Annual Sermon
The annual sermon will be preach
ed Tuesday evening, December 3rd,
by the Rev. P. J. Mclean, d. d., OF

Dill, D. D., of Gaffney. The Conven-
ton will assemble and organize Tues
day afternoon, and the evening Of that
day will be devoted to hearing the
sermon and receiving the reports Of
Boards.
The State Sanitarium
One of the most important and far
reaching matters which will come be-
fore the Baptist State Convention in
it's meeting here in December, will
be that of establishing hospital, or
sanitarium. The indications are that
the institution will be established
forthwith.
At the meeting of the Convention
last year. the Rev. Louis BristoW, pas
tor of the Abbeville church, introduc-
ed a resolution directing the presi-
dent to appoint committee to en-
quire into and report to the ConVen-
ton this year, the matter Of such an
institution. The committee was nam
ed, with Mr.. Bristow as Its chairman.
Throughout the year he has been in
correspondence with men in all parts
OF the Stale, and he says that only
one man among the several hundreds
from whom he has heard has eX-
pressed actual opposition to the hos
pital, while hundreds have unequivo-
,ally endorsed the proposition.
Why Not Abbeyille9
The Baptists of South Carolina
number 140,000-as many as all 9TH
er denominations combined. They are
wealthy, and support with uEstinted
hand their colleges, orphanages and
other enterprises. The sanitarlum
which they propose to establish Will
become the greatest hospital IN the
State in few years, and it Will be
the leading enterprise Of the COM
munity in which it will be established
While he is reticent to give out de-
tailed information, Mr.. Bristow says
he has assurances that several towns
and cities of the State expect to make
an effort to secure the location of the
hospital.
There is a golden opportunity for
our people in this proposed sanitar-
ium proposition. For a number OF
years there has been a strong cur
rent of opinion here that we should
have a hospital. The Civic Club has
undertaken to devise ways to secure
one. The doctors want one. The mer-
chants hope to see one. All people de-
sire to have one. Why not secure this
one?

Mr.. Ammen was an artist of rare
