(Written at request Of The IntelligcE-

The Anderson delegation has re-
turned from the great convention
which was held Tuesday. Wednesday
and Thursday In the city OF Charlotte.
They are unanimous In their cstimn-
tiuls OF IL as the greatest gathering
Of men in the history Of the Southern
Presbyterian church. There has new
er been such crowd of Southern
Presbyterian men in one gathering.
and there has never been such q pro-
found impression of the work Of the
church as was made ut this conference.
DIR. Campbell White. in his closing nd-
dress. denominated the missionary en-
terprisc ns tho biggest business In the
whole world. He said that in COM
parison to the Standard Oil and Unit
cd Steel enterprises were but babes!
There are thoEe Of the delegation
who have seen the widest horizon that
mas eyar dawned upon them. A
world-vis.on has been gotten. Wild
or work must result. The idle talk
OF not believing in foreign missions
Is folly to every man who looks at
the mission Of the church nf Christ as
1t Is given In such convention.
