 All of the various evangelical churches of Sheffield, Florence and Tuscumhia have requested the Associa- ton, through their pastors. to supply their pulpits for the morning and even ing services of Sunday. the 23rd. A committee from each of the Bap- list churches of the three cities has been appointed to secure homes for the ministers, delegates and visitors, ana report most excellent progress. There | is no question that members of the As sociation will be royalty and hospitaoiy entertained; in fact, there are no cleverer | people to be found anywhere than the | church goers of Sheffield, Florence and Tuscumbia. The latter city entertained the annual session of the North Ala | bama Methodist Conference in 1905, l which proved one of the most delight | fuI and successful sessions in the Con- | ferences history. Sheffield promises | the Baptist Association a similar recep- 1 ton.
