who would make good officers, but
in view of the fact that our present
officers have built this convention UP
to its present fiourishing condition
by. their untiring efforts and labors
during the past six or more years,
we think it to the interest OF the
convention and the Sunday schools
of this Presbyterial District that our
present officers, r. l.. Harper, pres
ident. T. C. Callicott, vice president,
and w. E. Shropshire, secretary,
should be nominated and elected for

nominate the said r. L. Harper, I.

our officers.

tious efforts and work in the past.
