the theological course OF Union univer-
si.y. Richmond Va. with honors. In
1900 honorary degrees were conferred
on him by Guadalupe college. Those
who know Or. Eason understand that
he Is very much uverse to degrees, and
1t was with much reluctance that he
consented to receive them. Some time
ago 1t was proposed that the degree Of
LII. ID. be conferred on him by Selma
university. OF which institution he Is
a trustee. But he was too modest to
accept II. He Is not opposed to degrees,
but II seems hard for him to feel salts

ular. Secretary Henry Allen Boyd's
report showed that twenty-one states
were represented and that decided
increase in numbers and finance was
noticeable throughout the Jurisdiction

the delegates arrived and the eleventh
annual session was opened up to the
close. there was Sunday school work

tention. were requested to be repro

the publishing board.
Each afternoon the fourteen various
departments under their special select
ed conductors and assistants held forth
in the various churches of all denomi
nations Unusual interest was mani
tested by the workers. who were in
tent upon getting every scrap of in
formation that would be helpful tC
them in their work.

While 1t was true that these led in
attendance and had the largest enroll
ment each afternoon. the other de
partments shared a like interest both
and gave evidence to the Sunday
school workers OF their devotion and
consecrat ton to the service. The home
department. though new. under the di-
rection of Miss Morgan. received per

most substantial attention that has
been noticea bic in eleven years.
