SOUTHERN BAPTISTS AT HOT
SPRINGS, ARK, THIS WEEK

The biggest thing in the world in the
way of annual Baptist conventions be-
gins this week at Hot Springs, Ark.
1t is the annual meeting of the South
ern Baptist convention which rep
resents the activities of more than
three million Baptists in sixteen of
the Southern States.
1t is certain that the war will figure
largely in the discussion of this year
Already Southern Baptists have manv
men working as camp pastors, and
quite number are serving as Y. NC
a. helpers. There is a general feel
ing that the rights and privileges ac-
corded to the Roman Catholic church
OF entering the cantonments under
military authority and sanction, of
building places of worship, and of
supplying pastors and evangelists
should be granted to all denomina-
tons, and it is most likely that as
with the Southern Methodists. the
matter will be taken up with the au-
liberties at Washington.
A large deputation of leading Ban
t1sts LETT Macon early this week, and
1t is an open secret that united efforts
are to be made to bring the conven-
ton to Atlanta in 1919.
The First Baptist church of this
city sent Miss Sarah Funderburke as
their representative.

SUNDAY WAS BIG DAY
AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Sunday was great day at the Cen
trail Christian church in this city. The
pastor had announced a week ago that
a great surprise was in store for those
who would attend the following Sum
day, and a geat crowd filled the
church when the services opened at
II o'clock.
After the preliminaries were over
the pastor gave an account of the
great convention held in Atlanta.
known as the Men and Millions
Movement. He told of the great un-
dertaking of the men at the head of
this movement, that of raising six and
a Quarter million dollars in three wears
from the Christian churches of Am
erica. The money thus raised is TO
be used by the church in building I'D
and extending the foreign mission
field, of broadening the christian edu-
cation OF our young people through
the colleges all over America, and for
all church benevo1ences.
After telling of the needs of all
these, Rev, Fox told the congrega-
ton that he was going to ask them
to do the impossible, give $500 that
morning for the work as outlined
above He explained that it was i'm
possible by the past standards of
giving, but that if the church caught
the new vision and kept pace with the
times it would not be an impossibility
but could be done easily.
In fifteen minutes from that time
the church had given $335.00, thus
showing to all that they meant to
keep up with the times and little
ahead. 1t was great and inspiring
sight to all those present to see the
way people gave and that the church
will be blessed accordingly, no one
doubts.
At the evening service Rev. Fox
preached a sermon suitable to Mo-
theirs Day and Miss Henrietta tones.
OF DELLA, gave another reading, en-
titled, Mother O Mine" in her usual
charming manner and gripped the
hearts of all those who heard her.

PASSING OF A NOBLE WOMAN

1t isn't often, nor is it so very Gus
tomary, for friends to write about the
dead. But in this instance | want to
try to express my feelings, and con-
vey to the friends and relatives of
the deceased, Mrs. Mollie Dorminey,
that true sympathy that we should ex-
tend to our friends from time to time
as one by one they pass to the great
beyond.
: | feel sure there are hundreds of
people who feel as | do, that in the
passing of this noble woman her
presence will be missed. AS that old
song rings IN my ears, will you miss
me when I'm gomez" Yes, all who
knew her will miss her, Tor she is
gone. But long will she be remember
ed by those who knew ner for 10 these
many years. That kindly and friendly
disposition which marked her every
day life has won for her many friends:
that kind and friendly disposition has
prompted me to express my sympathy
in this way.
Some thirty years ago, when | was
d lad of boy located in this sec
ton OF the county, then Irwin,I first
met some of these old landmarks, who
had hearts, big hearts" in them
noble men and women indeed were
some OF these families. Some of them
have passed and gone, but they're not
forgotten. SO will it be with this
good woman, gone but not forgotten.
And to the good old friend William
u. Dormlney, let me say, though your
head is poisoning for the grave, your
friendship to me has been dear. The
many kind words that came from YOU
and that dear companion of yours who
has gone, have been a great inspira
ton to me. No man has ever had
greater companion than you A word
OF cheer and comfort. kind and
to everybody, rich or poor,
her disposition in life. What
wonderful country this would be if
we all only had the disposition that
Mrs. Dorminey had. The call to 90
hence is coming to us all, but when
our friends are dropping here and
there we pause a moment only to
wonder who will answer the next
call
