 SYLACAUGANS THANKED
 The following resolution of thanks was adopted:
 We are truly thankful for the Chris tan hospitality showered upon us by the saints of Sylacauga.
 Many who came as strangers will re- turn to their homes feeling that they have left behind friends. Delegates and visitors alike have received every courte- sy and attention that southern hospital ity could devise.
 We wish to thank Rev. Jerome Will Hams, our ideal host, for his unfajling attentions. and to pray Gods richest blessings upon him If he becomes chan lain to the men who wear Uncle San,,s uniforms and that he may be spared for further kingdom service when this m happy war is brought to an honoro l,Ie conclusion by liberty being safeglIarded to the world.
 We wish to express our apprecia tion of the watchfulness and care of the hard working entertainment com mittee who spared no trouble or ax- m rl rir1 fO, @l, body.
 We want to go on record bv saving that the Sylacauga church is the most satisfactory house of worship in which we have ever met. It's classic o1tt lines are in keeping with it's many con- veniences. Its beauty appealed to the eye while its arrangement made 1t easy to transact the business of the convention.
 We wish to record our apprecia tion of the dear sisters whose loving; hands grew and placed the beautiful chrysanthemums on the altar of the Lord.
 We wish to let the Sylacauga pa pers know that the space given by them to the convention was noted and to commend for emphasizing relieious news in their columns.
 We thank the Alabama Marble com pany for the beautiful Saperweights presented through the church, which will be q constant reminder of the happy days spent at Sylacauga.
 We know that the Baptists would make sacrifices to entertain the stran- gers within their gates, but we hard ly hoped that other denominations would vie with their Baptist brethren in seeing if they couldn't outdo them in the matter of hospitality.
 We commend the faithful sexton for keeping the house of the Lord so tidy and appreciate his saying, Dat desc Baptits white folks never mussed up his church."
 We know that resolutions of thanks are usually perfunctory affairs, glow. ingly written and unanimously passed, but we want this community to know that while these written words may be bit formal yet deep down in our hearts we are grateful for the many kindnesses received and leave praying our heavenly Father to tenderly watch over the many homes which were so freely and graciously opened to us, Respectfully submitted, r
