for a broader and more sympathetic
and more effective endeavor to help
the world to better living.
Great stress has been laid at this
convention upon the need Of Chris
tian education and the responsibility
entailed upon the Baptists, by reason
of their numerical strength, to meet
this need. That the denomination is
wonderfully performing its part in
this work was attested by the splen-

are returning home with renewed in
spiration to increase their efforts in
this worthy cause.
Two important matters decided at

Greenville, which were both decided
afnrmatively by the Convention after
long and free discussions.
