the boards should have organs OF their
own, and ably defended the idea
DR.. F. II. Kerfoot, secretary Of the
Home Mission Board. was called upon
by the chairman. He said he wished to
see the day when the papers could give
more attention to the work OF the boards,
furnishing more space in their weekly
issues. Rev. r. NJ. Barne. editor OF the
Baptist Chronicle, followed. and said that
on his part he was perfectly willing tc
publish full information of the mission
work provided he could get it, and sug-
gested that the paper which would not
follow his example was not working to
the best interests of the denomination
He said that the boards could accom-
plsh their desires in having the matter
published by sending it to the papers, he
thought.
The session closed with prayer by DR..
John II. Eager, of Baltimore.

MAY BE ELECTED.
The business session to-day promises to
be one of considerable interest. Officers
will he elected and reports will be re-
ceived. II has been said that DR.. Z. e.
Folk Will be made president, but this
appears to be unlikely. DR.. Folk is now
secretary and treasurer and has filled the
position long and efficiently and has made
himself TOO valuable even TO be honored
casion his removal from the other Office.
DR.. T. T. Eaton has been mentioned for
this latter Office. and it appears probable
that he will receive it.
Among other matters OF business to
come before tie association will be the
enlargement Of its bounds so as
to include the north as well as the south.
There was considerable talk of this yes
terday, but it is known that there is some
nposition arising from the fact that the
southern editors represent one division
Of this denomination and the northern
another.
The afternoon yesterday was spent in
showing the visitors over the city Car
races We're provided and at $50 o'clock

weather proved Of some Inconvenience,

rendered them at Richmond College by
