%AppOmattOx Association.

The N hundredth session Of Apo
mattox Baptist Association convened
Tuesday at good old Sharon (Sandy
River church.
The centennial sermon was preached
10y Rev. p. +. Warren, who took for
his text, Acts los. The session con-
tinued three days adjourning yesterday
afternoon.
The officers Of the Association this
Year were elected a. follows: Rev. w.
J. Shipman, moderator; Rev. Jno. b.
Williams, clerk; Rev. n. l.. Shaw,
Treasurer.
The attendance Of delegates was not
as large as is u~sltahupon meetings Of
this association, but the crowd Of visit.
OTIS each d$\was fully up to the aver
age in.numbers. Good order prevailed,
and considering the vast crowd about
the grounds Rhile services were being
held in doors, the quiet which relgned
in and around the church yard was re-
markable.
On account Of the special and active
efforts made last year to raise "A record
breaking sum for State missions, the
contributions for that purpose, as well
as for all the boards, fell behind some
what this year.
-
The historical address in connection
with lh, Association centennial cele-
bration made a profound impression.
The address ON the history and de-
velopment Of Appomattox Association
by Rev. Hugh G. Smith, was admirable.
Rev. j. w. II. Dyches delivered an
exceptional fine address .On the
groWth Of evangelism during the CEN
fury.
The good people none better on
earth) Of Sandy River neighbour
hood had an abundance to eat for every
n who attended the Association and
on Wednesday, when the crowd was
estimated to be between 100 and 1900,
all were fed at the same time, and not
one dissatisfied could be found.
Yesterday morning he orphanage at
Salem was discussed, foreign missions
reported upon and the state Of the
churches throughout the association
talked about. In the afternoon the
Of temperance was discussed by
Rev. w. 1. CoyIngton and Rev. w. l..
Warren, and the Association adjourned.
You can seldom size up a man by
the opinion he has OF himself.
1t generally costs an effort to live up
TO an established reputation.
