The Baptist Sunday School and B.
Y. P. U. convention just closed one
of the best session in the history of
the organization at the Rays Chapel
Baptist Church, near McDavid, Fla.
This convention was in session for
three days and much interest was
manifest through the entire session,
both in attendance and interest. The
crowd was so large in the Sunday
services that it became necessary to
move out into the grove near the
church to accommodate the great
multitude of people that came from
almost every quarter.
Rev. R. J. O'Bryant, pastor of the
East Hill Baptist Church, was Sc
lected as the speaker for the eleven
o'clock service, and delivered an able
address that was enjoyed by every
one in attendance.
Rev. A. J. AnsIey, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, was elected as
president of the convention for the
ensuing year, and Rev. l. I. Roberts
was reelected secretary-treasurer.
Much progress was made in almost
every line as is shown by the follow
ing report:
Number schools reported 1; mes
sengers in attendance, 81; pupils re-
ported, ,435; officers reported, 1853;
baptisms in schools since last meet
ing, 60; B. Y. ?. US reported, s;
/ B. Y. P. L. members reported 200;
| the next session of the convention
Will be held with the Santa Rose
schools.

Memphis 5, Little Rock s

Little Rock, April 30.-Although
they played through a gruelling dozen
innings, the winning ruu could not be
put across, and today's game between
the Chicks and the Travellers was call
ed at the end of the twelfth inning on
account of darkness. At one stage of
the game when an error was pulled
by the of the Travellers, it looked like
it was another game for Memphis,
but this did not happen to be the case,
and darkness stopped the fray. Both
teams hit freely and regularly, a total
of fourteen being registered by both
home team and visitors. Not an error
was scored by the Chicks, and Willett
and McColl tried hard to win, but
were unable. Philips for the Tray

ssWhat Was Secret

''What Was Secret of First Woman"
"What was the secret of the first
woman?"
This aIl-important question is
answered in the Metro-Popular Plays
and Players production, "The Secret
of Eve" which will be seen at the
Bonita theater tomorrow with the
gifted Nine. Petrova as the star.
Perry Verkroff directed this five
part Metro wonderplay, which is
from the pen of Aaron Hoffman, au-
thor of many successes.
"The Secret of Eve" shows how
in every period of the worlds his
tory, men and women have occupied
their minds with the fevered pursuit
after selfish happiness, and the Sc
cret Eve Brandon discovers is
what? See the play and find the
answer. "The Secret of Eve" is a
vital, absorbing photoplay, full OF
