After the delivery of these addresses
the committees were appointed.
Unquestionably the feature of the ser
vices has been the great choir of six
hundred voices. The singing Of these
young people is ever inspiring, alwaSs
harmonious and the vibrations of the
choir and congregation fairly shook the
building last evening and were carried
far beyond The auditorium to where
street ear conductors waited on empty
cars to carry these enthusiastic Chrls-
tians. young and old, homeward after the
close of the evening service.
The first address of the evening was
that of f. NJ. Poteat D D., pastor of the
Memorial Baptist church, Philadelphia
DR.. Poteat chose as his subject develop
ment of Character" and made an address
both oratorically eloquent and practlcaliE
helpful. He voiced obedience to duty and
| those higher things that belong to the
Christian as the great essential to the
! development of character in all the best
that the term signifies.
The singing of the beautiful hymn,
Jesus, Savior" Pilot Me, was sym
pathetically rendered.
Pastors Have Conference.
One of the interesting meetings of the
first day was that held in the Sunday
school room Of the First Baptist church
from until 4 o'clock in the afternoon
1t was presided over by c. A. Hobbs. 1t
was conference of the pastors who
are attending the convention.
The pastors took up the question of
the aid that is being given the church
by the Young Peoples Union, and the
general tenor OF nearly all the remarks

among the younger members of his con-
gregation.
Chapman Again Made President.
When the International Baptist Young
Peoples Union set out to select its first
president thirteen years ago, John II.
Chapman. of Chicago was the choice OF
the infant organization for this Office.
There has never been another president
of the union. for the first choice seemed
to have been the wisest possible, and so
when Mr. Chapmans name was proposed
tor reelection last Friday morning there
was not one murmur of dissent and for
the thirteenth time he was installed in
office as head of the great society.
Enthusiasm ran high out in the audito-
rum at Piedmont park just after the
election and 1t was iybnant epthusiasm
that broke out IN song-such songs as
My Country, It's of Thee" and GOD
SAFE the King" for Canada as well as
the United States sends its representatives,
to the convention of the union.
The whole election was unanimous, for
that matter. The selections Of the nomi-
mating committee were read by Rev J. NJ.

body. and We're adopted instanter by "a
show of hands" each name being greet
ed with a storm of applause.
