lima Hold Meetings.
DR.. R. H. Boyd
Present.

Carbondale, ILL.,, May 25th-After
the better part of this week here, the
delegates to the Illinois Baptist State
Convention have begun to depart for
their various homes. The sessions
were held in the First Baptist Church
of this city and were largely attended,
there being many distinguished WISH
tors here from several states. Notable
among those in attendance was the
Rev. Edward P. Jones, D. D., of Vicks-
of the National Baptist Convention I'M
incorporated and Is easily one of the
national characters, known in every
state In the Union, He was a special
guest of the convention and spoke
last night to a magnificent audience.
He left today for his home in Mis-
sissippi. Another one of the visitors
who was heard to the delight Of one
of the biggest audiences that was ever
packed into a church in this city, was
the Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., of Nash
vile, the founder and present secre
tary of the great publishing house OF
that city, about which so much has
been said and written. DR.. Boyd moi
only delighted the delegates Of the con
vention and the citizens of this city
with the address, but gave the inter
probation of the plantation or jubilee
melodies and songs, such as has never
been heard here. 1t was an evolution
from pulpiteer and platform speak
er to an instructor in singing. Tit
mixed audience Of white and coloret
was held spell-bound as he told O.
the origin of the songs and how hi!

The meeting last Sunday, with Rev

begun Monday night at the Mt. Olive
Baptist Church under the direction of

who reached the city last Sunday.
When the national chorister arrived
he was met by the Sunday School Con-
gress Secretary at the Union Station
and taken Immediately to the Mt. Olive
Church last Sunday. From there he
was taken to his stopping place. All
day Monday there was noted chorus
air throughout the city. The first
official act Of the chorister was to re-
port early Monday morning at the
Congress headquarters to give official
notice he was on the grounds and
ready for the fray. He spoke to the en-
ployees of the National Baptist Pub
fishing Board at the chapel hour, being
introduced by DR.. r. H. Boyd. Then
at the Mt. Olive Church Monday night
he was presented once more to large
portion of the chorus that had gather
ed to receive him. Rev. Mr.. Haw-
! thOrne, the president Of the local
/ chorus turned the organization over
! to the chorister after an eloquent ad
dress setting forth what Nashville was
capable of and would do for the twelfth
annual session of the Sunday Schoo
/ Congress. Prof. Johnson then out
lined some of the things he woulC
attempt to do to make the chorus a.

presented by any other city for a ma
tional gathering. Rehearsals were a
