experience as a missionary five years
in the PHILIPPINES. Al of Mr.. Browns
talks were of the highest class. He is
young man of pleasing exterior. A
clear, strong voice that never tires
and a zeal that is born of God. The
audience never got tired of hearing
him.
The evening session was largely de-
voted to addresses of welcome and re-
sponses. Governor a w. Gilchrist
first welcomed the Sunday school
workers Of the state to its capital in a
most happy and elaborate speech.
Then the handsome young mayor of
Tallahassee followed with well chosen
words. Prof Edward Conrad, presi-
dent of the college, and others. DR..
Lincoln Hulley gave the response.
There was not a dull moment in the
evening. Every sentence of every talk
was good. r. P. Shepherd then made
one of his vigorous, telling addresses
that went to the heart Of every listen
Ell. The national association sent out
the right man when they sent him.
This session lasted until after IL
o'clock and the great audience stayed,
very few leaving before the benedict
ton. One evening the young ladies
of the college gave a reception, over
thousand attending. All were served
with light refreshments and made to
feel at home. The college is one of
the noblest monuments Of this or any
state.
The Wednesday sessions were bet
ter than the day before. Thursday
beat Wednesday. Every meeting was
better than the previous one. Every
line of religious zeal and activity was
emphasized. No one could listen to the
deep, earnest, thrilling, soul-stirring
addresses given by those who are
specialists in their various lines and
not feel the truths that are tried to
be pointed out in the first two para
graphs Of this report.
Called on Governor.
Thursday afternoon over a hundred
of the out-of- town delegates called on
the governor at the state house and
were delightfully."- entertained. He
made a nice speech explanatory Of
law making bodies, duties of presid-
ing officers, etc. He then conducted
them through the building and gave
each one a souvenir to remember him
by. When it was explained that our
governor is an "unappropriated bless
ing" some of the older of the Misses
among the visiting teachers and work
ers looked upon his manly form with
longing eyes. 1t is rumored that some
of them are looking for engagements
in Tallahassee.
The delegates from Pensacola asked
the next convention to be held here.
They got a favorable report, but TO
get the final decision we have got to
work hard. We should give $3.50 to-
ward the expenses Of the state work.
Every school in the county should
give literally. The mayor of our city,
all the churches and every institution
of the city that would be affected
should besiege the executive commit
tee with petitions and invitations Tor
the favor We must entertain all
delegates free. Throw open the doors
of our homes wide. Tell them with all
our earnestness I'VE need you; come
over to Pensacola and help u.s." The
chairman of this committee is Rev. L.
r. Walker of DeFuniak Springs, form
| erly pastor of the First Presbyterian
church here.

vention is the National, which meets
