lied at the session of the convention yes
terday afternoon, At which the question
OF foreign missions was the special subject
for consideration.
Never in its history has the STATE con-
Vention been so moved or displayed so
much feeling upon the subject of missions.
The words of the eloquent secretary of the
foreign board Dr.. K. J. Willingham, so
stirred and enthused the hearts of the
brethren that il seemed thai they would
never get through giving and pledging
themselves, nor ceasing praising God in
prayer and song for the blessings which
had been shoWered upon them.
So great was the interest that all other
business was neglected after DR.. Willing
ham had made his address, and the con-
veuGon gave no attention to any other
subject. The session was continued for
more than an hour after the time for adj
journment, and it was not until the cleo
trio lights had been turned on and the hour
for the night session was approaching that
the members could bring themselves to
break away from such a feast of brotherly
love and self -sacrihce in behalf of the
cause they love. Some even opposed adj
journing, and favored continuing the ses-
sion through into the night session.
1t is seldom given to any man to so
arouse and enthuse the hearts of his fell
low men in behalf of any cause as was
done by DR. Wbningham yesterday after
noon in behalf of the foreign mission
cause. Old veterans Of the convention de-
clared that never in their remembrance
had such a scene been enacted IN the
Georgia Baptist convention. Strong men
wept and words of praise and groans of
emotion answered every expression by the
speakers, and every petition to the throne
of Grace. Ordinarily a Baptist convention
is very decorous and dgnihed delibera-
tive body. The scene yesterday was more
like a Methodist revival than Baptist
convention.
The cause of missions received an impet-
us that viii be far reaching and lasting in
its effect upon the denomination in the
state. 1t denotes the beginning of mission
revival and many of those present yester-
day perceived that such would be the re-

of DR. James p. Boyce, he said. who,
on returning home from Princeton Uni
Versity found that the Baptists had not
a single institution in the entire South
for fitting it's ministers for their work.
At that time all the theological institu,
tons were based upon the Episcopalian
and Presbyterian idea that a man must
have a collegiate education before he could
enter a seminary. DR.. Boyces idea was
that when God called a man to preach
he was preacher whether he had a col
legiate education or any education at all.
He also recognized the fact that in the
development of the church in the South
many men were called 90 the ministry
who were advanced in life and with fam
lilies to support who could afford neither
time nor money from collegiate course
Men of all ages are gathered at the SEM
mary and the course Is so adjusted that
all can take a part of 1t. After thirty
five years of experience this course has
proven to be wise and of mutual advan,
tage to all.
Dr. Boyce's second idea was that the
highest possible training should be given
those men who were capable of re-
ceiving it. 1t was found that
this could be done much more easily bv
reason of the first plan. In a public
school system the course must be adopted

the curriculum of a college is based upon
the same idea. Instead of attempting 10
put everybody through the same mill, a
separate course was established for those
who were capable of taking il, The cleo
tSe course has proven to be the secret of
higher seminary work, and is so being
recognized now throughout The North
One other original idea of DR. Boyce's
was that every theological seminary must
make some provision for the guidance of
its professors in orthodoxy. and as a guar
antee that they were believers in the prln-
cples which they were to teach. Articles
of faith were adopted ana every professor
of the seminary has had to subscribe to

PeriIs of the Monitor at Sea.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The monitor is essentially a harbor-de-
Tense vessel, and its great advantage lies
in the fact-that so little of the vessel Is
out of water, making armor protection pos
sible and effective, with little weight, and
enabling heavy battery to be carried on
comparatively small displacement, which
means small dimensions and light draught.
The small amount of exposed hull means
low freeboard. This renders speed prac-
tically unattainable The Monterey with
1000 tons displacement, has, say. 30 inches
freeboard; draught of water IA feet. In
smooth water, at 1O1a knots the wave
comes over the bow. At fun power. 500
horse, the depth of water above the stem
is about Z feet, and at the forward bar
bette the water is Is inches deep on deck.
Speed, therefore, is out of the question.

MISSIONARIES NEEDED.
Are Ready to Go, but No Money to
Send Them,

The needs of the foreign mission work
were eloquentfy pictured by DR.. Willing
ham. To-day five married men are needed
in the mission work, and the men are
standing ready to go, but the board has
not the money to send them. After a most
glorious year in the mission field, with
hundreds of baptisms, shall we send back
bad news to the workers." he inquired.
Dr. 'Winingham is a member of the we'll
known Wiliingham family of Macon, SO
prominent among the Baptists of the state.
His ability and talent for the missionary
work were early recognized, and now he
is the right arm of the foreign mission
board of the Southern Baptist convention
After the conclusion of the address the
convention sang, "Stand Up For Jesus.
while the members came forward and
shook DR.. Willingham by the hand and as
sured him Of their earnest support.
The brethren were greatly moved bv the
earnest address of DR.. Wildngham and the
singing and Misunderstanding continued for
some time.

with only a short time for canvassins,
eighty-nine students had been secured,
about half of whom are boarders. The
board has placed the price of tuition and
board for nine months at $125. The board
requested permission to apply TO the next
session of the legislature to have the Ger
tiicates of graduation from the school &c
cepted on the same basis as diplomas from
the State Normal School, in order that
the graduates may obtain places as teach
ers without undergoing further examina-
ton.
The report upon education was submit
ted by Rev T. w. O'Kelly, chairman of

conditions of the times the university has

has had an attendance in all departments

Attention has been paid in the investment
or the funds of the university rather to
security than TO high interest, and as a
result the value Of the securities held by
the institution has largely increased
The university received during the year

private benefaction. Yale, Harvard
Princeton, Columbia and Chicago, were
mentioned as educational institutions sup
ported by private endowment, which far
outshine even the best of those supported
by the various states.
Yet it must be admitted" said DR..
Pollock, that when the state reaches a

state are threatened When this time

number of reasons were given why the
endowment of the college should be in
creased, the chief reason being the neces-

Figures were given showing the increase

GOLF IN PHOENIX
How the Wealthy Enthusiast May Be
Coaxed From the North.

Genera! Agent E. W. Gillett of the

many communications from people in
the east and north who want 10 know
about the advantages offered by Phce-
nix as a summer resort. A great
many of the writer's inquire if there
are any golf links here.
This inquiry offers a suggestion
which might be profitably acted upon.
Golf, from a fad in the extreme north
east, supposed not SO very long ago TO
be only another symptom of Anglo
mania, has developed within the last
year into an American sport, second in
popularity only TO base ball. In fact,
within the year more money has been
spent on this game than on any other.
Its popularity is in part due 10 the
fact that ladies can play at it and it's
enthusiasts are found among the
wealthiest classes who actually partic-
ipate in it, while they were compelled
to show their interest in base ball in
more CIR less noisy demonstrations in
the grand stand.
