work in all departments of the con-
vention will surpass the year just
closed, for the reason that the Bap-

leaders are understanding each other
better, and are beginning to learn
more and more the importance OF
combining to do the work, they have
undertaken at home and abroad. This

and arChitecturally attractive. The
grounds were transformed and made
a beautiful landscape, with flower
beds, gardens, groves and driveways,
most attractive of those seeking
rest, meditation and communion with
God and nature Now, there are
eight buildings, four having been
added this year Dr. Shepard, of ne
ceSsity spends the most of his time
travelling in the interest of this great
plant in embroy. His plans are ad-
mirably executed by the vice presi-
dent, Prof c, G. O'Kelly, than
whom there is no more competent
and practical educator among US.
Prof. O'Kelly is not one of the va
rlety who blows their own horn.
But he is a most practical and pro-
ficient educator, who knows the work
from the bottom up, and whose long
experience in managing educational
institutions during their formative pc
TiOd, has been and is of untold ser
vice in the early stages of such a
mastertul project, as the National
promises to be.
The success Of the school seems
to have been assured from the be
ginning; and the necessity for en-
largement appeared soon after the
opening of the first school year. Stu

salutary discipline, but also under
the most faT-reaChing altruistiC InHu-

the school and community are all
that could be desired, including cleo
triC facilities, steam heat and mod
ern bath arrangements for personal
comfort, to say nothing of the oppor-
tunitIes of the highest social culture.
No school it seems to me has more
clearly defined, and lived up to. lis
purpose TO make religion the basic
principle of all its operations It is al
together undenOminatlOnal and draws
its workers and patrons from the va
riOus denominations without reference
thereto. The study and incubation of
BiCle truth is its Chieef aim. The Cul-
tivation of college sports, the art of
music, the science, business and in
dustrial culture, professional prepara-
ton or whatever line of work one
may pursue there, is thoroughly i'm
bued with religious development, in
the hope that the finished product of
the school will represent the highest
type of the well-rounded and thor

chicken pest of any sort; no chicken
has been afflicted with "sore-head, y

could possibly have anticipated. If
