to English architecture. The author in
his preface expresses the opinion that

the new awakening is the larger inter-

it is not enough to be present in spirit

1t was also recommended that this

task of unifying and building up the
Baptist educational interests and from
time to time recommending such meas
ures as may seem of value. TO the
successors Of the committee was left
the task OF fixing the requirements
for recognition by the convention of
an institution of learning as a Baptist
institution
Mr.. Bailey made an interesting edu-
cational address, and was followed by
Mr.. J. G. Scarborough, president of
Chowan Baptist Female Institute, who
made a stirring speech for the cause
DR. j. D. Huffman said the Baptists
of North Carolina occupy an attitude
and relation to education as that of
no other denomination. 1t was the
first denomination to- found a col
lege, and the fiercest contest ever
waged in the capitol was over grant
ing a license to the Baptists to estab-
lish their college. The Baptist de-
nomination was the first to endorse
the common school system in this
State. When all the schools of the
State had gone down and the hearts
of the people were desolate, the State
laid its hand upon a Baptist. who
reorganized a persisted and BARREN
system, and a Baptist is at the head
of this great educational system to-
day, State superintendent James Y.
Joyner. He said that the past history
of educational work done by the Bap
lists in North Carolina was glorious.
An editor in this State wrote years
ago, he said, that North Carolina owed
a great deal to the Baptists, and ex-
cept for them the State would have
been heathenized.
