TODAY were DR.. Stakely of Montgomery
and Mr.. Leavell, the Sunday school
expert, from Nashville. S. A. Cowan hao
TO return to Montgomery to fill his
regular appointments tomorrow
The opening address this morning
was by Professor Mckee In the sun
day school training series. Connected
with his address there was a touching
incident. Professor Mckee had just
concluded plea for the study of child
life and before leaving the stage stated
that he had been called away anu
would be unable to continue the series,
when some one in the audience ex-
planned that Professor Mckee was
called home by news of the illness OF
his little child, and DR.. Barnett made
motion that prayers should be Of
fered for the little one ere the father
left on his sad journey, and DR.. Bar
nett was requested to lead the prayer.
This was a Baptist Young Peoples
union day and naturally infused a
newness of life. In the first address
Thomas v. Wingfield stated very for
chilly the need of union in every
to have made the second address. but
for some reason he failed to respond,
and J. w. Willis filled his place. He
began by stating that he was but
substitute and If the address was
failure 1t was Mr.. Lees; If a success
1t was his own. By this test 1t was
undoubtedly his own. The third ad-
dress was by Prof. G. w. Macon. THE
Purpose of Education Through the Bap-
fist Young Peoples Union" was his
subject. There were four things he
said 1t would do for the young: Reveal
them, equip them, adapt them, invest
them. He said in investing one placed
his money in something and left it
there; in this investment of the Bap-
give themselves into Gods hands in
his Kingdom and for his Kingdom
And still they gazed and still the Won
der grew,
That one small head could carry all
he knew"
This quotation greeted DR.. Carver as
he finished his address this morning.
Not enough has been said about the
wonderful development of the choir.
1t is really splendid. Tonight the Wis
itors will be asked to express them
selves in regard to the encampment and
a special musical programme will be in
terwoven with the short addresses.
There will be two choruses a male
quartet, several solos, and mixed
quartet. At the quiet hour this even
Ing Mrs. Bennett and Miss Askew will
sing a duet In God My Soul Abideth"
(Bellinf). For tomorrow an anthem has
been arranged and there will be solo
by Miss Askew. Mr.. and Mrs. J. w.
Willis continue to charm with their
voices
The address last evening was by DR..
A. p Montague on THE Preacher as a

ing how the preacher had stimulated
the religious, social and political
growth of this state through its past
history and the great influence he was
to have in all the mighty problems OF
the day; how the preacher could in
crease his own intelligence by tho read
ing of good books. magazines, news
papers and the great poems Of the
world. 1t was an address that made
powerful i'll On upon its hearers
and was freque.- referred to today.
