Rev. B. H. Waugh, pastor Of the

turned last Friday from attendance or
the Southern Baptist convention II
Atlanta. He Is quite enthusiastic over
the proceedings Of the great meeting;
proud Of its size, proud Of its spirit
and sanguine as to the future Of his
church in America and throughout the
world. There were present, Mr
Waugh says, over four thousand regu-
larly accredited delegates, each repre-
senting a separate association. and ir
addition some eight thousand more
representatives Of various church &C,
tivities, making about 1900 or l2,00C
| in all. It was a great meeting In ev-
ery respect and broad plans were per-
fected for future developments alone
educational, home and foreign mis-
sionary lines. The action Of the army
authorities some time ago in attempt
| ing to give the Roman Catholic church
especial advantages in war work, to
the exclusion Of the various Protestant
denominations, was threshed out to its
fullest significance. The prevailing
sentiment seemed to be that the 7. M
IC. A. had failed in its opportunities
while the Red Cross, and especially the
Salvation Army, had won everlasting
honor and glory. Mr.. Waugh said thai
he felt greatly benefited by his attend
ance on the convention and feels tre-
mendously encouraged in the resump.
ton of his already pleasant work al
home.
