SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS AT
NEW ORLEANS.

The very low rates offered for this
occasion will enable good delegation
to leave Nashville. One of the most
interesting meetings of a national
character that will be held during this
year will possibly be the National
Baptist Sunday School Congress and
Young Peoples Chautauqua in New
Orleans this month. Nashville will be |
represented by its leading Baptists,
while many Sunday schools will send
delegates, and the B. Y p. us will |
send their representatives. Nashville |
is particularly interested because the
organization was perfected in Nash
vile and the first meeting was held
here last year, and because the pro-
moters are both business men and in
terested in Nashville. 1t is learned
that the B. Y. p. U. and the National
Baptist Publishing Boards are the pro-
moters of this Sunday school and
young peoples movement which has
assumed such large proportions in its
second year The object of the meet
ing, as learned from the organizers of
the movement is to give some atten-
ton to Sunday school and young peo-
pies work by holding the meeting in
midsummer when all Of the teachers,
as we'll as the pupils from the scores
of schools and colleges, can lend their
presence and their aid.
A very low rate has been put on by
al railroads on account of this meet
ing. The fare from here to New Or
leans over any of the roads will be
$500 for the round trip. Tickets are
to be on sale on the "a and %, good to
return, leaving New Orleans July 1,
not later than midnight The New
Orleans people have made great prep
arations to entertain the delegates.

While not much has been said II
r Nashville concerning this meeting, the
, interest on the outside has been a
fever heat, judging from the amount
1 of space given by some Of the larges
e newspapers. The National Baptis
/, Union for instance, which is the larg
: est Negro newspaper published in thu
United States, and which is the officia
o organ of the National Baptist Conven
t ton, edited by Dr. E. w. D. Isaac, ha
= given unlimited space each week. |
: has a long list of subjects which will
/, he discussed at the Sunday Schoo
d Congress. The part that the Nash
Vile people will play at this Congress
/, makes it a very important meetin
from a Nashville standpoint.
