 Probably the most important re- Iigious gathering, at ast of recent date. closed Saturday JN 2s, at Stockholm. Sweden. Ih. .as the World Baptist Congress, -the third gathering of It's kind. There were gome $500 delegates from 23 different countries. Every continent was rep resented and several islands. From Japan and China to the Indians of the East and the Indians of our own land. About half of the delegates were from the United States.
 Addresses and singings were listened to in g. number of languages. The addresses were translated for us. It was one of the thrilling events or the congress to find much of the fire and fever of the first speaker carried over into the speech of the lnterpre- ter. The quality and character of the matter presented by men from Pol and. Austria and others was 8 pleas ant surprise. It was very evident that these republics coming forth In the midst of more or less persecution, have much of the sturdy faith and deep piety that belongs to tho mar tyrs of long ago.
 Tn the public singing each nation ality was requested to join in In his own language. The hymns were printed in four languages in the Con- gress hymn books, but were known in many languages Of the throng, one was reminded of the Pentecost of the Gospel when Every man heard In his own language the wonderful words of God To listen to the mingling of various tongues was to catch har- monies that thrilled the soul.
 "One of the pathetic sights of tho conference was the efforts of some Of these people to express to Amerl- cans their appreciation of material help during the past years. one oay Mrs. Thomas and l were surrounded by company of people whose spokesman, in broken English and al- most in tears, thanked us as repre- senatives of their benefactors. We were glad that we had had the priv ilege of contributing to that partlcu- far work.
 "This great meeting contributed to a better feeling between the people represented. The message these few represented will carry back good will and friendship and will aid to larger vision and larger confidence in one another.
 Tt will encourage tho strag ghns people to fight their way upward. IL will encourage the leading people to continue their labors of love.
 Tt was a pleasure to meet so many of our southern friends at this gathering. It was matter of prioe to have Dr. B. r. Mullins elected president of this great body; .
