NEW CHURCH FOR BAPTISTS
Committee Appointed Yesterday
 to Figure on New Building.
Growth Of Church During Rev. J. J. Hurts Pastorate Demands New House of
 Worship.

A committee of ten members was appointed at the Baptist church yesterday morning to con- slider the cost of remodeling the present church house, the cost of constructing new building, the question of a new site and the means of raising money. This committee consists of Col. G. w. Bruce, E. w. Rogers, J. Haydon, w. w. Rivers, J. Frank Jones, w. B. Clayton, O. o. Florence, w. R. James, Fri Livingston and Charley Deal. The committee met at the pastors home yesterday af- ternoon and framed their recom- mendations to the church, which will be presented to the church at the next regular business meeting. It is understood that they will rec ommsad the construction of new building, but further than this no particulars would be given out un- til the report of the committee has been presented to the church.
 Pastor Hurt said this morning that the committee was in session two hours and talked freely upon every phase of the question, and the committee was unanimous in every recommendation. ''lt IS recognized by all of us, said he, "thar our church is very weak financially, and that we must sac rifice to the limit in order to erect a church house adequate to our needs, but our people seem ready and anxious to go under the load. Our Sunday school has outgrown our quarters. Three years ago when I came here we had S4 in Sunday school. Yesterday morn ing we had 2o4 present, and we could get many others if we had proper accommodations. Tn, lit tie Sunbeam Band had 2S present yesterday afternoon, and even the little folks are enthusiastic over a new building"
 MT. Hurt says he has talked with a number of friends in Con- way who are not members of his church, and that without a single exception they have agreed to help in the enterprise. He says it is this spirit of cooperation and fraternity that makes Conway the greatest town on earth. It is known that at the Baptist convention in Fayetteville last week gentle man spent the good portion of a n'ght urging the Conway pastor to consider work which would pay him twice the salary he gets here, but Mir. Hurt says he declined to consider 1t seriously. He says it is his purpose to build a good Bap-

His speech was considered one o1 the strongest if not the strongest of the convention.
 He was unanimously elected sec retary of the convention and all ready has the minutes out. The Baptist leaders recognize in him a man who accomplishes things and he is used in the forefront of the progressive movements of the de- nomination.

The news of the re-appointment of MT. Stevenson to this charge will be received with much joy by the people of Conway, and especi- ally those composing his congre- gation. The fact that Messrs.
