. Remember now thy Creator"
and now came the address of the
evening. Z. f. Chivers D. d. of
Chicago, General Secretary of the
Baptist Young Peoples Union OF
America, spoke for about As minutes
in a way SO instructive and helpful
as never to be forgotten.
In conclusion the very popular
song by DIR. johnson of Charleston
and DR.. d. B. Purinton president of
Denison University, Granville Ohio,
was sung by almost the entire con
gregation.
One of the treats of the evening,
and one as much enjoyed any other
was a violin solo by Miss Sitter.
SATURDAY.
The forenoon was taken up in
considering the subject of the Amer
lean Baptist Publication Society, a
very instructive address being made
by DR.. Hippo.
The afternoon with Woman's Mis-
sion Work.
The evening was given to a mass
meeting on the subject of Tenn
perance. Rev. L. E. Peters and 9th
ers speaking.
From Mondays Daily.
The report on Temperance was
read by Rev. Geo. A. Woofter, of
Harrisville, and stated that he had
arranged for the discussion of the
subject and introduced Rev. L. K.
Peters, of Clarksburg, who made a
very interesting speech showing the
great increase in the business of the
Liquor Traffic in West Virginia in
the last 10 years and made an earn
est appeal for more united and Wig
GUS fight against the terrible curse.
While he spoke but 90 minutes, he
had packed into those minutes much
of facts, counsel and appeal. J. d.
Springston, Of Anderson, was next
introduced and spoke about the same
time in giving figures showing the
relative cost of the things of worth
to our our people and that of the
drink business, that our drink bill
as compared with the necessarIes is
simply alarming. But he closed with
some facts showing that there are
some sure signs of decay in the
whisky traffic in this country
Mr.. Springton gave as a re ason for
this hopeful condition that m ajority
of great corporations have taken steps
against its use by their employees. At
this point the congregation arose and
sang vigorously "'Throw out the Life
Line"
Mrs. Raymond wife of president
Raymond was next introduced and in
about 10 minutes made an address of
instruction and encouragement as good
as was ever heard in any gathering in
w. Va.
She especially bore to us the greet
ings of the W. G. II. u. at large and
dwelt on some features of their work
especially that of the training of the
children, saying that we might have
d new force coming up from the
schools. This was a very vigorous
temperance meeting and all went
away feeling that old king alcohol had
received another considerable blow.
Sunday was full day, the arrange
ments for preaching being carried out
as announced by Pastor McCutcheon
in the NEW DOMINION on Saturday.
So far as / have heard the churches
were well pleased with their preach
ers.
Jno. R. Sampey d. d. of the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary at
Louisville KY. was at the Baptist
church in the forenoon and preached
great sermon If the many kindly ex-
pressions by the large congregation
was an index. The Annual prayer
meeting Sunday afternoon continued
for fully one and half hours full of
interest.
Okey johnson Dean of the Law
School led the meeting and showed
that he could in most tender and
helpful way lead the Lords people in
divine service, as well as lead in the
instruction on great law questions.
DR.. W. P. Walker of Huntington
preached a good practical sermon at
the Baptist church at night. So end
ed another the 18th, session Of this
body of w. Va. Baptists.
Much good work was done in these
5 days that they were among US, and
now, Monday, they 60 from US thank
ing us most heartily for the abundant
kindness they received at the hands of
the Morgantown people.
