BAPrIsT CONVENTION.
What Was Done by session at Shefieid
 Monday.

Monday.
 Shefffeld, July 25.-(Special. )-Fol- lowing Is a detailed account of the pro c,sdinEs yeste..iay in the State Bap- tfst Convention:
 After a great day on the Sabbath the convention came together at the ap- pointed hour on Monday morning. The outgoing trains had carried many of
 the delegates and visitors away, but nevertheless a few were present to carry out the program of the day. The devotional exercises were con- ducted by Rev. T. NJ Galloway of Tal- ladega. He read the ninety-sixth Psalm.
 Owing to the demands of Howard College on Saturday morning there was no time left for the discussion of Scottsboro Institute and Healing Springs Institute. These schools, how ever, were found to be in excellent condition under the management of Prof. Yarbrough of the former and w.. A. Windham of the latter. The at tendance at these schools was quite large last year and excellent work was done.
 The report on Evangelism was read by Rev. E. M. Stewart of Montgom. cry. The report was adopted. Rev. T. M. Galloway made the re- port of the Press Committee which was adopted.
 G. G. Miles of Montgomery thought the thanks of the convention should be extended to the press of Alabama | for the splendid reports of the conven- | tion. This took the form of a motion, which prevailed.
 The program was so amended that all the work of the afternoon would | be embraced in the morning exercise. Rev. l.. O. Dawson made the report | fnr o 1raff nr School
 at Howard College. Rev. J. M. Shel- bourne was put in the place of Mir |. | Moncrief of Union Springs. who has
 moved from the State.
 Rev. Arnold S. Smith made the re- port on State Mission Board. It rec | commended some repairs on school property; that $100 be paid the Secre- | tary of the Convention for his service,
 that Bible and colportage work be
 pressed, that evangelism and Baptist | rallies be advanced by the Board. and
 that we heartily commend the course | and work of the Board of the past year.
 | The question of the name of the Healing Springs Institute was raised
 and discussed by w. B. Crumpton and Rev. J. B. Hamlin. It has been for
 years an industrial school in name and will be made so in fact. w. B. l Crumpton moved that the school be
 called the Healing Springs Baptist h.
 dustrial Academy. which prevailed Rev. A. N. Reeves of Winfield spoke
 of the management of the Eldridge | property at Eldridge. Ala. fifteen
 miles west of Jasper desiring to turn | 1t over to the convention for operation l and ownership. ::~= | Rev. A. E. Brown, Superintendent
 of mountain work, was given oppor-
 tunity to speak about the mountain | work .-.+ +.' @s&.
