and that there was raised for Chris
tian education in cash and pledges
$50, 900.
Mr.. Hurt says that the most thrill
ing hour he ever witnessed in relig-
ious convention was Saturday night,
when the great collection was taken
to lift entirely the Indebtedness from
Ouachita and Central colleges. At
the beginning of the last year the edu-
catonal board, through its represen-
tative, Rev. K. G.. Bowers, started out
to raise $4,000 in a year. the amount
necessary to liquidate the indebted
ness upon the two schools. When the
convention met last week Rev. Bowers
reported that during the year he and
his helpers had raised in cash 1000
and in good notes $41 900, leaving a
balance still unprovided for of $4,000.
The report was referred to commit
tee, which reported back to the con-
vention Saturday night that, notwith-
standing the strenuous campaign for
the cause during the year and the very
liberal giving already, the remaining

speeches. When the congregation ad-
journed at II AS p. m. the students of
Ouachta College lighted bonfres in
the streets, and, led by Ouaehita Col
lege band, paradcd the streets until
after midnight.
The convention appointed nine mem
bers to examine the property occu-
pied by the College of Physicians and
Surgeons in Little Rock, and if in
their judgment it was suitable and eX-
pedient at this time, that it be pur-
chased and operated as Baptist sani-
tarium. It also appointed a commits
sion to receive bids from points near
the center of the state suitable for the
location of the Baptist orphanape. The
orphanage is now at Monticello, and
has more than 100 children in it.
The annual proceedings of the CON
ton require a volume of about $50

has awarded the contract for the

will be issued next week.

The convention was in fine spirit,
there were at least 300 delegates and
visitors on the floor, and the thought
of clearing away entirely the debts
from the two schools thrilled all pres
ent. Subscriptions were made in sums
of 500, $3.50, $500, $500, 81 900 and
in lands. Mr.. Hurt says it was relig-
ious pandemonium. Sometimes half a
dozen men would be on their feet in
different parts of the house, shouting
to the secretaries to record their
gifts. All the subscriptions were made
payable in cash or notes of one year
or less, bearing interest and to be de
posted in a Little Rock bank for col
lection.
When IT was announced finally that
the amount asked for had been over
