the State-WoTk For Missions and
Other Causes.
Greensboro, Specialize meeting
Of the Baptist Convention here last
week was a great one, and great re-
suits will follow it.
One of the most interesting and
striking features was the presence of
the many men In the body whose hair
has grown white In the service of the
church, but who are yet actively en-
gagged In the work Their greatest de-
sire In this connection Is TO continue
IN this work of their lives ustir
they can "their bodies with their
work lay down" The man who gives
his young and middle years faithful
ly to the work of the ministry has no
time to prepare himself for another
line of work upon which to depend
when his head begins to whiten with
age. There are men In this COnven-
ton who have no doubt passed the
mile stone which age marks three
score and ten, but age does OF always
signify physical or mental inefficien-
cy and these men are still the much
loved pastors of congregations in the
different parts of the State.
Another striking feature of the
was the high regard In
the oder men were held by the
young men of the body. No effort as
pushing aside" was visible on tho
part of the young men, but on the
other hand Difference to their ripened
experience and safe opinion. The
able young men of the Convention
are not IN any way discounted by the
body. They TT prominent In the
OF their denomination, but they |
10 not attempt to usurp the place or /
% disregard the wisdom of the older |
members.
Among the younger laymen of the /
3onventiOn-no one Is more prominent !.

Grain and his pen to further its in

At Wilmington Next Time.
General pleasure is evidenced at
he thought of holding the next ses-
ion of the Convention in Wilmington
nd the delegates of that city and Of
Ill eastern North Carolina will spare
% effort to give the delegates as cord
al a welcome as they have had In
greensboro. The committee on time

nd an amendment was offered In 1
of Newbern. but the commit

AT the session of the Convention
ne resolution favoring the establish

avorably commended.
The Convention also placed itself
