BAPTIST CONVENTION CLOSES.

The fifty-second session of the
Southern Baptist Convention closed in
Richmond Monday night. 1t was one
OF the busiest and one of the most en-
couraging sessions ever held by that
body. There were increased contribu-
tons and greater results accomplished
by every board in the Association.
$f03,Sli was raised for foreign mission
work; over 1921, 900 for home missions,
and $l6l, 439 was received by the Sun
day School and Bible board. Plans are
now being put forth to raise $500, 600
for church building fund to help
needy churches.
There were 1898 baptisms, or an
average of so day during the year.
The department of evangelism was re-
ported to be decided success. Begun
last year, it now has IL men employed,
who have worked in six States. The
work shows that more than /, 200 per-
sons have been brought into churches
through these evangelists.
AT mass meeting for foreign mis-
sions, led by R. J. Willingham, secretary
speeches were made by j. w. Bailey,
North Carolina, and George w. Smith,
Texas, at the close of which Wal
ter Brooke, of Rome, Ca, gave $50, 900
to foreign missions.
Rev. P. I. Hale, of Kentucky, read
the report on education, and among the
several recommendations adopted was
the following:
THAT our people earnestly pray and
study as to whether the time has not
now come when the nearly 1000, 600
white Baptists of the South should
found at some city that may be decided
upon by the convention as most suitable
great Baptist university, one that
will be worthy of the great denomina-
ton, with its increasing members and
rapidly enlarging wealth.
The adoption of this resolution practi-
cally commits the convention to the es-
Establishment of great university. The
report further showed that the Baptist
colleges of the South were valued at
So, 900, 600.
President E. Y. Mullins, of the Theo-
logical Seminary, at Louisville, KY,
submitted the report of that institution.
He said that the trustees were raising
81, 100000 additional for the endow-
ment. Following the report and adj
dress number of leading ministers
addressed the body in the interest of
the Seminary.
The Woman's Training School was
discussed and nearly $1,000 was pledged
to its support.
The matter of the Baptist exhibit al
Jamestown was presented by Rev. r.
b. Garrett, chairman of the committee,
and an offering was made to pay a bal
ance of 81, 900 on the building.
The next meeting will be held at Hot
Springs, Ark, in May, 1908.

RELIGIOUS NOTES.

The next general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South, will
be held at Asheville, N. c., in 1910.
Richmond was too slow in her bidding,
and lost the Conference.
There will be no preaching in Irving
ton Methodist church Sunday evening
owing to all day service at the Baptist
church. Pastor Garner will preach at
Wesley Chapel in the afternoon.
Children's Day exercises will be held
at White Stone Methodist church next
Sunday morning at 10 O'Clock. Also
Children's Day exercises at Wesley
Chapel, lower Lancaster, that night at
$50 o'clock.
Union evangelistic meetings, con-
Quoted by the Rev. George c. Gates.
under the auspices of the Presbyte-
rian, Baptist, Methodist and Christian
churches, resulted in one of the
greatest religious revivals ever known
In Petersburg. Over 1000 persons. old
and young, of both sexes, and
embracing all professions and classes
OF business, professed religion and
consecrated themselves to the Masters
service.

FRATERNITY NOTES.

About one thousand Red Men paraded
Norfolk streets one day last week as
sixty thousand pale faces, more or less,
stood chock-a-block on the streets and
sidewalks, on door stoops, porches and
at windows up to the seventh story and
looked on. Where all the people came
from it is not easy to answer, But they
were there. The parade was one of
the features on the program of the
meeting there of the Great Council of
Virginia, Improved Order of Red Men.

DOWNINGS.

The recent soaking rains put a
quietus on corn planting and much is
yet to be planted here.
The recent weather has been very
hne on the growing hay crop, and while
we have here some very promising and
beautiful lots of both red and German
clover and some very pretty timothy.
generally the promise for hay is short
and discouraging and many of us can't
ran back on the crop of pea hay as we
have been for years, as peas are very
scarce at $3.50 bushel. We all rejoice
that the distressing shortage and need
OF hay and fodder that has existed here
for six weeks or more is about over and
the warm and damp days have caused
the grass and buds to grow very fast.
There is enough fruit here for home
use if it natures.

VETERANS SCARED up.

Colonel John w. Gordon. the general
chairman Of the Confederate Reunion
committees. and his veteran associates
were thrown into a state of great
mental anxiety by the announcement
last week of Adjutant-G General Ander.
son that the Commonwealth, owing to
the jamestown Exposition, will be I'M
able to lend the old soldiers the 4SS
tents which were promised some months
ago. General Anderson explained that
he has orders from General Fred Grant.
United States Army, who commands
all the troops at the Exposition, to have
the camp of the Virginia troops pitched
as early as May goth.
Colonel Gordon, on hearing the news.
went in great trepidation to Governor
Swanson, and laid the whole situation
before him. He said that the change
would prove almost ruinous. as the
veterans had confidently counted on
procuring the tents, which were prom
ised them, and had made all their plans
accordingly. If Colonel Gordon wanted
sympathy, he certainly got it from the
Governor, who was all attention when
the exact state of affairs was explained
to him. Figuratively speaking, the
Executive promised to move heaven and
earth to rescue the old soldiers from
their dilemma, as he thoroughly appre.
ciated theirperplexity. Governor Swan
son said he would forthwith put himself
in communication with General Grant
and explain matters to that officer.
LATER.
One of the happiest men in Richmond
yesterday afternoon was Colonel Johr
w. Gordon, general chairman of the
Confederate Reunion committees, and
the thing which filled his soul with glad.
ness was the definite promise from
Governor Swanson that the old soldiers
should have the tents they need for
their big camp in the West End. Prior
to receiving the message from the Gov
ernor, Colonel Gordon closed contract
by wire with Syracuse, N. Y, house
for 1000 tents and another with a Phil
adelphia concern for like number.
Therefore, he now has enough to meet
all his needs, no matter what NAV hap
pen. -Times-Dispatch.
