.BAPTISTS READY
FOR CONVENTION
MORE THAN 600 DELEGATES
WILL ASSEMBLE IN WASHINGTON,
GA, FOR STATE CONVENTION.

Character of the Baptist Young PeO-
pies Union Makes 1t One of the
Most Popular Church Organiza-
tions in the COuntry-Rev. Robert
VnnDeventer Is President of the
state BOdy-"Chnracter" VIII be
the Key Word of the Convention.
All arrangements are now complete
for the State Convention of the Bap-
fist Young Peoples Union at Wash
ington, June 81, %, % and "a.
All the churches of the state have
selected their delegates and completed
arrangements for the trip.
There will be about 900 delegates in
attendance on the sessions of the con-
vention, the greater number going from
Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Macon
and Valdosta.
Rev. Robert VanDeventer, pastor of
the Duffy Street Baptist Church, is
president of the Georgia organization,
and he will preside over the sessions
of the convention. All reports which
have been made to him thus far indicate
that the convention will be the most
successful in the history of the Geor-
gia organization.
The keyword of the programme will
| be Character" and all of the ad-
dresses will be toward that central
theme. There will also be q number
of conferences on Methods"
On Wednesday afternoon there will
be no session and the convention will
be given a barbecue by the people of
Washington.
Georgia is one of the leading states
| in B. Y. p. U. work. and no other
state equals Georgia in the size and
excellence of its state conventions. 1t
has been said that the meeting
of the B. Y. P. u, of Georgia, re-
minds one of the international con-
vention.
The convention was organized in
Macon in 1895. Rev. j. L. White, D.
D., of Macon, was the first president.
He was succeeded in the Office by J..
j. Whitfield, of Hawkinsville. and he
by Prof. NJ. l.. Britain of Atlanta,
| and President Britain by the pres
ent incumbent.
The meeting places of the conven-
ton have been Macon, Griffin, Augusta,
Columbus, Atlanta, Rome, and Sa-
vannah.
The distinguishing feature of the
is primarily an educational organiza-
ton. to train the laity in and for
| Christian work With this end in
view, courses of study like those fur
nished by the theological schools, are
prepared and studied by the Baptist
membership in all parts of this coun-
try and Canada. Many thousands pur-
sue the studies annually.
The people of Washington are maxi
ing elaborate preparations for the en-
tertainment of the convention and
complete arrangements have been made
to care for all.
No place in the state is of more in
terest to Georgia Baptists than Wash
| ington. 1t was for many years the
home of Jesse Mercer, first among all
Baptists. The first Baptist churches
| of the state were established in
that vicinity, by early settlers,
who crossed from South Carolina.

David Williams Confirms the Dam
aging Reports from DaY County.

Writing from Webster, S. D., to
Way-Johnson-Lee company of Min
neapolis, David Williams, banker and
lumber dealer, says:
Answering your favor Of the 3rd inst,
relative to crop conditions in this vicinity,
would say that up to Tuesday night
had supposed we had one of the finest
prospects ever known in this vicinity, but
Wednesday, upon close examination Of
the fields, found them to be full of black
rust. One popularity is that the grain on
the high places is more affected than on
the low ground, and I think that a con-
sentative estimate of the damage in this
part Of Day county is from 10 to so per
cent. Some fields I do not think will be
cut at all. With this rusted condition the
harvest will be fastened, with the result
that the berry will be shriveled, the stalk
weakened and the wind will undoubtedly
break off large percentage of the stalks
and they can never be gathered with a
harvester. think that the situation is
very serious"
