100000 white Baptists, will be in ses-
sion here. beginning Thursday with
the Ministers Meeting. The Baptists
of kentucky are entitled to a repre-
sentation of 2,l00 delegates. This
congregation, OF course, do not expect
that number in attendance, but there
will in all probability be 500 delegates
here, including visitors. All of these
will be entertained by the church
here and the numerous helpers from
other denominations even outsiders
are lending helping hand. Mt.
Sterling always does the elegant
thing, for her population is composed
largely of inbred Kentuckians on the
point of hospitality. 1t may be that
some of our citizens, who desire to
take part in entertaining this host of
christian workers, have been over
looked by the committee. If there
are such they can call on Mr.. w. p.
Guthrie, Chairman OF the Committee
on Homes, who will take pleasure in
coniering with them. On next Sum-
day the various pulpits of the city
will be filled by visiting preachers.
Also churches in the country who APP
ply to the committee, of which Pas
tor w. j. Bolln is chairman, will be
supplied. Already Towards Mil
and Sharpsburg have applied and
there will be preaching at each of
these places on Sunday morning.
The churches of other congrega-
tions of the city have rendered their
houses of worship during the session
of this body. Really it is pleasant to
see christi ans, followers of the same
Redeemer, extending help when 1t is
needed. Church members who have
faith in their religion, who prize the
loving labor enjoined on them, are
always to the front on such occasions,
and if their homes are not sufficient
to entertain, find other ways to help,
instead of hunting and making ex-
cuses.
A great meeting this will be and it
would be well to put ourselves in
condition that we may be able to re-
ceive of the wisdom and helpful in
fluences of the occasion.
