A discussion of the two great theo

Louisville, KY, and the Southwestern
Baptist Theological Seminary of
Fort Worth, Tex, featured yesterday
session of the convention.

in the Louisville Seminary and re-
garded as one of the chief authorities
on missions in the entire denomina

Importance of UNCONVENTIONAL sup

keen philosophic thought and was
characterized by subtle persuasive
power. The Louisville seminary, he
said, with property worth 100000
and an endowment which brought
its total assets very near to two mil

and 50 women. Scholarship and or

both seminaries, DR.. Mcconnell said,
