announced TIE personnel Of the sub,
committees. On these committees
there appear nearly all Of the leading
Baptist pastors of Nashville with
their superintendent, working on
! the several committees with them.
1t was noticeable that few ladies
had been appointed Especially is
this true with the committee on
homes and the committee on enter
tainment. The conference approved
the plan and the committees have
been given permission to begin work.
Chairman Harding stated that the
committee would meet every Monday
night in the parlors of the Y. NJ. C.
A. building and that after being in
session in their various sub commit
tees they would come together as a
committee of the whole and each
hear the report of the other. He has
made arrangement for the printing
of the assignment cards and the big
| placards to be used in connection
with this meeting. Every home that
agrees to entertain any of the dele
gates and visitors will have the Con-
gress Welcome Placard in Congress
colors displayed from their homes
and Sunday School Congress Pen
nants. eve have already the names
of four hundred delegates to be as
igned at the first meeting of the COM
mittee on homes and as soon as the
cards are ready for mailing We were
never more encouraged over the out
: look of any meeting, neither have |
seen people so thoroughly aroused
and interested in the care Of visitors
as has been shown by the citizens Of
this city" declared the Rev. Mr..
Harding in the Ministers Conference
Monday morning. 1t was also an
nounced at this meeting Monday that
the Woman's Executive Board of the
Woman's National Baptist Conven-
ton which is an auxiliary of the
mems convention, had called their
board to meet in connection with the
Congress which gives further assur-
ance for an increased delegation.
This together with the announce
ment of the very low round trip rate
means that Nashville will be thrOng-
ed with Sunday school workers as
never before The Sunday School Con-
gress Sec'y. was made secretary of the
local committee OF the whole because
of his knowledge and personal ac-
quaintance with the forces through
out the country and his personal ac-
quaintance in Nashville. They will
have headquarters at the National
Baptist Publishing Board in con-
nection with the Sunday School Con-
gress and the assignment cards are
to be sent out after the arrival of
each days mail. The citizens of
Nashville, irrespective of denomina-
ton, have proffered their homes and
l agreed to cooperate with the COM
: mittee in giving to the visiting dele
gates the care they would have were
I they in their own homes, as it is
!, understood they will be representa-
), tive and that only the best from each
l. local Sunday school will be sent.
