One Life to Account For.
God pity the husband who ever saw
his wife's 'countenance fall because
she was disappointed in him. It is
appointed unto man once to live and
die and then the judgment. Every
person has one life to account for.
Take heed how you spend it. You
have only one life in which to serve
God. There is but little space between
you and the grave. All the good you
do must be done before you reach
the grave Each one must account
for the opportunities used or abused:
When one day passes it has passed
never to return. Are you living your
life after the Divine pattern? The
greatest thing in this world is to be
a Christian. Are you true Chris
tian? Jesus Christ is the pearl which
sticketh closer than a brother.

Bapt1sts Resent Refusal of

WOMEN ARE GIVEN LA1TY
RIGHTS AND TAKE PART
IN CONVENTION.

Hot Springs, May l6,-Fcr the
first time in the history OF the
Southern Baptist churches, women
members of the denomination are
participating in the deliberations OF
the Southern Baptist convention.
Action OF the convention yesterday
in giving women all church rights
that are accorded men, was cOnsjd-
cred to be forthwith" action, and
some states Immediately acc edited
their women representatives.
According to the official records
OF the convention, Mrs. a. ii. Bedoe
OF Dallas, exas, was the first wom-
an to receive her credentials and
appointment. Mrs. Mary Davis, also
OF Dallas. was certified to the con-
vention as 4 delegate Immediately

More than LOO accredited dele
gates are attending the convention,
which formally opened yesterday,
and an almost equal number OF
women are attending the session OF
the woman's missionary union, the
principal organization oil southern
Baptist women.
That Army Trouble.
Interest in today's session OF the
convention was quickcned when the
delegates gathered at the tabernacle
and heard that "delicately word
ed resolution decrying lhe army
rule against denominational work
in military camps would be nitro
duced. Some of the delegates were
open in their demands fov resolu-
ton which would pay moic atten-
ton to action than to delicate
Words and the only contest that
the resolution was expected to meet
was on the degree on insStence its
wording should contain.
O. l.. Haley OF Dallas, Texas, i
sponsor for the official resolution,
and in presenting it to the convcn-
tion. pointed out that the majority
of military cantonments III the
United States are located III the
South, and that among the soldiers
in attendance there necessarily is =
large number OF Southern Baptists
who suddenly have been taken from
their home and church surround
ings.
Indorse Y. M. c. A. Work.
The work Of Baptist chaplains was
commended, as was that being done
bv the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation, but ii was made clear th9'
the Baptists resented opposition
which they meet in attempting de
nominational work i'll the army
camps.
Among other important matters
before the convention todav was the
open discussion OF the home mis-
sion boards work durinS the last
wear. together with the initial report
of the commission on ministerial
pensions.
The committee was appointed to
investigate the advisability OF eStab-
fishing permanent pensions for wld
ows and orphans OF ministers, and
to secure annuities to aged and de-
pendent ministers.
