CONGRESS OFFICIALS BUSY.

No time is being wasted by the of
ficials and promoters of the Sunday
School Congress. Early Monday
morning the secretary of the Congress
Movement and the secretary of the
National Baptist Publishing Board
by appointment, called upon the pres
ident of the Nashville Railway and
Light Company, Mr.. Percy Warner,
and held a conference with him
relative to the handling of the large
delegation which will come to this re-
ligious gathering. 1t is contemplated
to have the various committees at
both the Union station and the Ter
minal station to meet all incoming
trains and to have the cars run
through from the depot to Mt. Olive
Baptist Church, but this could not
be definitely stated, however, as it is
quite difficult to run many of the cars
over Cedar street hill unless the cars
are provided with the double brake
to ascend and descend. But it was
definitely stated that the president
and directors have taken under con-
slderatlon many other plans that were
recommended for the comfortable
and convenient handling of the large
crowd expected. One of the things
recommended at the conference was
that special outing be arranged for
one afternoon in which chartered cars
would be used giving the visitors an
opportunity to see Nashville The re-
port of this conference was conveyed
to the Baptist Ministers who were
in session Monday. They heartily en-.
dorsed the movement and appointed
a General Committee of Arrangements
to begin work at once This commit
tee is composed of the pastors of the
forty-two Baptist churches of the city
Rev. r. J. Townsend was made chair
man and Rev. j. G. Fields secretary
The committee is to have their head
quarters on the second floor of one
of the Publishing House Buildings al
521 Second avenue, North. They will
sub-divide themselves up to make
other committees and call upon thu
Sunday-schools for other material.

CLEVELAND ON JOSEPH B. FoF
AKER.

George F. Parker in McClure's
Magazine.)
The country will still recall the
excitement incident to the Presi-
dents order in 1887, for the return
to their various States of the flags
and ensigns captured from Confed-
crate regiments in the Civil War.
In this uproar Joseph B. Foraker,
then Governor of Ohio, took prom
inent part; but Mr.. Cleveland's
tendency to forget or overlook all
such episodes, especially when they
had a personal bearing, was shown
in the discussion of the Railroad
Rate Bill in the Senate in 1906.
When | told him that expected
soon to see Senator Foraker in
Washington he said:
I have not known of anything for
years which has pleased me more
than the Ohio Senator's attitude upon
current public questions. Whatever
may be the whole truth about the
Brownsville case, it has been a dis
play of genuine courage for a Re
publican Senator to take the position
assumed by Mr.. Foraker. 1t is due
to him that there has been a rea
discussion of the Presidents actor
in all its bearings. / have, too, beer

contributions made by the Senator tt
the debate on the Rate Bill. It ha
been an enormous advantage to SAN

Pythian responsive reading was read
according to program and then an
other ode. Owing to the absence OF
Grand Chancellor, Sir Knight J. 2.
Crawford, M. D.. Rev. w. M. Allison
gave an address on Pythianism. Sir
Knight Chandler was substituted to
read the Scripture. He read from the
2Srd chapter of Proverbs. AT the con-
clusion of the Scripture reading, the
Master of Ceremonies stated that for
some unknown reason the minister
who had been selected to preach the
sermon had not arrived. hence he in.
troduced a substitute on the spur of
the moment Rev. Henry A. Boyd
who was on the platform, consented
! to serve He selected as his text the

ter of Proverbs and took as his sub
ject "The Roll-Call." The sermon had
already begun and possibly ten min

AT ST. JOHN A. NJ. E CHURCH.

Brave and graceful marching over
the highest hill in the city of Nash
vile, the ST. John contingent of the
Pythians that were to have their
thanksgiving sermon at st. John A..
NJ e. Church dropped from the rear
of the procession and under the COM
mand of division of Volunteer Compa-
ny No. 5, of the Uniform Rank, filed in
military order into the spacious audito-
rum of the historic structure. BY spe-
cial arrangement reserved seats for the

the entire membership, but friends of
the organization and relatives of the
members soon poured into the house
leaving only standing room. Although
a few minutes late in beginning, the
services were opened by a beautiful
anthem by the st. John choir and in
vocation by Rev. NJ M. Huddleston
and then an ode led by the Pythians
and joined in by the audience was
sung. The responsive Scripture read
ing, as provided for in the program,
was clearly and distinctively read by

monies, Sir Knight ]. p Porter, in.

the success of Pythianism in the state
of Tennessee, concluding in the most
f1attering terms of the success of the
courts. Rev. H. M. Burns then read
the Scripture while Rev. T. J. Town
send, d. D., preached the Pythian SER
mon. A larger audience had never
filled the st. John Church than the
one that listened to Rev. Townsend
for one and one-half hours expounding
the gospel of the Lowly Nazarene tC
these Pythians and sisters of the
Courts of Calanthe He spoke beau
tifully and had many climaxes. Al

was manifested in the collection by thu
different lodges and courts. At the
