The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1903-11-11
c. E. Convention.

district was one of the best hold
since it's organization. Most of the
delegates arrived there Friday eve
ming, there being about forty in all.
They expected about seventy-five
but the rest could not come on ac-
count of sickness and other obsta-
Giles. We were met at the depot by
the reception committee, of whom
there were quite number, and as
we descended the steps of the coach
were welcomed by a song. From
the depot we went to the church
where we listened to quite a fine
program. After the "Welcome Ad-
Dress" by Rev. p. F. King, pastor
OF the Christian Church, every one
realized that they were certainly
welcome. Mr.. Houston Rion, Pres
ident of the fourth district, land
competent president he isl told US
of the C. E. Society: in a way which
displayed his enthusiasm in this
work and was much enjoyed by all
who had the pleasure of hearing
him. The remainder of the pro-
gram for the evening was good but
space forbids us giving it. After
the services we went to the recep-
ton room of the church where we
registered, partook of an elegant
lunch, (such as the Carlisle people
are capable of getting up) and then
were assigned to our elegant homes
where we were entertained land en-
tertained we were indeed.)
Saturday morning the program
was resumed. Rev. f. M. finder,
former pastor of that church, was
on the program for two talks but
was unable to get there, greatly to
the disappointment of the people,
and some others that were to adj
dress the convention failed to get
there also. Their places were filled
by others. We had the pleasure OF
listening 10 the talented Sunday
School Worker, Mr.. Robt. Hopkins,
which was enjoyed by all. Brother
King introduced Brother Hopkins
as 1.-The Condensed Cyclone,
which the congregation agreed with
him upon being an appropriate ep-
itaph. Most of our people are ac-
quainted with Brother Hopkins and
| will remember him as Quite an en-
thusiastic Sunday School worker.
Brother III. j. Derthick, of Berea,
Of whom a number at this place al e
acquainted with, addressed the
Convention on "The Mountain
Problem" and after this / think
the people had quite a different
view of the mountain people and
their ways. The address by Rev.
A. H. Lindsay on what is Prayer"
gave us al al incite in the way TO
lpray. Remainder of program good.
Saturday afternoon was Junior
Session, lead by Mrs. Alex Conner,
District Junior Superintendent,
showed what the Juniors have done,
could do and are doing, and dis
plaped Mrs. Corners ability as a
superintendent. All the talks and
readings were good.
One of the special features of the
evening was the paper read by Mrs
j. w. Arnold, of Richmond. (nee
Miss Margaret Jones, of this city, J
} ON "Christian Endeavor in our
State Prisons. Ii it Worthwhile,
and Why2" This gave all an in
cite into the prison work, and
showed what great good is being
accomplished by the perseverance
of these Christian women and men,
We also had the pleasure of listen
ing to the male quartette of Chris
tian Church which is the finest we
have heard.
Sunday morning we had regular
Sunday School and Church ser.
vices.
Sunday afternoon services were
held at county Jail lead by Miss
Etha VanArsdali, District Prison
