BAPT TIST CONVE TON AT
 PHOENIX

The Arizona Baptist Convention ad- ! journed her twentieth annual session ! last week It was the best session in the history of the convention. Dele gates were in attendance from all over the state and most all the general workers for the Pacific coast were present.
 Throughout the convention a deep spiritual interest prevailed and the fellowship of the brethren was de- { lightfui. The reports from the fields showed that the past year had been one of progress. There have been fewer changes in the pastorates this year than common.
 There was a steady gain in member ship throughout the year which show ed that pastors had done efficient work iii all their churches. When the report from Bisbee first was made, a cheer went up all over the house, and what has been achiev- ed on this field has been accomplished in many other places in the state.
 The state secretary stated on the floor Of the convention that never be- fore in the history of our Baptist work had we such an efficient corps of pas tors in Arizona 2s at the present time. The convention spirit among lay men, pastors, and general workers was for enlargement
 This year is full Of hope and en- couragement The American Baptist Home Mission society through their representative, pr. Woody, of the Pa. cific coast assured us that more mon ey would be put into the Arizona work and a number of new church houses built during the year.
 The American Baptist Publication society, represented by George L. White. laid plans for aggressive work that means much to the Baptist cause in the state.
 Dr. Carl Williams of Globe was ap' pointed Sunday school director and takes the field the first of May, for all time.
 The Chapel Car "EvangeT will spend the fall and winter in Arizona holding meetings at various points Bisbee included.
 It might be of interest to some to know that some Of the officers Of the convention were elected from the southern part of the state.
 Rev. Francis T. Walker of Douglas was chosen as president of the con vention. Rev. J. W. Epperly was elected as recording secretary and l.. D. Gamble, vice president of the Bap- tist Young Peoples union of Arizona The convention meets next year at Prescott and Rev. J. W. Epperly of Bisbee was chosen to preach the an- nual convention sermon.

 The bazaar will open on Tuesday night, the first number on the pro gram being a selection by the Cop per Queen band, and then the fun will be on.
 There will be booths of course, for it would not be a bazaar without them, and these will be presided over by charming matrons and pretty girls while other equally charming and pret. ty women and girls will fit hither and thither through the throng The scene needs no description in Bisbee. it has been seen before but it is promised that it will be shown again with improvements and on a larger scale.
