The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1924-09-27

lists had one more big convention.
They were there from everywhere.
believe it was the number you read
about in the Bible. the number that
John saw. The mayor Of Nashville
delivered an address Of welcome and
after looking for some few minutes at
that host, he asked Where did all you
people come from anyway You are
not through coming yet"
1t was wonderful how them Bap-
lists worked as one. They are now
applying the unit rule, all working a.
one. and the object i the new home
for the Sunday School Publishing
Board, with Dr. "A. M. Townsend as
secretary. DR.. L. X. Williams should
be one more proud man, for these
people are all following his lead. and
they are declaring him the man of the
hour, the new Moses for Baptists, and
men Of both races are singing his
praises
He has one hand in that Of the
white Baptists north and the other in
that Of the white Baptist south. and il
uniting them and at the same time he
has both hands in the hands Of his
own people, and they are saying to
him, where you lead US we will fol-
low you" They arc doing that thing.
New England, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey Maryland and all
them other states were down in Nash
vile, and DR.. w. W. Brown, that great
preacher Of New York. preached the
annual missionary sermon. Put it
down that it was preached.
DR.. L. K. Williams was elected to
succeed himself as president by all the
delegates voting for him. I consider
this high honor. DIR. w. NJ. Taylor
Of Baton Rouge, La, was elected vice
president at large, and they elected two
others, Revs. R. M. Caver Of Little
Rock, Ark, and ]. G. Jackson Of Hart
ford, Conn. and both are strong men.
DR.. Jackson is president of the New
England convention, and Caver is
moderator Of the Union District Bap-
fist Association Of his state. Prof r.
@. Hudson was elected secretary, and
this position he has held for IS years.
Perhaps you want to know the assis-
tant secretaries. They are Revs. IT. O.
Fuller, J. n. Nabrit, E. H. Mcdonald
and E. Arlington Wilson, and the man
to succeed DR. Andrew Jackson Stokes
is DR.. A. D. Williams, of Atlanta, Ga,
another great preacher. He will fiji
the position well.
